Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a detailed flowchart showing the data transfer process from MDR to IR, including all control signals and the operations involved.

💡 Hint: Consider the order of operations and the specific signals needed at each part of the process.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a case where the data from the MDR is corrupted. Discuss how this impacts instruction execution in the IR.

💡 Hint: Think about the ripple effects of incorrect data on the entire execution cycle.
