3 Functions of Control Unit

 Supervise flow of data within CPU

 Transfer data to Arithmetic and Logic Unit
 Transfer results to memory

3 Functional Groups of System Bus

 Data Bus
 Control Bus
 Address Bus

PART III. DISCUSSION

1. Choose two(2) from the four possible computer operations(a,b,c,d) then write their complete
descriptions and give specific example for each. (10 pts)
 o The functional view in C depicts that the operation starts from the data storage then
goes thru the control mechanism and then data processing until it reaches back to
data storage. One example of this operation is when you open a certain file thru your
computer and make changes to it or rather update it and, then afterwards you saved
the changes you made in that certain file.

o The functional view in D depicts that the operation starts from the data movement
then goes thru the control mechanism and then data processing until it reaches data
storage. A good example of this is when you upload your assignment to myLPU.

2. Explain the System Bus architecture. Five important information about the system bus are
expected from the explanation. (5 pts)

The system bus combines the functions of the three main buses, which are:

 The control bus carries the control, timing and coordination signals to manage the various
functions across the system. Control bus is usually the one that handles all the access and use of
data and also the transfer of data.
 The address bus is used to specify locations to where the data are being transferred.
 The data bus, which is a bidirectional path, carries the actual data between the processor, the
memory and the peripherals. The data bus is the one that manages the path where data will be
moving.

We also have the parallel bus and serials bus.

 Serial bus, the bits of data are to be transferred one at a time which is ideal for short
distances data transmission.
 Parallel bus, the bits of data are transferred simultaneously or all at once, which is good for
better data transmission than serial bus but it costs more when used for long distance data
transmission.
