44 | | Summary |
45 | | </h1> |
46 | | <ul style="font-size: 20px; margin-left: 35px;"> |
47 | | <li>Familiarized with breadboard computer components: <b>ICs, logic gates, registers, breadboards, wires, and connectors.</b></li> |
48 | | <li>Learned about fundamental computer components: <b>Fetch-Execute Cycle, CPU, RAM, ALU, and BUS.</b></li> |
49 | | <li>Explored the Fetch-Execute Cycle: <b>Fetch, Decode, Execute.</b></li> |
50 | | <li>Studied the CPU: <b>functions, clock, registers, and ALU.</b></li> |
51 | | <li>Understood RAM: <b>its function, volatility, and direct access capabilities.</b></li> |
52 | | <li>Examined the ALU: <b>performs arithmetic and logical operations.</b></li> |
53 | | <li>Investigated the BUS: <b>facilitates communication between CPU, memory, and peripherals.</b></li> |
54 | | <li>Planned tasks for next week: <b>model and test the ALU using TinkerCad, begin detailed documentation, construct the clock monitor, and build the registers.</b></li> |
55 | | </ul> |
