Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario in which a CPU mismanages timing for concurrent external micro-operations. What effects could arise, and how might these be mitigated in design?
💡 Hint: Think of how logical timing can aid or disrupt data transfers.
Draft a sequence of external micro-operations for a hypothetical CPU instruction that involves reading from memory and writing to an I/O device. Detail each step clearly.
💡 Hint: Consider the necessary control signals needed at each stage.
