To evaluate the maximum number of pages required when a system supports a 16-bit address line and a 1K (1024 Bytes) page size, we can break it down as follows:
16-bit Address Line:
Page Size:
Now, calculate the maximum number of pages needed:
Total Addressable Locations= 216= 65536 locations.
Page Size = 1024 Bytes.
To find the total number of pages, divide the total addressable locations by the page size:
Total Pages= Total Addressable Locations/Page Size= 65536/1024= 64 pages.
Hence, in a system with a 16-bit address line and a 1K page size, the maximum number of pages required is 64.
