12. CS 150 - Spring 2007 – Lec #18 – Mid #2 Review - 12 Time State (Divide & Conquer) Time State FSM Most instructions follow same basic sequence Differ only in detailed execution sequence Time State FSM can be parameterized by opcode and AC states Instruction State: stored in IR Condition State: stored in AC T0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 Wait/ BRN AC  0/ (LD + ST + ADD) Wait/ BRN + (ST Wait)/ (LD + ADD) Wait 

13. CS 150 - Spring 2007 – Lec #18 – Mid #2 Review - 13 Jump Counters Pure Jump Counter Logic blocks implemented via discrete logic, PLAs, ROMs NOTE: No inputs to jump state logic

14. CS 150 - Spring 2007 – Lec #18 – Mid #2 Review - 14 Jump Counters Hybrid Jump Counter Load inputs are function of state and FSM inputs

15. CS 150 - Spring 2007 – Lec #18 – Mid #2 Review - 15 Jump Counters CLR, CNT, LD implemented via Mux Logic Active Lo outputs: hi input inverted at the output Note that CNT is active hi on counter so invert MUX inputs! CLR = CLRm + Reset

16. CS 150 - Spring 2007 – Lec #18 – Mid #2 Review - 16 Branch Sequencers 4 Way Branch Sequencer Current State selects two inputs to form part of ROM address These select one of four possible next states (and output sets) Every state has exactly four possible next states Mux I n p u t s 64 Word ROM   state x11 x10 x01 x00 Z Y X W C o n t r o l S i g n a l s a0 a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 N WX Y Z 

17. CS 150 - Spring 2007 – Lec #18 – Mid #2 Review - 17 Branch Sequencers Alternative Horizontal Implementation Input MUX controlled by encoded signals, not state Much fewer inputs than unique states! In example FSM, input MUX can be 2:1! Adding length to ROM word saves on bits vs. doubling words Vertical format: (14 + 4) x 64 = 1152 ROM bits Horizontal format: (14 + 4 x 4 + 2) x 16 = 512 ROM bits
