In technology, the bus is used to carry data. The width of a data bus helps determine the amount of bytes that can be carried out each second.
Yes, the data bus and address bus play crucial roles in determining the address space of a CPU. The address bus defines the range of memory addresses that the CPU can access, with its width (number of lines) directly influencing the maximum addressable memory. The data bus, on the other hand, determines how much data can be transferred simultaneously between the CPU and memory. Together, they define the overall capability of the CPU to communicate with memory and peripherals.
32 bit
The width of the address bus on the 8085 was decided based on a compromise between functionality, cost, and complexity. Intel decide to use 16 bits, as that was in keeping with common design at that time, and also because the 8085 was actually an enhanced version of the 8080.
The width of a public city bus is about 5 ft wide.
An 80286 has a 24 bit address bus. As such, it can address 224, or 16,777,216, or 16 MB of memory.
An address bus is a vital component in a computer's architecture that carries addresses from the CPU to other components, such as memory and input/output devices. Its width, measured in bits, determines the maximum addressable memory capacity; for instance, a 32-bit address bus can address up to 4 GB of RAM. Additionally, the address bus is unidirectional, meaning it only transmits data from the CPU to other devices, not the other way around.
MCA
The speed of system random-access memory is determined by two factors: bus width and bus speed. Bus width refers to how many bits of information RAM can send to the CPU at the same time.
The address bus is a section of the bus that emits the address of the desired instruction or operand.
The address bus is used by the processor in a computer to locate a piece of data from the RAM (Random Access Memory) that it needs to access. No real data is carried via the address bus, as this is the job of the Data Bus. The pieces of data that the address bus locates are called "addresses" and the address bus transfers "data addresses" to and from the control unit.
The address bus in the 8085 is 16 bits wide.
