'''Memory mapping''' is a process whereby some item of digital hardware is connected to a [[central processing unit|processor]]'s address bus and data bus in such a way that it can be accessed (for reading and/or writing) exactly as if it were a memory cell.

Line 10:

Memory mapping also hogs the address and data buses if the mapped device is slower than true memory (as for instance, a [[Successive Approximation ADC|successive approximation A-to-D converter]] might well be).
