Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Construct a detailed memory addressing scheme for a microcontroller that uses multiple chips: a 4KB chip, an 8KB chip, and a 16KB chip within a total address space of 128KB. Identify overlaps and non-allocated spaces.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the ranges based on each chip's capacity and outline any overlaps.

Question 2

You have a microprocessor with 12 address lines controlling four different chips of varying capacity: three 4KB chips and one 16KB chip. Calculate the total addressable range and propose an addressing scheme.

💡 Hint: Use the total available space wisely, ensuring no overlaps.
