INTRODUCTION
• Every different processor type has its own design (different
registers, buses, microoperations, machine instructions, etc)
• Modern processor is a very complex device
• It contains
– Many registers
– Multiple arithmetic units, for both integer and floating point calculations
– The ability to pipeline several consecutive instructions to speed execution
– Etc.
• However, to understand how processors work, we will start with
a simplified processor model
• This is similar to what real processors were like ~25 years ago
• M. Morris Mano introduces a simple processor model he calls
the Basic Computer
• We will use this to introduce processor organization and the
relationship of the RTL model to the higher level computer
processor

THE BASIC COMPUTER

• The Basic Computer has two components, a processor and

memory
• The memory has 4096 words in it
– 4096 = 212, so it takes 12 bits to select a word in memory
• Each word is 16 bits long

INSTRUCTION
S
• Program
– A sequence of (machine) instructions
• (Machine) Instruction
– A group of bits that tell the computer to perform a specific operation
(a sequence of micro-operation)
• The instructions of a program, along with any needed data
are stored in memory
• The CPU reads the next instruction from memory
• It is placed in an Instruction Register (IR)
• Control circuitry in control unit then translates the
instruction into the sequence of microoperations
necessary to implement it

Basic Computer Organization & Design 5 Instruction codes

INSTRUCTION
FORMAT
• A computer instruction is often divided into two parts
– An opcode (Operation Code) that specifies the operation for that
instruction
– An address that specifies the registers and/or locations in memory to
use for that operation
• In the Basic Computer, since the memory contains 4096 (=
212) words, we needs 12 bit to specify which memory
address this instruction will use
• In the Basic Computer, bit 15 of the instruction specifies
the addressing mode (0: direct addressing, 1: indirect
addressing)
• Since the memory words, and hence the instructions, are
16 bits long, that leaves 3 bits for the instruction’s opcode

ADDRESSING
• MODES
The address field of an instruction can represent either
– Direct address: the address in memory of the data to use (the address of the
operand), or
– Indirect address: the address in memory of the address in memory of the data to
use

• Effective Address (EA)

– The address, that can be directly used without modification to access an operand
for a computation-type instruction, or as the target address for a branch-type
instruction

Direct address

Occurs When the Operand Part Contains the Address of

Needed Data.

1. Address part of IR is placed on the bus and loaded

back into the AR

2. Address is selected in memory and its Data placed

on the bus to be loaded into the Data Register to be
used for requested instructions

PROCESSOR
REGISTERS
• A processor has many registers to hold instructions,
addresses, data, etc
• The processor has a register, the Program Counter (PC) that
holds the memory address of the next instruction to get
– Since the memory in the Basic Computer only has 4096 locations, the PC
only needs 12 bits
• In a direct or indirect addressing, the processor needs to keep
track of what locations in memory it is addressing: The
Address Register (AR) is used for this
– The AR is a 12 bit register in the Basic Computer
• When an operand is found, using either direct or indirect
addressing, it is placed in the Data Register (DR). The
processor then uses this value as data for its operation
• The Basic Computer has a single general purpose register –
the Accumulator (AC)

Computer Organization Computer Architecture

Basic Computer Organization & Design 14 Instruction codes

PROCESSOR
REGISTERS
• The significance of a general purpose register is that it can be
referred to in instructions
– e.g. load AC with the contents of a specific memory location; store the
contents of AC into a specified memory location
• Often a processor will need a scratch register to store
intermediate results or other temporary data; in the Basic
Computer this is the Temporary Register (TR)
• The Basic Computer uses a very simple model of input/output
(I/O) operations
– Input devices are considered to send 8 bits of character data to the processor
– The processor can send 8 bits of character data to output devices
• The Input Register (INPR) holds an 8 bit character gotten from an
input device
• The Output Register (OUTR) holds an 8 bit character to be send
to an output device

• Either one of the registers will have its load signal

activated, or the memory will have its read signal activated
– Will determine where the data from the bus gets loaded
• The 12-bit registers, AR and PC, have 0’s loaded onto the
bus in the high order 4 bit positions
• When the 8-bit register OUTR is loaded from the bus, the
data comes from the low order 8 bits on the bus

CONTROL
UNIT
• Control unit (CU) of a processor translates from machine
instructions to the control signals for the microoperations
that implement them

• Control units are implemented in one of two ways

• Hardwired Control
– CU is made up of sequential and combinational circuits to generate the
control signals
• Microprogrammed Control
– A control memory on the processor contains microprograms that
activate the necessary control signals

• We will consider a hardwired implementation of the control

unit for the Basic Computer

INSTRUCTION CYCLE

• In Basic Computer, a machine instruction is executed in the

following cycle:
1. Fetch an instruction from memory
2. Decode the instruction
3. Read the effective address from memory if the instruction has an
indirect address
4. Execute the instruction

• After an instruction is executed, the cycle starts again at

step 1, for the next instruction

• Note: Every different processor has its own (different)

instruction cycle

INTERRUPT INITIATED INPUT/OUTPUT

- Open communication only when some data has to be passed --> interrupt.

- The I/O interface, instead of the CPU, monitors the I/O device.

- When the interface founds that the I/O device is ready for data transfer,
it generates an interrupt request to the CPU

- Upon detecting an interrupt, the CPU stops momentarily the task

it is doing, branches to the service routine to process the data
transfer, and then returns to the task it was performing.

* IEN (Interrupt-enable flip-flop)

- can be set and cleared by instructions

- when cleared, the computer cannot be interrupted

FURTHER QUESTIONS ON INTERRUPT

How can the CPU recognize the device

requesting an interrupt ?

Since different devices are likely to require

different interrupt service routines, how can
the CPU obtain the starting address of the
appropriate routine in each case ?

Should any device be allowed to interrupt the

CPU while another interrupt is being serviced ?

How can the situation be handled when two or

more interrupt requests occur simultaneously ?
