Lab 1 Report Day of Lab: Wednesday

Program Counter
The program counter, which is part of the control unit, counts from 0000 to 1111.
Input and MAR
Below the program counter is the input and MAR block. It includes the address and data switch registers.
RAM
The RAM is 16x8 static TTL RAM. It can be programmed by means of address and data switch registers.
Instruction Register
The instruction register is part of the control unit. To fetch an instruction from the memory the computer does a
memory read operation.
Controller-Sequencer
The lower left block contains the controller-sequencer. Before each computer run, CLR a signal is sent, to the
program counter and a CLR signal to the instruction register.
Accumulator
The accumulator (A) is a buffer register that stores intermediate answers during a computer run.
The Adder-Subtractor
SAP-1 uses a 2's-complement adder-Subtractor.
B Register
The B register is another buffer register. It is used in arithmetic operations. A low LB’ and positive clock edge load
the word on the W bus into the B register.
Output Register
At the end of a computer run, the accumulator contains the answer to the problem being solved.
Binary Display: The binary display is a row of eight light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Instruction Set
The SAP-I instruction set consist on five instructions as given below;
(a) LDA (b) ADD (c) SUB (d) OUT (e) HLT

Conclusion:

This lab will familiarize me with the Architecture and operations of operation of SAP-1. In this lab I know how an
SAP-1 can perform operations. Scaling and Gain of Amplifiers. By doing this lab, I am able to use SAP-1
