UHC-2, An Educational Micro-Computer

Abstract

Contained in this thesis is a design for a parallel micro-computer of 64 word capacity, 8-bit/word, and with a repertoire of 11 basic in­ structions (ADD, STORE, BRANCH, PRINT, READ, STOP, CLEAR, COMPLEMENT, SHIFT RIGHT, and two SKIP instructions). The operations SUBTRACT, SHIFT LEFT and other SKIP instructions can be performed with subroutines. The computer is intended to be built by students using commercially availa­ ble logic modules which will permit a visual display of the UHC-2's in­ ternal functions during computation. The UHC-2 is composed of Control, Arithmetic, I/0, and Memory units. A detailed design for each section is included.
