Questions and Answers

How is the increment operation achieved in a common bus system?

  • By enabling the count input of the counter (correct)
  • By using an address bus
  • By applying the content of any register onto the bus
  • By transferring the content of the bus into the designated destination register

What purpose does a single register for the address serve in a common bus system?

  • Eliminates the need for an address bus (correct)
  • Transfers content to AC
  • Enables the increment operation
  • Provides additional storage space

Where do the 16 inputs of AC come from in a common bus system?

  • Address bus
  • Destination register
  • Adder and logic circuit (correct)
  • Counter
