 What are the Segmented
Processors?
• A segmented processor
divides the computer's main
memory logically into different
segments, each of which has
its own base address.
 A. Fundamentals of
Designing a Processors
• Processor designs are often
tested and validated on one or
several FPGAs (field-
programmable gate
arraysbefore sending the design
of the processor to a foundry
for semiconductor fabrication.
 B. The Instruction Set
• Each CPU has a set of
instructions that enables orders
telling it to switch the
appropriate transistors. The
CPU is given duties to do by the
instructions.
 C. Single Cycle
• "Single-cycle" refers to the
fact that every
implemented instruction is
finished in a single cycle and
that exactly one instruction
is worked on each cycle.
 D. Data Path and Control
• Hardware like ALUs, registers,
and internal buses make up
datapath, which is responsible
for carrying out all necessary
operations. When switching,
choosing an operation, moving
data between ALU components,
etc., control is the hardware that
instructs the datapath what to
do.
 E. The Technique of Segmentation
(Pipeline)
• Pipelining is a method for
decomposing a sequential
process into different sub-
operations, each of which is then
carried out in a separate
dedicated segment that operates
concurrently with all other
segments.
 F. Ideal Operation
• The ideal op amp is an
extension of the concept of
an ideal amplifier. An ideal
amplifier has infinite input
impedance, zero output
impedance, and a fixed gain
at all frequencies.
