Unit-5 Microprogrammed Control

The document discusses microprogrammed control in computers, highlighting the use of separate main and control memory. It explains that control memory contains a fixed microprogram with microinstructions for executing internal control signals and address sequencing. Additionally, it outlines the requirements for address sequencing and the format of microinstruction codes.

Microprogrammed Control
Control Memory
Microprogrammed Control Organization
Control Memory
➢ A computer that employs a microprogrammed control unit will have two separate
memories: a main memory and a control memory.
➢ The control memory holds a fixed microprogram that can not be altered by the
occasional user.
➢ The microprogram consists of microinstructions that specify various internal control
signals for execution of register microoperation.
➢ Microinstructions generates the microoperations to fetch instruction from main
memory; to evaluate the effective address, to execute the operation specified by the
instruction, and to return control to the fetch of next instruction.
Address Sequencing
Address Sequencing
➢ Microinstructions are stored in control memory in groups, with each group specifying a
routine.
➢ The transformation from the instruction code bits to an address in control memory
where the routine is located is referred to as a mapping process.
➢ The address sequencing capabilities required in a control memory are:
○ Incrementing of the control address register.
○ Unconditional branch or conditional branch, depending on status bit conditions.
○ A mapping process from the bits of the instruction to an address for control
memory.
○ A facility for subroutine call and return.
Microinstruction Code Format

● F1, F2, F3: Microoperation fields


● CD: Condition for branching
● BR: Branch field
● AD: Address field
