last month, I discussed the instruction set and the datapath of an xr16
16-bit RISC processor. Now, I’ll explain how the control unit pushes
the datapath’s buttons.
Figure 2 in Part 1 (Circuit Cellar,116) showed the CTRL16 control unit
schematic symbol in context. Inputs include the RDY signal from the
memory controller, the next instruction word INSN15:0 from memory, and
the zero, negative, carry, and overflow outputs from the datapath.
The control unit outputs manage the datapath. These outputs include
pipeline control clock enables,register and operand selectors, ALU
controls, and result multiplexer output enables. Before designing the
control circuitry, first consider how the pipeline behaves in both good
and bad times.
