Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A 16-bits address bus can generate ____ addresses.
A
32767
B
25652
C
65536
D
None of the mentioned
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A 16-bit integer can store 216 (or 65, 536) distinct values. In an unsigned representation, these values are the integers between 0 and 65, 535; using two’s complement, possible values range from −32, 768 to 32, 767. Hence, a processor with 16-bit memory addresses can directly access 64 KB of byte-addressable memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -A 16-bit microprocessor can process data and memory addresses that are represented by 16 bits. bus : indicates the number of wires in the bus. A 16-bit bus transmits 16 bits in parallel.

Detailed explanation-3: -The maximum addressing capacity of a micro processor which uses 16 bit database & 32 bit address base is. 64 K.
