Final answer:

The PIC with 4kWord of 14-bit Flash memory has a total of 57344 bits, which is equivalent to 7168 bytes of memory storage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total number of bits in a PIC with 4kWord of 14-bit Flash memory, we multiply the number of words by the number of bits per word. In this case, we have:

  • 4kWords = 4 * 1024 Words = 4096 Words
  • 14 bits per Word

The total number of bits is therefore:

  • 4096 Words * 14 bits/Word = 57344 bits

To convert this to bytes, we divide by 8, since there are 8 bits in a byte:

  • 57344 bits / 8 bits/byte = 7168 bytes

The PIC has 57344 bits or 7168 bytes of Flash memory.
