What is the highest address possible if 16 bits are used for each address? A. 65536 B. 12868 C. 16556 D. 643897 E. None of the above
The highest address possible if 16 bits are used for each address 65536 . For example, with a 16-bit address register, the address bus has 16 bits to address RAM and ROM. With 16 bits, a maximum of 216 = 65,536 words can be addressed. There are usually two other registers, the flag and stack pointer registers.
