Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does the Program Counter (PC) do?

  • Fetches instructions
  • Keeps track of the next instruction address
  • Stores data temporarily

💡 Hint: It tells you where the CPU needs to go next.

Question 2

True or False: The Instruction Register (IR) holds the next instruction to be executed.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the role of the IR in the execution process.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an instruction sequence for the CPU that involves both loading data and performing an addition. Illustrate how you would draw the control signals for each step.

💡 Hint: Think about what signals you'd need to ensure each operation executes smoothly.

Question 2

How would additional complexity, like a conditional instruction, impact the control signals compared to a simple load operation? Provide specific examples.

💡 Hint: Consider the decision-making processes that influence control signal pathways.
