Question 1

What is the role of the Micro-Program Counter (MPC)?

  • Tracks current instruction address
  • Stores control signals
  • Manages memory allocation

💡 Hint: Consider what is being tracked by the MPC.

Question 2

True or False: Unconditional branches depend on the evaluation of conditions to determine the next instruction address.
