In executing a complete instruction

- The first three steps are always the same

o 1. PCout, MARin, Read, Select1, Add, Zin
o 2. Zout, PCin, Yin, WMFC
o 3. MDRout, IRin
- Steps 4 and onwards are what you call the execution phase, this is the part where the CPU
actually executes the instruction
- During the first three steps, the contents of the program counter are updated and also
stored in Y register in order to prepare for a branch instruction
