Fetch, Decode & Execute Cycle
- The Fetch Step
- 1. Retrieve instruction from MAR and store in CIR
- 2. Address of instruction is stored in PC (a register)
- 3. Instructions are then passed to MAR
- 4. Instruction is fetched and PC is updated
- 1. Retrieve instruction from MAR and store in CIR
- The Decode Step
- 1. CPU identifies the op-code
- - This tells it what operation to preform
- - This tells it what operation to preform
- 2. CPU decodes the instruction in order to carry it out
- 1. CPU identifies the op-code
- The Execute Step
- 1. CU links parts of CPU that are needed to execute the instruction
- - The CPU is designed to understand a set of instructions
- - The CPU is designed to understand a set of instructions
- 1. CU links parts of CPU that are needed to execute the instruction
