  • Question
  • Describe the timing diagram of a write operation.


  • Options
  • A. First the data is set on the data bus and the address is set, then the write pulse stores the data.
  • B. First the address is set, then the data is set on the data bus, and finally the read pulse stores the data.
  • C. First the write pulse stores the data, then the address is set, and finally the data is set on the data bus.
  • D. First the data is set on the data bus, then the write pulse stores the data, and finally the address is set.

  • Correct Answer
  • First the data is set on the data bus and the address is set, then the write pulse stores the data.
