2. Register Transfer Language
MICROOPERATION
Digital systems are composed of modules that are constructed from digital components, such as registers, decoders, arithmetic elements, and control logic
MICROOPERATION: An elementary operation performed during
one clock pulse, on the information stored in one or more registers
ALU
(f)
Registers
(R)
1 clock cycle
operation ex.: shift, count, clear, load, add,...

3. REGISTER TRANSFER LANGUAGE
The internal hardware organization of a digital computer is best defined by specifying :
The set of registers it contains and their functions
The sequence of microoperations performed on the binary information stored
The control that initiates the sequence of microoperations
For any function of the computer, a sequence of
microoperations is used to describe it
----> Register transfer language
- A symbolic language
- A convenient tool for describing the
internal organization of digital computers
- Can also be used to facilitate the design
process of digital systems.

4. REGISTER TRANSFER Designation of a register - a register
- portion of a register
- a bit of a register

Representation of a transfer(parallel)
R2  R1
This statement implies that the hardware is available
The outputs of the source must have a path to the inputs of the destination
The destination register has a parallel load capability
Representation of a controlled(conditional) transfer
P: R2  R1
A binary condition(p=1) which determines when the transfer
is to occur
If (p=1) then (R2  R1)
