Suppose that a 16M x 32 memory is to be built using 512K x 8 RAM chips and that the memory is word addressable. a) How many RAM chips are necessary? How many banks? How many chips per bank? b) If we are to access one full word, how many chips will be involved? c) How many address bits are needed for each RAM chip? d) How many address bits are needed for the entire memory? e) If high-order interleaving is used, which bank will contain word 14? Word 42? Assume addresses and banks are numbered starting with O. f) Repeat part (e) for low-order interleaving Suppose that a 16M x 32 memory is to be built using 512K x 8 RAM chips and that the memory is word addressable. a) How many RAM chips are necessary?
