Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a hypothetical microprogram for a task that involves adding two numbers, detailing the required microinstructions and expected control signals.
💡 Hint: Think about the steps needed for performing addition and how each instruction leads to the next.
Question 2
Analyze the consequences of a jump instruction in a microprogram. What changes in control flow, and how do you handle it with a micro-program counter?
💡 Hint: Consider how branching operates in programming languages and compare it to how flags control flow in microprogramming.
