Question
16 bit microprocessor has memory
16 bit microprocessor has memory
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B 64 KB
16 bit microprocessor
has memory 64 KB.
The signed range of
integer values that can be stored in 16 bits is −32,768 (−1 ×
2^15) through 32,767 (2^15 − 1); the
unsigned range is 0 through
65,535 (2^16−
1). Since 2^16 is 65,536, a processor with 16-bit memory addresses can
directly access 64 KB (65,536 bytes) of byte-addressable memory.
Microprocessor indicates the width of the registers. A 16-bit
microprocessor can process
data and memory addresses that are represented by 16 bits. Bus: indicates the number of wires in the bus. A 16-bit bus transmits 16 bits in parallel.
