Memory Protection


  • Must provide memory protection atleast for the interrupt vector and the interrupt services routines.
  • In order to have memory protection,add two registers that determines about the range of legal addresses a program may access:
    • Base Register-holds the smallest legal physical memory address.
    • Limit Register-contains the size of the range.
  • Memory outside the defined range is protected.
