    • 2. The device shown in the given figure is checked with a logic probe and the output is HIGH.


    • Options
    • A. The device is working properly.
    • B. For the input conditions shown the output should be LOW; the input is shorted to ground.
    • C. For the input conditions shown the output should be neither HIGH nor LOW; the device is shorted to .
    • D. The device is probably alright; the problem is most likely caused by the stage connected to the output of the device.

    • 3. The check sum method of testing a ROM:

    • Options
    • A. indicates if the data in more than one memory location is incorrect.
    • B. provides a means for locating and correcting data errors in specific memory locations.
    • C. allows data errors to be pinpointed to a specific memory location.
    • D. simply indicates that the contents of the ROM are incorrect.

    • Options
    • A. user-programmable, one-time programmable

    • 7. The RAM circuit given below is suspected of being bad. A check with a logic probe shows pulse activity on all of the address lines and data inputs. The / line and inputs are forced HIGH and the data output lines are checked with the logic probe. Q0, Q2, and Q3 show a dim indication on the logic probe; Q1 indicates a HIGH level on the logic probe. What, if anything, is wrong with the circuit?


    • Options
    • A. The Q0, Q2, and Q3 output lines are open; the chip is defective.
    • B. The Q1 line appears to be shorted to Vcc; replace the chip.
    • C. The outputs should be active only when the / line is held LOW, so the circuit is behaving normally considering the fact that the line is HIGH.
    • D. The EN input should be forced HIGH and the outputs rechecked; if they are still giving the same indications as before, then the three outputs are definitely open and the IC will have to be replaced.

    • 8. What is a major disadvantage of RAM?

    • Options

    • B. Its matrix size is too big.
    • C. It is volatile.
    • D. High power consumption

    • 9. What does the term "random access" mean in terms of memory?

    • Options
