Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What does the MFC signal indicate?
- The memory operation is complete
- The CPU is idle
- The instruction is being executed
💡 Hint: Think of MFC as a 'green light' for memory operations.
Question 2
True or False: Conditional jumps occur regardless of flag status.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Recall how flags can enable or disable certain operations.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
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.
Question 2
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.
