What is the purpose of "address decoding" in a memory system?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Decoder logic interprets the address bits provided by the CPU to select the specific memory chip and location being accessed, enabling the correct memory cell to respond to read/write operations
A
Correct Answer
Decoder logic interprets the address bits provided by the CPU to select the specific memory chip and location being accessed, enabling the correct memory cell to respond to read/write operations
Explanation
In systems with multiple memory chips or banks, address decoders use higher-order address bits to determine which chip/bank is being addressed, while lower-order bits select the specific location within that chip.
