Memory Depth Expansion with Chip Select

MediumLogic CircuitBuild

Microprocessors expand addressable memory by combining multiple smaller RAM chips into a single continuous address space. The high-order address bits must route the global chip select signal to exactly one target bank to prevent bus collisions.

Route the global cs signal to either cs_0 or cs_1 based on the value of addr_msb. When cs is low, all memory banks must remain unselected.

| cs | addr_msb | cs_0 | cs_1 | |------|------------|--------|--------| | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |

Constraints

  • Implement using only basic logic gates.
  • Do not use multiplexer components.
  • Use strictly combinational logic.
