What we have learnt

  • Different types of CPU instructions include load, store, and arithmetic operations.
  • Memory operations involve a series of control signals that dictate the interaction between the CPU and memory.
  • I/O operations are complex and require careful management of synchronization to ensure accurate data transfer.

Key Concepts

-- Memory Address Register (MAR)
A register that holds the address of the memory location from which data is to be read or to which data is to be written.
-- Memory Function Complete (MFC)
A control signal indicating that a memory operation has been completed and the data is ready for use.
-- Accumulator
A specific register in a CPU where intermediate arithmetic and logic results are stored.
-- Control Signals
Signals used to manage the execution of operations within the CPU, especially in coordinating memory read/write operations.
