Crash Course Computer Science #6 - Registers and RAM

What does RAM stand for?

• Random Access Memory

• Ready Altered Memory

• Revolving Application Memory

• Random Application Memory

All of the logic circuits discussed so far go in ______.

• one direction - forward

• one direction - backward

• two directions - both forward and backward

• a loop that circles itself

An OR gate that gets an input of 1 and 0 will eventually...

• have an output of 2 that continues to grow

• have an output of 1 forever, getting stuck

• revert back to 0 until a different input is given

• loop on 0 forever

Using an AND gate with a 0 input, the circuit output will always be...

(a)  

If the AND-OR Latch has both the "set" and "reset" on 0, the circuit will...

• output a 0, showing a negative

• output a 1, showing a positive

• output whatever was last put in it

• loop incorrectly, becoming broken

The action of putting data into memory is called ​ (a)   , whereas getting the data out is called ​ (b)   .

• writing
• reading

To "open" a gated latch, you need to change...

• the "data in" to 1

• the "data in" to 0

• the "write enable" to 1

• the "write enable" to 0

A group of latches operating together is called a ​ (a)   , which holds a single number, and the number of bits in a register is called its ​ (b)   .

• register
• width

How many wires would you need for 256 bits?

(a)  

A matrix grid of latches works by... (pick 2)

• only allowing one latch to work at a time

• allowing 16 rows of latches to do computation

• activating a corresponding row and column for one latch

• organizing the 256 latches so they can all be turned on at the same time
