    • Consists of:
      • Data Bus: Bidirectional, carries data between microprocessor and memory. Size determines the type of operations performed.
      • Address Bus: Unidirectional, sends instructions from microprocessor to memory. Size determines the amount of memory that can be addressed.
      • Control Bus: Unidirectional and Bidirectional signals, used for control and co-ordination.

    • General Purpose Registers: B, C, D, E, H, and L, each 8-bit. Used as pairs (BC, DE, and HL) to perform 16-bit operations.
    • Accumulator: 8-bit register within ALU, used to store data and operation results.
    • Flag Register: 5 flags that track the status of operations:
      • Carry Flag (CF): Indicates if an operation produced a carry.
      • Parity Flag (PF): Indicates if the result has an even or odd number of set bits.
      • Zero Flag (ZF): Indicates if the result of an operation is zero.
      • Sign Flag (SF): Indicates if the MSB of the result is set.
      • Auxiliary Carry Flag (AC): Indicates if there's a carry from bit 3 to bit 4.
    • Program Status Word (PSW): Combination of the Accumulator and Flag Register (16-bit). Used for stack operations.
    • Stack Pointer (SP): 16-bit register that points to the stack in memory, acting as a memory pointer.
