Lecture 4: Microoperations & Register Transfer Language (RTL)

#Microoperation #RegisterTransferMicrooperation #RTL Microoperation: The operations executed on date stored in registers are called microoperations. A microoperation is an elementary operation performed on the on the information stored in one or more registers. Examples of microoperations are shift, count, clear, and load. Types: 1. Register Transfer Microoperation 2. Arithmetic Microoperation 3. Logical Micrioperation 4. Shift Microoperation Register Transfer Language (RTL): It is possible to specify the sequence of microoperations in a computer by explaining every operation in words, but this procedure usually involves a lengthy descriptive explanation. The use of symbols instead of a narrative explanation provides an organized and concise manner for listing the microoperation sequences in registers. The symbolic notation used to describe the microoperation transfers among registers is called a register transfer language (RTL).
