Q. Explain the type of micro-operations?
Let's first discuss type of micro-operations. Most common micro-operations performed in a digital computer can be categorized into 4 categories:
1. Register transfer micro-operations: simply transfer binary information from one register to another.
2. Arithmetic micro-operations: perform simple arithmetic operations on numeric data stored in registers.
3. Logic micro-operations: perform bit manipulation (logic) operations on non-numeric data stored in registers.
4. Shift micro-operations registers: perform shift operations on data stored in registers.
