Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Devise a set of control signals needed for a CPU to execute both an ADD and a conditional jump operation together, detailing how you would ensure synchronization.
💡 Hint: Consider how flags play into this and whether checks are required.
Explore the implications of having a faulty signal in an FSM controlling conditional jumps. What might happen if the flag indicating a ‘zero’ condition fails to register?
💡 Hint: Reflect on how critical flags are for determining control flows.
