This set of MCQs helps students to learn about Basic Peripherals and their Interfacing which means various components or devices those are connected to CPU. Actually these are input output devices. Thus, it sometimes calls as I/O devices and an interface which is a concept that refers to a point of interaction between objects or components and is applicable at the level of both hardware and software.
If at a time Ao and BHE(active low) both are zero then, the chip(s) selected will be
The input and output operations are respectively similar to the operations,
The operation, IOWR (active low) performs
The latch or IC 74LS373 acts as

One dimensional
Two dimensional
Three dimensional
None
If a location is selected, then all the bits in it are accessible using a group of conductors called,
Control bus
Address bus
Data bus
Either address bus or data bus
To address a memory location out of N memory locations, the number of address lines required is,
log N (to the base 2)
log N (to the base 10)
