Answer:
There total capacity of RAM is 4096 bits.
Word Size = 16 bits
Total Number of words in RAM = 4096/16
Total Number of words in RAM = 256 locations
Now compute the number of addresses.
No. of addresses = log₂(256)
= log₁₀(256)/log₁₀(2)
No. of addresses = 8 address lines
Total 8 address lines required to address 256 locations RAM of size 16 bit each location.
Explanation:
There we are unable to calculate log base 2. There is a formula to calculate this as
log₂(x)= log₁₀(x)/log₁₀(2)
