1. What is a Control Unit and its characteristics?

It is a component of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the
processor. It was included as part of the Von Neumann Architecture by John von Neumann. The
CPU acts as the computer's brain, handling data processing, storing information, and
coordinating the functions of all other components within the system.

2. What are the functional elements of a processor?

CPU has three main parts namely arithmatic logic unit (ALU), control unit (CU), and memory
unit. If a CPU receives input that says to complete a calculation or logical operation, this is done
with the arithmatic logic unit. The CPU is seen as the main and most crucial integrated circuitry
(IC) chip in a computer, as it is responsible for interpreting most of computer’s commands.

3. Elaborate on each functional element of a processor.

Fetching instructions involves retrieving each instruction from primary memory one at a time and
gathering the necessary data and operands to execute those instructions. The ALU performs
arithmetic and logic operations such as additions and multiplications based on the instructions
received. Programs are fetched from input and secondary memory and transferred to primary
memory for execution, with results stored in primary memory and sent to the output for
processing or display. Illustrate and explain how the Control unit works.

4. What are the control signals in the control unit?

Control signals are the output of learning and processing block, which are sent to different
output interfaces to produce desired output in the real physical world. It is generated by the
control unit cause the opening and closing of logic gates, resulting in the transfer of data to and
from registers and the operation of the ALU.

5. What are the 3 destinations of the control signal and what does it do?

The three destinations of the control signal are the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), the memory
unit, and the input/output (I/O) unit. The control signal determines which operations the ALU
performs, such as addition, subtraction, or logical operations. It also controls the flow of data
between the memory unit and the CPU, specifying whether data should be read from or written
to memory. Additionally, the control signal directs the input/output operations, indicating when
data should be transferred between the CPU and external devices such as keyboards, monitors,
or printers.

6. What are the basic tasks of a control unit?

The control unit fetches instructions from the CPU's memory, represented in bits, and translates
those instructions into control signals in the form of pulses of electricity or light. The signals are
commands, which are followed by other parts of the computer.
