Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 21P
Consider a register that can store eight bits. Assume that it has been reset so that it contains zeros in all positions. If you transfer four alternating bits (0101) serially into the register, beginning with a 1 and shifting to the right, what will the total content of the register be as soon as the fourth bit is stored?

What would happen if an instruction was disobeyed, and why would that be the case? In the following scenarios, a TLB that is maintained by software is more efficient than one that is handled by hardware:
1. Suppose that four different four-bit numbers are to be taken from memory and added by the circuit discussed in class. How many CLEAR pulses will be needed? How many TRANSFER pulses? How many LOAD pulses?
2. Determine the contents of the A register after the following sequence of operations: [A] = 0000, [0110] -> [B], [S] -> [A], [1110] -> [B], [S] -> [A].
3. Determine the contents of the A registers after the following sequence of operations: [A] = 0000, [0100] -> [B], [S] -> [A], [1011] -> [B], [S] -> [A].

What is the limitation on the diameter of a round chip so that any computation result can by used anywhere on the chip at a clock rate of 1 GHz?

Each of these cells represents a single binary-bit value of 1 when its 35-fFfcapacitor (1fF=10^−15F) is charged at 1.5 V, or 0 when uncharged at 0 V. A)When it is fully charged, how many excess electrons are on a cell capacitor's negative plate? B) After charge has been placed on a cell capacitor's plate, it slowly "leaks" off (through a variety of mechanisms) at a constant rate of 0.30 fC/s. How long does it take for the potential difference across this capacitor to decrease by 1.0% from its fully charged value? (Because of this leakage effect, the charge on a DRAM capacitor is "refreshed" many times per second.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
