The control unit generates the control signals required to perform an operation in the proper sequence. All the signals that control the operation of the data path are generated by the control unit. Signals generated by the control unit are uniquely determined by:
Control unit can be designed using any of the following approaches:
We will consider both approaches in the design of control unit and compare the two approaches in terms of area, speed, and flexibility. |
