Basic Concepts in Memory Interfacing
Memory Interfacing means that the Microprocessor is able to read from or/and to write into a given
register of a memory chip. To perform these operations, the microprocessor should be able to
1. Select the Chip.
2. Identify the Registers.
3. Enable the appropriate Buffer to read from or to write into.

Address Decoding
To generate a Unique Pulse (Chip Select/Chip Enable) for a given address so that the Memory
Memory-
Chip can be identified and its whole range of Addresses can be made accessible as per the specified
Hardware.
Memory Map
It is the Range of whole addresses of the Memory through which the memory can be accessed.
