RTL as implemented in control points

  1. Whenever you see the A register on the left side of the gets assigned symbol, <-, you know that which of the following control wires is set to 1?
               MBR-LD        F2        A-LD       PC-INCR      TMP-LD       MAR-LD
  1. What do we call the combinational circuits that decide which of a number of separate inputs gets funneled into a register?
  1. Which kind of gate is used to implement conditional "jumps" such as JZ, written in RTL as:
               if Z=1 then PC <- x
  1. Which two registers are implicitly used whenever you see m[X] in any RTL statement?
  1. Which register could possibly have been used in place of the TMP register, thereby making the CSC-1 smaller?
