Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To create an 8K × 16 module from 1K × 4 chips, you need to increase both the depth (from 1K to 8K) and the width (from 4 bits to 16 bits). To increase the depth 8 times, you need 8 chips in parallel. To increase the width 4 times (from 4 bits to 16 bits), you need 4 sets of these parallel chips. Therefore, 8 chips for depth times 4 for width equals 32 chips in total.
