8 Bit Microcomputer

2019

The interesting fact about this project is that it answered my childhood question- "How do computers actually compute?" It was an individual project assigned in the Microprocessor and Embedded Systems course. I successfully designed a computer in Proteus that is able to perform mathematical and logical operations. First I finished the complete schematic. The toughest part was to write down the step by step micro-instructions and the corresponding control words. This project sharpened my in-depth knowledge about microprocessor.

8 Bit Microcomputer: Research

This is the complete block diagram of the computer. The fundamental blocks are- Memory Address Register (MAR), Memory Data Register (MDR), Instruction Register, Control Sequencer, Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), four 8-bit registers etc.
