Computer Organization | Memory BankingThe 8086 processor provides 16 data lines but the memory chip will consist of only 8 data lines therefore to occupy all system data lines of processor we require to memory chips.One of them will be connected to lower order Data bus (D0 to D7) and other will be connected to higher order Data bus (D8 to D16). The total memory required in a system will be divided into two parts. All the locations in part one will have even addresses and if it is connected to D0 to D7 of processor. This part is known as Even bank.Similarly all the locations in part two will have odd addresses and it is connected to D8 to D15. This banking scheme allows to have same addresses for two parallel bytes and process can perform 16 bit data transfer. - Study24x7
