Questions
1. The content of AC in the basic computer is hexadecimal A937 and the initial value of E is 1.
Determine the contents of AC, E, PC, AR, and IR in hexadecimal after the execution of CLA
instruction. Repeat 11 more times, starting from each one of the following of the register-
reference instructions. The initial values of PC is hexadecimal 021.
2. The content of PC in the basic computer is 3AF. The content of AC is 7EC3. The content of
memory at address 32E is 09AC. The content of memory 9AC is 8B9F.
(a) What is the instruction that will be fetched and executed next?
(b) Show the binary operation that will be performed in the AC when the instruction is
executed.
(c) Give the contents of registers PC, AR, DR, AC and IR in hexadecimal and the values of
E, I and the sequence counter SC in binary at the end of the instruction cycle.
3. An 8-bit register contains the binary value 10011100. What is the register value
after arithmetic shift right? Starting from the initial number 10011100, determine
the register value after arithmetic shift left, and state whether there is an overflow.

4.An instruction at address 021 in the basic computer has I=0, an operation code
of the AND instruction, and an address part equal to 083. The memory word at
address 083 contains the operand B8F2 and the content of AC is A937. Go over
the instruction cycle and determine the contents of the following registers at the
end of the execute cycle: PC, AR, DR, IR and AC. Repeat the cycle for other
memory reference instructions
