• The control memory is programmed to initiate the required sequence of micro 
operations 
• In the Micro programmed control any required changes or modifications be done 
by updating the microprogram in control memory.

sequence of microoperations 
• The control unit initiates a series of sequential steps of microoperation 
during any given time certain microoperation are to be initiated ,while 
other remain idle. 
• It consists of two decoders ,a sequence counter, a number of control logic 
gates. 
• An introduction read from memory is placed in the instruction register(IR). 
• The operation code in bits 12 through 14 are decoded with a 3 × 4 
decoder .

Microprogrammed control organization 
A memory that is part of a control unit is called a control Memory. 
A computer that uses a microprogrammed control unit usually has two 
separate memories - 
1.Main memory 
2.Control memory. 
Main memory 
The main memory is available to the user for storing their programs. The 
contents of main memory may change when the data are manipulated and 
every time the program is changed. The user' program in main memory 
consists of machine instructions and data.
Microprogrammed control organization 
control memory holds a fixed microprogram that cannot be 
altered by the occasional user. usually a ROM, which stores all control 
information permanently 
Microprogram Sequencer 
A microprogram sequencer is the next address generator, as it determines the 
address sequence that is read from control memory. The address of the next 
microinstruction can be specified in several ways depending on the sequencer 
inputs. The functions of a microprogram sequencer are incrementing the control 
address register by one 
Control data register (DR) 
The control DR(data register) stores the present microinstruction while the next 
address is computed and read from memory. The data register is also called a 
pipeline register. It allows the execution of the microoperations specified by the 
control word simultaneously with the generation of the next microinstruction
Microprogrammed control organization 
Control Address Register holds the microinstruction read from memory. The 
Microinstruction contains a control word that specifies one or more 
microoperation for the data processor. 
Instruction Format 
Microinstruction format 
The 20 bits of the microinstruction are divided into four functional parts. 
The three fields F1, F2, and F3 specify microoperation for the computer.

Addition and Subtraction 
We consider addition,subtraction,multiplication,and division 
for the following types of data: 
• Fixed-Point binary data in signed-magnitude 
representation 
• Fixed-Point binary data in signed-2’s compliment 
representation 
• Floating point binary data
Addition and Subtraction 
A processor has an arithmetic processor(as a sub part of 
it) that executes arithmetic operations. The data 
type, assumed to reside in processor, registers during 
the execution of an arithmetic instruction. Negative 
numbers may be in a signed magnitude or signed 
complement representation. 
There are three ways of representing negative fixed point 
- binary numbers 
1.signed magnitude, 
2. signed 1’s complement 
2. Signed 2’s complement. 
Most computers use the signed magnitude epresentation 
for the mantissa

Addition and Subtraction With Signed-2’s 
Compliment Data 
• The leftmost bit of a binary number represents the sign : 0 to 
denote positive and 1 to denote negative. 
• If the sign bit is 1, then we represent number in 2's 
complement form. 
• Thus + 33 is represented as 00100000 and -33 as 
11011110. Note that 11011110 is the 2's complement of 
00100000 
• The addition of two numbers in signed 2's complement form 
by adding the numbers with the sign bits treated the same 
as the other bits of the number. We discard the carry of the 
sign-bit position. 
• The subtraction consists of first taking the 2's complement 
of the subtrahend and then adding it to the minuend.
• We can detect an overflow by inspecting the last 
two carries of the addition. When the two carries 
are applied to an exclusive-OR gate, the verflow 
is detected when the output of the gate is equal 
to 1.
Multiplication Algorithm 
Multiplication of two fixed-point binary numbers in signed magnitude representation
Hardware for Multiply operation
Multiplication Algorithm 
• The multiplier is stored in the register 
• and its sign in Qs. 
• The sequence counter SC is initially set bits in 
the multiplier. After forming each partial 
product the counter is decremented. When 
the content of the counter reaches zero, the 
product is complete and we stop the process.
Booth multiplication algorithm 
Booth algorithm needs examination of the multiplier bits and shifting of the 
partial product. Prior to the shifting, the multiplicand added to the partial 
product, subtracted from the partial product, or left unchanged by the 
following rules: 
1. The multiplicand is subtracted from the partial product when we get the first 
least significant 1 in a string of 1' in the multiplier. 
2. The multiplicand is added to the partial product when we get the first Q 
(provided that there was a previous 1) in a string of 0' in the multiplier. 
3. The partial product does not change when the multiplier bit is the same as 
the previous multiplier bit.
