I got this question during a job interview.

My question is from Random Access Memory topic in chapter Memory Devices of Digital Circuits

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) The time taken to read a stored word after applying the address bits

Best explanation: The access time is the time taken to read a stored word after applying the address bits in a MOS EPROM. It is the time required to fetch data from the memory.
