Which of the following is a non-volatile memory type commonly used in embedded systems?
A SRAM
B DRAM
C Flash memory
D SDRAM
Correct Answer:  C. Flash memory
EXPLANATION

Flash memory is non-volatile (retains data without power), widely used in embedded systems, SSDs, and microcontrollers as program storage.

Test
In a 3-bit binary counter, how many clock pulses are needed to complete one full cycle?
A 3
B 6
C 8
D 16
Correct Answer:  C. 8
EXPLANATION

A 3-bit counter can count from 000 to 111 (0 to 7 in decimal), requiring 2^3 = 8 clock pulses to complete one full cycle.

Test
A multiplexer with 16 inputs requires how many select lines?
A 2
B 3
C 4
D 8
Correct Answer:  C. 4
EXPLANATION

For 2^n inputs, n select lines are needed. For 16 = 2^4 inputs, 4 select lines are required.

Test
In a JK flip-flop, what happens when both J and K inputs are 1?
A Output remains unchanged
B Output toggles on clock pulse
C Output becomes 0
D Output becomes 1
Correct Answer:  B. Output toggles on clock pulse
EXPLANATION

When J=1 and K=1, the JK flip-flop enters toggle mode, changing its state with each clock pulse.

Test
In a 8×4 RAM configuration, what do 8 and 4 respectively represent?
A 8 data lines and 4 address lines
B 8 address locations and 4 bits per location
C 8 bits and 4 bytes of storage
D 8 control signals and 4 chip selects
Correct Answer:  B. 8 address locations and 4 bits per location
EXPLANATION

In RAM notation m×n, m represents number of addressable locations and n represents bits per location.

Test
What is the output of a full adder when A=1, B=1, and Cin=1?
A Sum=1, Cout=0
B Sum=0, Cout=1
C Sum=1, Cout=1
D Sum=0, Cout=0
Correct Answer:  C. Sum=1, Cout=1
EXPLANATION

Full adder: A+B+Cin = 1+1+1 = 3 (binary 11). Sum = 1, Carry out = 1.

Test
What is the truth table output for a D flip-flop when CLK = 1 and D = 1?
A Q = 0, Q' = 1
B Q = 1, Q' = 0
C Q = D, Q' = D'
D Q and Q' remain unchanged
Correct Answer:  B. Q = 1, Q' = 0
EXPLANATION

In a D flip-flop, Q takes the value of D on the clock edge. When D = 1, Q becomes 1 and Q' becomes 0.

Test
Which semiconductor memory loses its data when power is switched off?
A EEPROM
B Flash memory
C DRAM
D ROM
Correct Answer:  C. DRAM
EXPLANATION

DRAM (Dynamic RAM) is volatile and requires periodic refreshing. Data is lost without power, unlike non-volatile memories like ROM, EEPROM, and Flash.

Test
What is the primary purpose of using parity bits in error detection?
A To increase data transmission speed
B To detect single bit errors in data
C To encrypt sensitive information
D To reduce memory requirements
Correct Answer:  B. To detect single bit errors in data
EXPLANATION

Parity bits are used for error detection by tracking whether the number of 1s in data is even or odd.

Test
In a Multiplexer (MUX), how many select lines are required for an 8:1 MUX?
A 2 lines
B 3 lines
C 4 lines
D 8 lines
Correct Answer:  B. 3 lines
EXPLANATION

For 2^n inputs, n select lines are needed. For 8 inputs, log₂(8) = 3 select lines.
