A decoder is a logic circuit that takes a binary input and activates only one of multiple outputs. It determines which number is represented by the inputs and activates the single output corresponding to that number. There are various types of decoders that can provide active-high or active-low outputs. Different types of memory include RAM, ROM, and hybrid memories. RAM is volatile and loses its data when power is removed, while ROM maintains its data permanently. Specific ROM types include PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory, which differ in how they are programmed and erased.

- 2. DECODER 2 •A decoder is a logic circuit that accepts a set of inputs that represents a binary number and activates only the output that corresponds to the input number. •In other words, a decoder circuit looks at its inputs, determines which binary number is present there, and activates the one output that corresponds to that number ; all other outputs remain inactive. •In its general form, a decoder has N input lines to handle N bits and form one to 2 N output lines to indicate the presence of one or more N-bit combinations.
- 3. General decoder diagram 3 There are 2N possible input combinations, from A0 to AN1. For each of these input combinations only one of the M outputs will be active HIGH (1), all the other outputs are LOW (0).

- 6. 6 •This decoder can be referred to in several ways. It can be called a 3-line-to- 8-line decoder, because it has three input lines and eight output lines. •It could also be called a binary-octal decoder or converters because it takes a three bit binary input code and activates the one of the eight outputs corresponding to that code. It is also referred to as a 1-of-8 decoder, because only 1 of the 8 outputs is activated at one time.

- 9. Classification Of Memory 1. RAM a) SRAM b) DRAM 2. ROM a) PROM b) EPROM c) EEPROM d) NVRAM e) Flash Memory
- 10. 1. RAM • The RAM family includes two important memory devices: Static RAM (SRAM) and Dynamic RAM (DRAM). The primary difference between them is the lifetime of the data they store. • SRAM retains its contents as long as electrical power is applied to the chip. If the power is turned off or lost temporarily, its contents will be lost forever. • DRAM, on the other hand, has an extremely short data lifetime-typically about four milliseconds. This is true even when power is applied constantly. DRAM controller is used to refresh the data before it expires, the contents of memory can be kept alive for as long as they are needed. So DRAM is as useful as SRAM after all.
- 11. 2. ROM • Memories in the ROM family are distinguished by the methods used to write new data to them (usually called programming), and the number of times they can be rewritten. • This classification reflects the evolution of ROM devices from hardwired to programmable to erasable-and- programmable. • A common feature is their ability to retain data and programs forever, even during a power failure. • The contents of the ROM had to be specified before chip production, so the actual data could be used to arrange the transistors inside the chip.
- 12. • One step up from the masked ROM is the PROM (programmable ROM), which is purchased in an unprogrammed state. If you were to look at the contents of an unprogrammed PROM, the data is made up entirely of 1's. • The process of writing your data to the PROM involves a special piece of equipment called a device programmer. The device programmer writes data to the device one word at a time by applying an electrical charge to the input pins of the chip. • Once a PROM has been programmed in this way, its contents can never be changed. If the code or data stored in the PROM must be changed, the current device must be discarded. As a result, PROMs are also known as one-time programmable (OTP) devices. a) PROM
- 13. • An EPROM (erasable-and-programmable ROM) is programmed in exactly the same manner as a PROM. However, EPROMs can be erased and reprogrammed repeatedly. • To erase an EPROM, you simply expose the device to a strong source of ultraviolet light. (A window in the top of the device allows the light to reach the silicon.) By doing this, you essentially reset the entire chip to its initial-unprogrammed-state. • Though more expensive than PROMs, their ability to be reprogrammed makes EPROMs an essential part of the software development and testing process. b) EPROM
- 14. c) EEPROMS •EEPROMS are electrically-erasable-and-programmable. Internally, they are similar to EPROMs, but the erase operation is accomplished electrically, rather than by exposure to ultraviolet light. •Any byte within an EEPROM may be erased and rewritten. Once written, the new data will remain in the device forever-or at least until it is electrically erased. •The primary tradeoff for this improved functionality is higher cost, though write cycles are also significantly longer than writes to a RAM. So you wouldn't want to use an EEPROM for your main system memory.
- 15. d) Flash memory • Flash memory combines the best features of the memory devices described thus far. Flash memory devices are high density, low cost, nonvolatile, fast (to read, but not to write), and electrically reprogrammable. • These advantages are overwhelming and, as a direct result, the use of flash memory has increased dramatically in embedded systems. From a software viewpoint, flash and EEPROM technologies are very similar. • The major difference is that flash devices can only be erased one sector at a time, not byte-by-byte. Typical sector sizes are in the range 256 bytes to 16KB. Despite this disadvantage, flash is much more popular than EEPROM and is rapidly displacing many of the ROM devices as well.
- 16. e) NVRAM • The third member of the hybrid memory class is NVRAM (non-volatile RAM). Nonvolatility is also a characteristic of the ROM and hybrid memories discussed previously. • However, an NVRAM is physically very different from those devices. An NVRAM is usually just an SRAM with a battery backup. When the power is turned on, the NVRAM operates just like any other SRAM. • When the power is turned off, the NVRAM draws just enough power from the battery to retain its data. NVRAM is fairly common in embedded systems. • However, it is expensive-even more expensive than SRAM, because of the battery-so its applications are typically limited to the storage of a few hundred bytes of system-critical information that can't be stored in any better way.
