| 111 | Summary |
| 112 | </h1> |
| 113 | <ul style="font-size: 20px; margin-left: 35px;"> |
| 114 | <li>Continued and restarted building of the Clock Module |
| 115 | <li>Completed the construction of the B-Register |
| 116 | <ul style="font-size: 20px; margin-left: 45px;"> |
| 117 | <li>Used as temporary data storage, one of the operands for the ALU, and holds data during transfers</li> |
| 118 | <li>Contains 2 4-bit registers, each storing 4-bits of data</li> |
| 119 | <li>Includes bidirectional bus transceivers to facilitate data flow between the B-Register and BUS</li> |
| 120 | </ul> |
| 121 | <li>Continued building the Random Access Memory (RAM) |
| 122 | <ul style="font-size: 20px; margin-left: 45px;"> |
| 123 | <li>Uses flip-flop chips to store 4 1-bit data units</li> |
| 124 | <li>A multiplexer (Quad 2-to-1) is employed to channel multiple data lines into a single line</li> |
| 125 | <li>The BUS transceiver chip is an 8-bit tri-state buffer that allows data to flow bidirectionally between two buses</li> |
| 126 | </ul> |
| 127 | </li> |
| 128 | <li>Continued documentation, focusing on schematics</li> |
| 129 | </ul> |

| 142 | Summary |
| 143 | </h1> |
| 144 | <ul style="font-size: 20px; margin-left: 35px;"> |
| 145 | <li>Rebuilt the A and B Registers.</li> |
| 146 | |
| 147 | <li>Completed the construction of the Program Counter. |
| 148 | <ul style="font-size: 20px; margin-left: 55px;"> |
| 149 | <li>Counts in binary to track which instruction the computer is executing</li> |
| 150 | <li>Utilizes JK flip-flops, which are storage elements that count binary numbers</li> |
| 151 | <li>Connected to the Clock Module to test counter inputs</li> |
| 152 | </ul> |
