What is the composition of a controller
What is the composition of a controller
The controller consists of a program counter, instruction register, instruction decoder, timing generator, and operation controller.
Controllers are divided into combinational logic controllers and microprogram controllers, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
The design of combinational logic controllers is complicated and structurally complex. Once the design is completed, it cannot be modified or
expanded, but it is fast. The microprogram controller is easy to design, has a simple structure, and is convenient for modification or expansion.
To modify the function of a machine instruction, simply reprogram the corresponding microprogram;
To add a machine instruction, simply add a microprogram to the control memory, but it is done by executing a microprogram.
The specific comparison is as follows: a combinational logic controller, also known as a hard wired controller, is composed of logic circuits
and relies entirely on hardware to implement the functions of instructions.
A controller refers to a master command device that controls the starting, speed regulation, braking, and reverse of an electric motor by changing the
wiring of the main circuit or control circuit and changing the resistance value in the circuit in a predetermined order. Composed of program counters,
instruction registers, instruction decoders, timing generators, and operation controllers, it is the “decision-making body” that issues commands, that is,
it completes the coordination and command of the entire computer system”s operations.
