Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
How would the execution process change if the CPU did not have a dedicated Memory Address Register (MAR)? Explain the implications.
💡 Hint: Consider how the CPU currently quickly accesses addresses and what impact misaddressing could have.
Question 2
Given an instruction cycle, simulate the increment of the PC and the flow of data from the MDR to the IR. Describe the signals that guide this process.
💡 Hint: Trace the exact steps from the start to the end of the instruction cycle and keep an eye on the signals.
