Data path components

Question 1

What are some of the building blocks

Answer 1

muxes, decoders, mutliplexors, gates, basic registers, controllers

Question 2

difference between control and data inputs

Answer 2

control - have a single bit or only a few, that represent a state like 1 bit represents button pressed

data input - mutiple bits representing a single entity

like 7 bits representing temperature in binary

Question 3

what are data path components

Answer 3

register transfer level (RTL) components that store/ transform data

Question 4

why are they called RTL

Answer 4

because they focus on the way the data gets transferred between registers. specifikon kur data moves from one register to the other

Question 5

how can u get a processor

Answer 5

combining controllers and datapaths

Question 6

whats a 2 bit adder

Answer 6

adds 2 bit numbers, output is 3 bit result

Question 7

why do truth tables not work well for bigger size n

Answer 7

For an n-bit adder, the truth table has
2^(2n) rows
