MICROOPERATION
An elementary operation performed during one clock pulse, on the information stored in one or more registers

Registers (R)

ALU (f)

1 clock cycle

Register Transfer Language

REGISTER TRANSFER LANGUAGE

Definition of the organization of a computer - Set of registers and their functions - Microoperations Set Set of allowable microoperations provided by the organization of the computer - Control signals that initiate the sequence of microoperations For any function of the computer, a sequence of microoperations is used to describe it ----> Register transfer language - A symbolic language - A convenient tool for describing the internal organization of digital computers - Can also be used to facilitate the design process of digital systems.
