controller
Clock generator
Uses a clock oscillator circuit driven by an external crystal or ceramic resonator to supply clock signals
to CPU blocks.
Program counter
Generates addresses for the instructions to be ins erted into the instruction queue. Normally
incremented by sequencer indication, but may be s et to branch destination addres s or ALU operation
res ult when branch instructions or interrupts occur.
Instruction queue Stores up to 2 bytes of pre-fetched instructions.
Instruction decoder
Decodes the instruction queue, sequentially generates the control signals needed for instruction
execution, and executes the instruction by controlling the blocks within the chip.
Instruction execution
controller
Controls CPU block operations in res ponse to the result decoded by the instruction decoder and
interrupt requests.
ALU
Executes arithmetic operations , logic operations, shift operations, and calculates operand address es
for register relative indirect addressing mode.
Internal ROM, RAM Ass igned to the execution program, data and stack region.
Address register
Stores the addres ses specifying memory for data transfer. Stores the bas e address for register relative
indirect addres sing mode.
Data register Holds data for operations. Two 8-bit registers can be connected to form a 16-bit register.
Interrupt controller Detects interrupt requests from peripheral functions and requests CPU s hift to interrupt process ing.
Bus controller
Controls connection of CPU internal bus and CPU external bus. Includes bus usage arbitration
function.
Internal peripheral
functions
Includes peripheral functions (timer, serial interface, A/D converter, D/A converter, etc.) Peripheral
functions vary with model.
