A memory unit stores 2^16 bytes in 32-bit words. How many address bits are necessary in order to retrieve a single word from this memory unit?

Description : A memory unit stores 2^16 bytes in 32-bit words. How many address bits are necessary in order to retrieve a single word from this memory unit?

Last Answer : Each word is 4 bytes, which occupies 4 consecutive addresses at 16 bits each. The first 14 bits of these addresses will be the same, differing only in the two least significant bits. You only need to specify the first 14 bits, because there are only 2^14 words occupying those 2^16 bytes.
