Bit addressability refers to the capability of a computer system to access and manipulate individual bits within a byte of memory. Unlike byte addressable systems, where memory is accessed in units of one byte (8 bits), bit addressable systems allow for operations on specific bits, enabling finer control and efficient data manipulation. This feature is particularly useful in applications requiring precise control over data storage, such as in embedded systems or digital signal processing.

What address in the bit band region of the cortex m3 contains the bit that correspond to word address 2201234 in the bit band alias?

In the Cortex-M3 architecture, the bit band region allows for individual bits of a word in memory to be accessed directly. To find the corresponding bit in the bit band alias for a word address of 2201234, you can use the formula: Bit Band Address = (Bit Band Base) + (Word Address * 32) + (Bit Number). The bit band base for SRAM is typically 0x20000000, so the corresponding bit address would be calculated accordingly. For the given word address, you would first convert it to the bit band address by substituting the values into the formula.

How many Terabytes of memory would a 40 bit address bus be able to address if the system word length was 8bits 16bits 32bits?

1TB is 240 bytes. It follows that a 40 bit address bus can address 1TB. Since 1TB is 1TB regardless of the system's word size, a 40 bit address bus can address 1TB on a computer with an 8 bit, a 16 bit, a 32 bit, or any other word size.


How are segment registers used to form a 20-bit address?

The 16 bit segment register is left shifted by 4 and added to the effective address to form a 20 bit physical address.


What is higher order address of a 16 bit address?

In the 8085, the high order address is A8-A15. In the 8086/8088, the high order address is A8-A19. (For a 16-bit address, the answer is A8-A15, but the answer above reflects the chosen categories, 8085 and 8086/8088, with the 8086/8088 running in 20-bit mode.) In Windows XP, running in 32-bit mode, the high order address is A8-A31, a 32 bit address.

How many bytes of date can be addressed by a computer system with an 11-bit address bus and an 8-bit data bus?

There can be one byte of data transferred at one time on the 8-bit data bus, but without knowing more about the architecture and the address and data bus multiplexing we cannot know how many bytes can be addressed.Perhaps the machine architecture uses 2 address bus cycles to send out a 16-bit address and 6-bits of control signals, then uses 2 data bus cycles to read or write the 16-bit word at that address, which would mean this computer system addressed two bytes at one time.Perhaps the machine architecture uses 3 address bus cycles to send out a 32-bit address and a 1-bit control signal, then uses 4 data bus cycles to read or write the 32-bit word at that address, which would mean this computer system addressed four bytes at one time.Perhaps the machine architecture uses 6 address bus cycles to send out a 64-bit address and 2-bits of control signals, then uses 8 data bus cycles to read or write the 64-bit word at that address, which would mean this computer system addressed eight bytes at one time.Perhaps the machine architecture has a variable word length (which could be specified in many different ways depending on the architecture), in which case almost any number of bytes could be addressed at one time (with different numbers of bytes in each addressing operation).There are many other possibilities.


What is a 32-bit string used to identify a computer on a network?

IP address are the unique address. IP or internet protocol addresses are also known as logical addresses . The 32 bit address is the IPV4 address.


How many bits in a PS4?

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) uses a 64-bit architecture for its CPU. This means that it can process data in 64-bit chunks, allowing for improved performance and the ability to address larger amounts of memory compared to 32-bit systems. The system's RAM is 8 GB, which is also compatible with the 64-bit processing capabilities.
