Part 1 : Datapath
Computer Specification Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)
The specification of a computer's appearance to a programmer at its lowest level.
It describe all the available instruction set in the computer, where it is kept (address) and how to use it (read).
Computer Architecture A high-level description of the hardware implementing the
computer derived from the ISA Consists of: A Datapath and A Control
Part 1 : Datapath
The architecture usually includes additional specifications such as speed, cost, and reliability.
Simple computer architecture comprise of: Datapath for performing operations Control unit for controlling datapath operations
A datapath is specified by:a. A set of registers
b. The microoperations performed on the data stored in the registers
c. A control interface
Datapath and Control
• Datapath - performs data transfer and processing operations
The control unit sends:– Control signals– Control outputs
The control unit receives:– External control inputs– Status signals
• Control Unit - Determines the enabling and sequencing of the operations
A General Purpose Processor
Control Word
CPU
Computer Datapath Implements register transfer microoperations and
serves as a framework for the design of detailed processing logic.
Control Word Provides a tie between the datapath and the
control unit.
Datapaths :
Guiding principles for basic datapaths (Typical):
The set of registers Collection of individual registers A set of registers with common access resources called a
register file A combination (individual & set of reg.) of the above
Microoperation implementation One or more shared resources for implementing microoperations Buses - shared transfer paths Arithmetic-Logic Unit (ALU) - shared resource for implementing
arithmetic and logic microoperations Shifter - shared resource for implementing shift microoperations
Datapath
The combination of:
A set of registers with a shared ALU, and interconnecting paths.

Is a combinational circuit that performs a set of basic microoperations on:
Arithmetic, and Logic
Has a number of selection lines used to determine the operations to be performede.g. n selection lines can specify up to 2n types of
operations.
An n-bit ALU n data inputs of A are combined with n data inputs of B, to generate the result of an operation at the G outputs.

MSB
LSB
The ShifterThe Shifter Shifts the value on
Bus B, placing the result on an input of MUX F
The Shifter can:o Shift Righto Shift Left
It is obvious that the shifter would be a bidirectional shift register with parallel load.
Alternatively, a combinational logic shifter can be constructed using multiplexers.
Barrel Shifter
Barrel in BM = ? “Tong Deram”
Is a combinational circuit.
Can shift data more than 1-bit position in a single clock cycle. No. of bit positions to be shifted or rotated is specified by
the “select” inputs.
Shift here is Rotate Left. Data is shifted left with the MSB rotated back as LSB.
4 Bit Basic Shifter
S Operation
00 Parallel Load B (B to be passed thru the shifter unchanged)
01 Shift Right
10 Shift Left
Serial Inputs:
IR for right shiftIL for left shift
Barrel Shifter
The data can be shifted or rotated more than one bit position in a single clock cycle
By using MUX.
2n input requires 2n MUX.
4-Bit Barrel Shifter
• A rotate is a shift in which the bits shifted out are inserted into the positions vacated• The circuit rotates its contents left from 0 to 3 positions depending on Selector S.
Note that a left rotation by three (3) positions is the same as a right rotation by one position in this 4 bit barrel shifter

Datapath Representation (continued) In the register file:
Multiplexer select inputs become A address and B address
Decoder input becomes D address
Multiplexer outputs become A data and B data
Input data to the registers becomes D data
Load enable becomes write The register file now appears like
a memory based on clocked flip-flops (the clock is not shown)

Boolean Equations: MF = F3.F2 Gi = Fi Hi = Fi
Control Word
The datapath has many control inputs.
The signals driving these inputs can be defined and organized into a control word.
To execute a microinstruction, we apply control word values for a clock cycle. For most microoperations, the positive edge of the clock
cycle is needed to perform the register load.
The datapath control word format and the field definitions are shown on the next slide.
The Control Word
Represents the control inputs to the datapath.
Determines the microoperation to be executed for each clock pulse.
A Datapath with Control variables
Register File•8 registers, R0 to R7.•Outputs to Function Unit via Bus A and Bus B.
•16 control inputs (represented by control word).
