0 0 votes It is given that for 4096 cells in each row are divided in to 512 groups of 8. Therefore address bits are of 12 to select row and 9 are to select a bit from a selected row. My question is how we decide this 9 bits for one row in order to select one bit ?

To make it total 21 bit address as it is memory is of 16 megabit I.e. 2M*8. 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
