RAM memory diagram using decoders

[gruba]

Homework Statement

Draw a block diagram of 32kx8 bit RAM memory using decoders DEC 3/8 and memory components 8kx8 bit.

2. The attempt at a solution
First we find the number of memory components:
N=\frac{32kx8}{8kx8}=\frac{2^{18}}{2^{16}}=4.

The number of decoders is
32/8+1=5

There are 4 blocks of memory so the decoder needs to decode 2 address lines to 4 select lines (these are connections between memory elements and four decoders (see attachment)).

Is this diagram correct?

You have made it too complex. Why do you think the number of decoders is 32/8 + 1 = 5 ?

DEC3/8 means 3 binary input lines with 8 outputs. Note that 2^3 = 8. But only one of those 8 outputs will be active at the time.
You will have 4 memory blocks. Which positions will they map to? 0, 1, 2 and 3 ? or somewhere else, maybe 4, 5, 6 or 7 ?
