[SOLVED] how does the 8008 address ram with only 18 pins?

[the666]

maybe im missing something here but the z80, say, has 40 pins with a 16 pins used for addressing. but the 8008 doesnt have anything like this.

If you look at this diagram it is easy to see. The memory is addressed on the 8 bit Data Bus.

Google is a quite wonderful tool to assist with homework....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8008

The below article describes limits of a 16 bit memory addressing bus, naturally, a 14 bit address limit allows a lesser count... (16,383)

type in 14 each 1s in the binary value, vs. 15, and 16, etc....
