Q: You have 8 bit ADC clocking data out every  1mS.  Design a system that  will sort the output data and  keep a statistics   how often each binary number appears at the output of ADC.

 The diagram showes a basic idea of a possible solution: using RAM to store a statistic data.
The digital number that is to be stored is considered as a RAM address.
Once digital data at the output of ADC becomes available, memory controller generates RD signal,
and the contence of the memory cell addressed by ADC output latches into D register.
"1" in the D-register enables WR signal to the next memory cell. To calculate how many times a certain number appeared at the output of ADC it necessary to summarize the contence of all memory cells.
