32

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

• Is 2MB SRAM enough memory?

– 2MB of SRAM is enough memory to store almost 150,000 barcodes, more than enough for most small to medium retail operations

Calculate your memory requirement

1 digit = 1 byte 13 digit barcode = 13 bytes Add a space to separate each barcode = 14 bytes per barcode 1MB = 1024K bytes Or 1024x1024 1,048,576 bytes 1,048,576 bytes / 14 bytes x 2MB = 149,797 barcodes per 2MB SRAM
