Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the primary function of the micro-program counter (MPC)?

💡 Hint: Think about what the MPC is responsible for in instruction execution.

Question 2

Easy

How does a multiplexer (MUX) operate in the control unit?

💡 Hint: Consider situations where you have multiple choices in a device.

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does the MPC do when instructed to jump to address '101'?

  • Load 101
  • Increment to 102
  • Do nothing

💡 Hint: Remember how loading works in condition checks.

Question 2

True or False: The MPC automatically increments if no conditions are met.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when conditions for decision-making are absent.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the MPC starts at address '002', and the control signal indicates to load '005', what will the MPC do, and how do the control signals influence this decision?

💡 Hint: Consider the actions dictated by control signals.

Question 2

Design a simple pseudo-code to demonstrate how an MPC would operate through a loop until a certain condition (like a counter reaching 5) is met, and illustrate how signals change through each iteration.

💡 Hint: Think about an analogy where a driver loops until a destination is reached.
