To the left in the diagram, you find the micro memory containing up to 64 different addresses each with 15 bits (numbered 1 to 15) that we call the micro operations or MOPs for short. The MOPs control every aspect of the computer. To the left, you also find the micro PC, which is a counter register with clear. The width of the micro PC is 6 bits

for a total of 64 different values. The micro PC is controlled by MOPs number 1 and 2. When MOP number 1 has the value 1, the micro PC will be cleared after the next clock pulse. Similarly, MOP number 2 will cause a new value to be loaded into the micro PC from the instruction decoder. The micro PC can also be cleared manually from the reset button. Since the The final item to the left of the data bus is the instruction decoder. Its job is to translate instruction codes to addresses in the micro memory where the micro program for the instruction starts. The input to the instruction decoder is the low 5 bits of the data bus, and the output is 6 bits wide. The lower part of the diagram is the arithmetic unit with two general-purpose registers, R0 and R1. Whether R0 is loaded from the data bus is determined by MOP number 11. Whether R1 is loaded from the output of the ALU is controlled by MOP number 12. The ALU uses MOPS 13 to 15 to control what operation is to be performed. The inputs (8 bits wide) are taken from the registers R0 and R1 and the output (also 8 bits wide for now) goes to the input of R1. The output of R1 can be connected to the data bus by MOP number 8 which is connected to a bus driver (BD) which in effect closes the connection from the output of R1 to the data bus. input is controlled by MOP number 4. When MOP number 4 has the value 1, the memory is written. The address of the memory is taken from the address...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
