    The ALU performs computing functions and includes an accumulator, temporary register, arithmetic and logic circuits, and five flags. The accumulator is an 8-bit register that stores results of arithmetic and logic operations. The ALU also includes five flags - sign, zero, auxiliary carry, parity, and carry - that are set or reset according to the result stored in the accumulator. Additional components are register and storage sections that include registers like the stack pointer, program counter, and storage registers B, C, D, E, H, and L, which are used to transfer and store data during program execution.

    ALU Design

    ALU Design
    The ALU perform the computing function of
    microprocessor. It includes the accumulator,
    temporary register, arithmetic & logic circuit &
    and five flags. Result is stored in accumulator &
    flags.
    ALU Design
    Accumulator
    It is an 8-bit register that is part of ALU. This
    register is used to store 8-bit data & in
    performing arithmetic & logic operation. The
    result of operation is stored in accumulator.
    ALU Design
    Flags
    Flags are programmable. They can be used to store and transfer the data
    from the registers by using instruction. The ALU includes five flip-flops
    that are set and reset according to data condition in accumulator and
    other registers.
    S (Sign) flag
     After the execution of an arithmetic operation, if bit D7 of the result is 1,
    the sign flag is set. It is used to signed number. In a given byte, if D7 is 1
    means negative number. If it is zero means it is a positive number.
    Z (Zero) flag
     The zero flag is set if ALU operation result is 0.
    • AC (Auxiliary Carry) flag − In arithmetic operation, when carry is
    generated by digit D3 and passed on to digit D4, the AC flag is set. This
    flag is used only internally BCD operation.
    • P (Parity) flag − After arithmetic or logic operation, if result has even
    number of 1s, the flag is set. If it has odd number of 1s, flag is reset.
    • C (Carry) flag − If arithmetic operation result is in a carry, the carry flag
    is set, otherwise it is reset.
    ALU Design
    Register section
    It is basically a storage device and transfers data from registers by using
    instructions.
    Stack Pointer (SP)
    The stack pointer is also a 16-bit register which is used as a memory
    pointer. It points to a memory location in Read/Write memory known as
    stack. In between execution of program, sometime data to be stored in
    stack. The beginning of the stack is defined by loading a 16-bit address
    in the stack pointer.
    Program Counter (PC)
    This 16-bit register deals with fourth operation to sequence the
    execution of instruction. This register is also a memory pointer. Memory
    location have 16-bit address. It is used to store the execution address.
    The function of the program counter is to point to memory address
    from which next byte is to be fetched.
    Storage registers
    These registers store 8-bit data during a program execution. These
    registers are identified as B, C, D, E, H, L. They can be combined as
    register pair BC, DE and HL to perform some 16 bit operations.
