Memory, Registers and Aspects of System Timing

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about memory, registers and aspects of system timing, which is used to handle the address transferred to the memory unit, and this can be handled either using a bus approach (which we have used in this architecture) or direct input declaration for the memory.
