Instruction Set:

Operation Code
Dec(Hex)

01(01)    CLRRA (clear register A)
02(02)   CLRRB (clear register B)
03 (03)   CLRACC (clear Accumulator)
04 (04)   LDRA (immediate, load register A)
05 (05)   LDRA (direct, load register A)
06 (06)   LDRB (immediate, load register B)
07 (07)   LDRB (direct, load register B)
08 (08)   DECRA (decrement registry A)
09 (09)   DECRB (decrement registry B)
10 (0A) DECACC (decrement accumulator)
11 (0B) INCRA (increment registry A)
12 (0C) INCRB (increment registry B)
13 (0D) INCRACC (increment accumulator)
14 (0E)  STRA (direct, store Register A)
15 (0F)  STRB (direct, store Register B)
16 (10)  STACC (direct, store accumulator)
17 (11)  ADD (add register B to register A and store results in accumulator)
18 (12) JMP () ( immediate, jump unconditionally (load PC) immediate Mode).
19  (13) JMP(>) (immediate, JMP if comparator greater than output true.)
20  (14) JMP(=) (JMP if comparator equal output true)
21  (15) JMP(<) (JMP if comparator less than output is true)

Notes:

1. Immediate Mode: Operation is performed on address immediately following operation code.

2. Direct Mode: Address immediately following operation code contains address of operand.

3. Implied Mode: Operand is implied by operation code. Example: Code 01, CLRRA operates on register RA.

4. Only three arithmetic functions are performed by this computer.
    a. Count (up or down)
    b. Addition
    c. Comparison

5. This programmers model of computer only shows registers, Buses, an Accumulator to show result of addition, and bit indicators (< = >) to show results of comparison.

6. Negative numbers or 2's compliment arithmetic is not supported.

7. Burn Proms : Simulates the burning of the program you wrote into a uvProm. Actually it causes the data in the text boxes to be written into an array (JAVA script).

8. Load RAM : Simulates loading data into 16 byte Random Access Memory. Naturally you cannot type data directly into memory. But the I/O for writing data into memory is beyond the scope of this introduction to computers.

9. Single Step: Causes program to advance through one completes operation. At end of cycle program counter will point to next instruction. All remaining register contents are whatever was in register at end of the cycle. Data Bus and Address Bus reflect last valid data and address of previous instruction cycle.

10. I express all numbers as decimal. The numbers are really binary in simulation metaphor and in JAVA program. The numbers could also be represented as octal or hexadecimal. The numbers cannot be represented as Binary Coded Decimal(BCD).

Virtual Circuit Kits:
Get Kits 3, 4, 5 and 8 : Click Here for download
Kits Contain Resister Networks, Wheatstone Bridge, Ammeter, Capacitor Circuits, RLC(Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor0 Circuits, and Complex filters. Lots of faulty circuits included for troubleshooting.

The Internet provides you with all the graphics and text about electronics that one can imagine. My site and e-books are special, because they provide not only free books, but the books include FREE virtual circuits to observe and troubleshoot. You get virtual circuits with out the expense of Brick and Mortar bread boards. Industry does not need technicians that have simply read about electronics circuits, that is why electronics schools have laboratories in addition to classrooms. I provide laboratory manuals combined with virtual circuits for you to troubleshoot. That makes this site and its free downloads different, if not unique. Please bookmark my site and download some or all of my free e-books and simulations.

Also Included as part of our Free System Troubleshooting learning method are:

1. Meter Math (Click here) Troubleshooting Numeric Systems.

2. JavaScript for scientific Calculations (Click here) I teach you how to program and perform electronic calculations simultaneously.

3. Electronic Concepts our best free e-Book (Click here) For engineers and technicians.
