A NAND gate looks like a very small and simple digital circuit. It takes two binary inputs and produces one binary output. But this…
A CPU contains many important components: registers, an ALU, control logic, memory interfaces, and other supporting circuits. But these components are useful only when they…
In the previous lessons, we learned how logic gates can perform simple operations. We then built a half adder, which can add two binary bits.…
A processor can perform millions or billions of operations every second. It can add numbers, compare values, calculate addresses, control loops, call functions, and move…
Chapter 1 The Missing Piece of the CPU In our previous lessons, we explored how computers work. We learned how transistors form logic gates. We…
🔹 1. What is RV32I? RV32I is the base instruction set of the RISC-V architecture. RV = RISC-V 32 = 32-bit (registers are 32 bits…
