Abstract

This paper considers microprogramming as a tool for implementing large scale integration, single-chip microprocessors. Design trade-offs for microprogrammed control are discussed in the context of semiconductor design constraints which limit the size, speed, complexity and pin-out of circuits. Aspects of the control unit of a new generation microprocessor, which has a two level microprogrammed structure, are presented.
