🔍 Key Concepts

• Address pins and memory size – how the number of address lines determines how many unique locations you can select • Data bus width – how many bits are stored in each memory cell or location • Relationship between binary combinations and the number of lines (2^n)

💭 Think About

• First, figure out how many different addresses you can create with 4 address pins. Think in terms of binary 0s and 1s on each pin. • Then decide what one "memory cell" means in this context: is it one bit, or one full data word available on the data bus? • Combine the number of addresses with what each address gives you on the data bus to find the total number of individual memory cells.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how many unique combinations 4 address pins can produce using 2^n. • Confirm whether a "cell" in this kind of IC refers to one bit per address line or one full data word per address (all data pins together). • Double-check that you are not mistakenly multiplying by the number of address pins when you should be using an exponent (2^n, not 4 × n).
