Why is data bus bidirectional but address bus is unidirectional?

since data can be read /write from/to the microprocessor, hence data bus is bidirectional. if data is required read from microprocessor then it will be pointing to a memory location by the address bus, by indicating which location data its required to read. similarly to write a data to a location, again the microprocessor will be to that particular location by holding that address in address bus. hence it will be unidirectional.

What is the width of the address bus on the modern core i7 microprocessor?

32 bit


Why is data bus bidirectional but address bus unidirectional?

The address bus is unidirectional becos address information is always given by microprocessor to i/o devices. The data bus is bidirectional bcos it takes the data from other devices & also give the data to other i/o devices


What is the address space range of a microprocessor with 32-bit address bus?

What is definition of latches in micro processor?

Latches in Microprocessor are used for demultiplexing address/data bus.


Why microcomputer system based on 8 bit microprocessor have 64K memory?

Even though the 8085 is an 8 bit microprocessor, it can address 64K memory, because it has a 16 bit address bus.


What is the direction of information flow on the the address and data bus?

The address bus is unidirectional(only in one direction) in the processor. So, the flow of information on this bus is from the microprocessor to the attached device(memory module).


Why memory capacity of 8085 mp is 64 KB?

The memory capacity of the 8085 microprocessor is 64 kb because the address bus is 16 bits, and you can address 216, or 64kb, with a 16 bit address bus.


What is a bus specify the function of address bus and direction of information flow on the address bus?

A bus is a collection of conducting wires which connect the processor and other devices in parallel scheme. The function of an address bus is to carry the address of the memory locations from the processor to the memory device, the address bus is unidirectional(only in one direction) in this processor so the flow of information on this bus is from the microprocessor to the attached device(memory module).


How a microprocessor is able to READ and WRITE a in RAM?

A microprocessor reads and writes data in RAM by using a system of address and data buses. When the microprocessor needs to read data, it sends the specific memory address through the address bus, and the RAM responds by placing the requested data on the data bus. For writing data, the microprocessor sends the address of the memory location along with the data to be stored, using control signals to indicate a write operation. This interaction allows for efficient data retrieval and storage, enabling the processor to perform tasks effectively.
