The concept of memory
- is made up of large number of locations.
- each is uniquely identifiable
- each have the ability to store a value
Address space
- is the total number of uniquely identifiable memory locations.
ex. 16 MB memory
- this consist of 16 million uniquely identifiable memory locations
Addressibility
- is the number of bits stored in each memory location.
ex. 16 mb memory
byte = 8 bits.
Ex. 2^2 by 3 Bit memory.
Address space: 2^2 - 4 memory locations
Addressibility: 3 bits
sequential logic circuits
- digital logic structures that can both process and store information.
state
- set of values stored is the state at a particular time
counter (0->3>0)
000
001
010
011
100
*each of these are states.
