Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Explain how you would set up address mapping for a system with 32KB ROM and 16KB RAM and describe the address ranges.

💡 Hint: Calculate the range based on each chip’s capacity and avoid overlaps.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using partial decoding in an embedded system compared to full decoding.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how each decoding type affects system performance.
