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.
