How Does a Memory Bank's Bit Width Relate to the Memory Bus?

💡 The Answer

• A memory bank is a logical unit of storage that is hardware-dependent.
• In SDRAM, banks are spread across several chips.
• The number of bits in a column or a row per bank per chip equals the memory bus width.
• This equality ensures data transfer matches the bus capacity.
• The bus width determines how many bits are transferred at once.
