A memory with 8-bit data bus and 8-bit address bus can store a maximum of

Concept:

• The maximum number of bytes directly addressable in a computer depends on the number of bits in the memory address.
• For an n-bit address bus, the memory can store:

          M ≤ 2ⁿ Bytes, since an 8-bit represents a byte.

Calculation:

Given Address bus = 8-bit

A maximum number of bytes the memory can store will be:

M = 2⁸ Bytes

M = 256 Bytes

A typical representation of memory locations for an 8-bit address bus is as shown:
