Question 1.
What does the program counter (PC) do in instruction execution?
Show hintHide hint
Think about where the CPU finds the next instruction.
Question 2.
What is a zero flag?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how flags impact decision-making in instruction flows.
3Question 3.
What does the Memory Function Control (MFC) signal indicate?
- The start of instruction execution
- Completion of a memory operation
- Error in memory access
Show hintHide hint
Remember how memory interacts with the CPU during operations.
4Question 4.
Is the zero flag crucial for determining instruction flow?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about scenarios where branches in code depend on the outcome of previous calculations.
Question 5.
Outline the state transition diagram for an FSM handling both 'ADD' and 'JUMP' operations in CPU architecture.
Show hintHide hint
Analyze each operation's flow, considering the role of condition flags and control signals.
Question 6.
Evaluate the impact of reducing the number of FSMs used in control units, providing both benefits and potential issues.
Show hintHide hint
Consider trade-offs between performance speed and hardware requirements.
