Introduction to Micro Programmed Control Unit

A micro programmed control unit is a control


unit that uses a set of microinstructions to
control the execution of instructions in a
computer.

It is a way of implementing control logic in a


computer system using microcode.

Microcode is a low-level code that controls the


operation of the control unit.
Components of a Micro Programmed Control Unit

The main components of a micro programmed


programmed control unit include a control
control memory, a sequencing logic unit, and a
and a microinstruction register.

The control memory stores microinstructions


that control the execution of instructions.

The sequencing logic unit generates the


address for the next microinstruction to be
executed.
Advantages of Micro Programmed Control Unit

Flexibility: Micro programmed control units are


more flexible and easier to modify compared to
hardwired control units.

Simplified Design: Using microcode simplifies


the design of the control unit and makes it
easier to implement complex instruction sets.

Improved Debugging: Microcode allows for


easier debugging and testing of the control
unit.
Operation of a Micro Programmed Control Unit

When an instruction is fetched from memory,


the control unit retrieves the corresponding
microinstruction from the control memory.

The microinstruction is decoded, and the


necessary control signals are generated to
execute the instruction.

The control unit then moves to the next


microinstruction based on the sequencing
logic.
Differences Between Micro Programmed and Hardwired
Control Units
In a hardwired control unit, the control logic is
implemented using combinational logic circuits,
while in a micro programmed control unit, the
control logic is implemented using microcode.

Micro programmed control units are more


flexible and easier to modify compared to
hardwired control units.

Hardwired control units are generally faster


than micro programmed control units.
Applications of Micro Programmed Control Units

Micro programmed control units are commonly


used in complex instruction set computers
(CISC) to implement complex instruction sets.

They are also used in microcontrollers and


embedded systems where flexibility and ease
of modification are important.

Virtual machines and emulators also make use


of micro programmed control units to interpret
and execute instructions.
Challenges of Micro Programmed Control Units
Overhead: Micro programmed control units
can introduce additional overhead due to the
need to fetch and decode microinstructions.

Performance: Micro programmed control units


may not be as fast as hardwired control units,
especially for simple instruction sets.

Complexity: Designing and implementing a


micro programmed control unit can be more
complex compared to a hardwired control unit.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a micro programmed control unit
offers flexibility, ease of modification, and
simplified design in implementing control logic
in a computer system.

While there are challenges such as overhead


and complexity, the advantages of using a
micro programmed control unit outweigh the
drawbacks in many cases.

Overall, micro programmed control units play a


crucial role in modern computer systems by
providing a flexible and efficient way to control
the execution of instructions.
