In this part, I’ll design the 4-phase-clock of the CPU and I’ll make all the missing connections between the components.

How to design your own CPU from scratch – Part 3
In this part of the series, I’ll introduce the necessary components needed for storing and executing programs on our micro processor! I’ll try to keep this part quite short, because I already explained what a micro-instruction is and what it consists of on this CPU in part 2!

In the first part of this series, I discussed the ALU of our CPU. In this part, we’ll take a look at the data and program storage and how to address the them. I’ll also discuss how the ALU is controlled.

This series will discuss the basic building blocks of a simple theoretical CPU design. In it, I’ll cover one topic in each article and append the theoretical design. In the end, we’ll have a functioning CPU model.
