The 8086/8088 has 20 address lines. It can access 220, or 1MB, or 1,048,576 bytes of memory.
The 8086/8088 has 20 address lines. It can access 220, or 1MB, or 1,048,576 bytes of memory.
The number of address lines needed to access N-KB is given by log2N Then the number of address lines needed to access 256KB of main memory will be log2256000=18 address lines.
You need 30 address lines to access 1G of memory. 230 = 1,073,741,824. log2 (1,073,741,824) = 30.
It refers to Memory Address since variable will never be a NUMBER it is Memory Address like an HexaDecimal Address of FFFFH. Eds
It takes 23 address lines to address 8 mb of memory.
The 8086/8088 microprocessor has a 20 bit address bus, so the number of memory locations it can address is 220 or 1,048,576.
In real mode addressing for x86 cpus, memory is addressed with pairs of a segment and offset. The offset is added to the segment address multiplied by 16 to yield a 20-bit (20 binary digits, in other words, from the number 0 to (2^20)-1=1,048,575) address that points to a specific byte (8-bit number) in memory. Real mode is different than protected mode (which is used by Windows 95+, Linux on x86, etc) in that there is no segment protection, no inherent multitasking support, and it is possible to directly access the BIOS interrupts. Note also that the 20-bit address number prevents more than one (1) megabyte of memory from being addressed at a time.
The address of the last byte in a 512 mega byte memory, expressed as a decimal number, is 536,870,911.
HI I am Ahtarva,The addressibility is how many bits does that particular processor or micro-controller's architecture use to specify the address of a memory location in the memory. For example if someone say that addressibility is 8 bit then your memory address contains 8 bits and at maximum you have 2^8 different memory locations (or say memory addresses in your device). Here 2^8 is called Address space.
it is decimal unsigned number system...
The number of memory locations that a CPU with 16 bit program counter can address is 65,536. However, the 8086/8088 has a segmented architecture giving a total addressibility of 20 bits or 1,048,576 locations. Without changing the code segment register, though, you can only access 65,536 locations.
There are a number of people who have asked this same question. The Answer is still Random Access Memory
