TYPES OF MICROINSTRUCTIONS
In the microprogrammed control units all the control signals associated with microoperations are stored in special memory called control memory .
Set of control signals that cause microoperations to occur is called microinstructions .
Micro-programmed control unit can be classified into two types based on the type of Control Word(microinstructions) stored in the Control Memory .
Horizontal micro-programmed control unit
Vertical micro-programmed control unit
In Horizontal micro-programmed control unit, the control signals are represented in the decoded binary format.
‘n’ control signals require n bit encoding i.e., 1 bit/CS.
In Vertical micro-programmed control unit, the control signals are represented in the encoded binary format.
‘n’ control signals require log2n bit encoding.
