Micro instruction format: It consists of two fields of micro-operation. One field from conditions, one for branch field and one is address field.

F1

F2

Condition

Branch

Address

 

Explanation:

Micro operation field into two subfields containing 15 micro operations each.

Condition field: 4 status bits

Branch: 4 options in conjunction with address

So, bits required for microoperations = log215 + log215 = 4 + 4 = 8

Condition = log24 = 2

Branch in conjunction with address field = log2(4 × 128) = log2 512 = 9

F1 (4 bits)

F2( 4 bits)

Condition( 2 bits)

Branch with address (9 bits)

 

Size of micro – instruction = 8 + 2 + 9 = 19 bits
