    Study Notes

    Micro-Operations

    • Micro-operations (micro-ops) are the functional or atomic operations of a processor, used to implement complex machine instructions.
    • They perform operations on data stored in one or more registers, transferring data between registers or between external buses of the CPU.
    • Micro-operations include arithmetic and logical operations on registers.

    Types of Micro-Operations

    • Load: loads information from memory into a register.
    • Store: stores information from a register into memory.
    • Add: adds two values and stores the result in a register.
    • Subtract: subtracts one value from another and stores the result in a register.
    • And: performs a logical AND operation on two values and stores the result in a register.
    • Or: performs a logical OR operation on two values and stores the result in a register.
    • Not: performs a logical NOT operation on a value and stores the result in a register.
    • Shift: shifts the bits in a register to the left or right.

    Arithmetic Micro-Operations

    • Addition: adds two values together and stores the result in a register.
    • Subtraction: subtracts one value from another and stores the result in a register.
    • Increment: adds 1 to the value in a register.
    • Decrement: subtracts 1 from the value in a register.
    • Multiplication: multiplies two values together and stores the result in a register.
    • Division: divides one value by another and stores the quotient and remainder in separate registers.
    • Shift: shifts the bits in a register to the left or right.

    Logic Micro-Operations

    • Logic Micro-operations are a set of binary operations performed on registers containing strings of bits.
    • These operations treat each bit of the register separately and consider them as binary variables.
    • There are 16 different logic operations that can be performed.

    Shift Micro-Operations

    • There are three types of shift micro-operations: Logical Shift, Arithmetic Shift, and Circular Shift.
    • Logical Shift: transfers the 0 zero through the serial input.
    • Arithmetic Shift: moves the signed binary number either to the left or to the right position.
    • Circular Shift: circulates the bits in the sequence of the register around both ends without any loss of information.

    Logical Shift

    • Logical Left Shift: moves each bit one position to the left and fills the empty least significant bit (LSB) with zero.
    • Logical Right Shift: not mentioned in the text.

    Arithmetic Shift

    • Arithmetic Left Shift: moves each bit one position to the left, filling the empty least significant bit (LSB) with zero.
    • Arithmetic Right Shift: moves each bit one position to the right, filling the empty most significant bit (MSB) with the value of the previous MSB.

    Circular Shift

    • Circular Left Shift: shifts each bit one position to the left, filling the empty least significant bit (LSB) with the value of the most significant bit (MSB).
    • Circular Right Shift: shifts each bit one position to the right, filling the empty most significant bit (MSB) with the value of the least significant bit (LSB).
