ASSIGNMENT#2 (FALL 2021)

INSTRUCTIONS: (Question 23-27) Consider a simple hypothetical machine that includes a single data
register, called an accumulator (AC), 16-bits long instructions and data. Memory is organized using 16-bit
words. The instruction format provides 4 bits for the opcode and 4096 (4K) words of memory can be
directly addressed.
Following Figure is showing the relevant portions of memory:
400 2900 PC 400
401 0901 AC
402 5005 IR
403 4006 MAR
404 6902 MBR
405 9500 I/OAR
406 5006 I/OMR
407 2902
…... I/O Devices
500 3901 …
…. 005 867E
900 80EF 006 7AEE
901 90FF 007 FFFF
902 FFFF ….

PC = Program counter
IR = Instruction register
MAR = Memory address register
MBR = Memory buffer register
I/O AR = Input/output address register
I/O BR = Input/output buffer register
Instruction Format:
16-bit instructions
Bits 0-3 is Operation Code (Op Code)
Bits 4-15 is Address

Operation Codes (Op Code)

0000 Add to AC from memory AC = AC + [Address]
0010 Load AC from memory AC = [Address]
0011 Store AC to memory [Address] = AC
0100 Load AC from I/O AC = [Device_Address]
0101 Load I/O from AC [Device Address] = AC
0110 Subtract memory from AC AC = AC – [Address]
1001 Jump to the address PC = Address

Perform two steps individually for each instruction:

Instruction Fetch
Instruction Execute

After execution of arithmetic operations, set the values of the flags as well after the execution step.
