In a microcomputer, the microprocessor unit (MPU) is always communicating with one of the following: (1) random-access memory (RAM), which stores programs and data that can be readily changed; (2) read only memory (ROM), which stores programs and data that never change; and (3) external input/output (I/O) devices such as keyboards, video displays, printers, and disk drives. As it is executing a program, the MPU will generate an address code that selects which type of device (RAM, ROM, or I/O) it wants to communicate with. Figure 4-79 shows a typical arrangement where the MPU outputs an eight-bit address code A15through A8. Actually, the MPU outputs a 16-bit address code, but the low-order bits A7through A0are not used in the device selection process. The address code is applied to a logic circuit that uses it to generate the device select signals:Â ![]()

Analyze this circuit and determine the following.
(a)*The range of addresses A15through A8that will activate ![]()
(b) The range of addresses that activate ![]()
(c) The range of addresses that activate ![]()
Express the addresses in binary and hexadecimal. For example, the answer to (a) is A15to A8= 000000002to 111011112= 0016to EF16.
