This document discusses registers, register transfer, and binary logic in digital systems. It contains the following key points: 1. Registers are used to store and hold binary information in a computer system. Register transfer involves moving data between registers, such as from an input register to a processor register. 2. The control unit uses registers to track computer sequences. Data must be stored in a register when transferred to or from an input/output device. 3. Binary logic deals with variables that can take on two values (0 or 1) and logical operations on these values. Logic gates are used to manipulate bits.

RegisterTransfer
— The CU uses Registers to keep track of
various computer sequences.
— Every input or output device must have at
least one register to store the
information transferred to or from the
device.
— An inter-register transfer operation,a
basic operation in digital system, consists
of a transfer of the information stored in
one register to another.

RegisterTransfer
— The input unit is assumed to have a
keyboard,a control unit, and an input
register.
— Each time a key is struck, the control
enters into the input register an
equivalent 8 bit alphanumeric character
code (assume code is ASCII).
— The information from the input register is
transferred into the eight least significant
cells of a processor register.
RegisterTransfer
— After every transfer, the input register is cleared
to enable the control to insert a new 8 bit code
when the keyboard is struck again.
— Each 8 bit character transferred to the
processor register is preceded by a shift of the
previous character to the next 8 cells on its left.
— When the transfer of characters is completed,
the processor register is full, and its contents
are transferred into a memory register.

RegisterTransfer
— To process discrete quantities of information in
binary form, a computer must be provided with,
i. Devices that hold the data to be processed.
ii. Circuit elements that manipulate individual
bits of information.
— The device most commonly used for holding
data is register.
— Manipulation of binary variables is done by
means of digital logic circuits.

RegisterTransfer
— Process of adding two 10 bit binary numbers.
— Memory unit, which normally consists of
thousands of registers, is shown with only 3 of
its registers.
— Processor is shown with 3 registers, R1,R2,R3,
together with Digital Logic Circuit that
manipulate the bits of R1 and R2 and transfer
into R3, their sum.
RegisterTransfer
— Information stored in memory can be
transferred to processor registers, and Results
obtained in processor registers can be
transferred back into a memory register for
storage.
— The registers of a system are the basic elements
for storing and holding the binary information.
— The Digital Logic Circuits process the
information.

Binary Logic
— Binary Logic deals with variable that take
on two discrete values and with
operations that assume logical meaning.
— Binary logic is used to describe in a
mathematical way, the manipulation and
processing of binary information.
— It is particularly suited for the analysis and
design of digital systems.
— It is also termed as BooleanAlgebra.

Binary logic
— Binary logic deals with variables that take on two
discrete values and operations that assume logical
meaning.
— Logic gates: electronic circuits that operate on one or
more input signals to produce an output signal.
