Question 1.
What is the function of the control bus?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what communicates signals within a computer system.
Question 2.
What do registers do?
Show hintHide hint
Consider them as short-term storage within the CPU.
3Question 3.
What does the control bus do?
- Transmits data between CPU and memory
- Sends control signals only
- Holds data for operations
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what the control bus is specifically responsible for.
4Question 4.
True or False: Registers can simultaneously send output to the internal bus.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how communication works in a group.
Question 5.
Given the memory configuration and control signals, draft a sequential flow diagram illustrating data loading into R1 from memory address 32.
Show hintHide hint
Envision each step clearly to form a clear flow.
Question 6.
Evaluate a scenario where multiple registers attempt to communicate over the control bus simultaneously. What safeguards should be installed?
Show hintHide hint
Think of how traffic signals prioritize one lane over another.
