Question 2.
How does a micro-programmed control unit differ from a hardwired control unit?
Show hintHide hint
Consider flexibility versus speed.
3Question 3.
What does a micro-programmed control unit use to generate control signals?
- A set of fixed circuits
- Programs stored in memory
- Random logic gates
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what enables changes and flexibility.
