Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What value does the Instruction Cycle Code (ICC) take during the fetch phase?

  • 00

  • 10
  • 11

💡 Hint: Recall the corresponding ICC values for each phase.

Question 2

True or False: The Program Counter (PC) is not involved in the process of interrupt handling.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a hypothetical CPU that uses a three-bit Instruction Cycle Code and describe its phases.

💡 Hint: Think about how adding more bits to the ICC might help manage more phases.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where an interrupt occurs while the CPU is in the decode phase; how would your system manage the state?

💡 Hint: What steps need to happen to ensure that data can be retrieved?
