Central Processing Unit

This chapter describes the main components of the central processing unit
(CPU). First, this chapter describes three fundamental sections of the CPU
(see Figure 3–1):

-

Input scaling section

-

Multiplication section

-

Central arithmetic logic section

The chapter then describes the auxiliary register arithmetic unit (ARAU), which
performs arithmetic operations independently of the central arithmetic logic
section. The chapter concludes with a description of status registers ST0 and
ST1, which contain bits for determining processor modes, addressing pointer
values, and indicating various processor conditions and arithmetic logic re-
sults.
