A microinstruction sequencer and language package for structured microprogramming
David R. Hawk · 1975
This paper describes a microinstruction sequencing unit and an accompanying high level language package for the implementation of microprogrammable systems with structured microcode. The sequencer hardware is designed to be implemented in four bit slice integrated circuits. Thus, three IC's (12 bits) are all that are required to sequence the microinstructions from a 4K control store. The system can be made versatile enough to be applied to a broad class of microprogrammable systems.
