The MAR and MBR are old friends, and work just as described in Chapter 6.
Here are some statistics on the CSC-1:
Size of MAR = 12 bits
|
This implies that there are 4096 words
in memory.
|
Size of MBR = 16 bits
|
Each word of memory is 16 bits wide.
Thus the CSC-1 is not byte addressable,
but rather word addressable.
|
All other regs = 16 bits wide
|
One word of memory fits snugly into
A, S, PC, IR, or TMP
