ABSTRACT:
A microprogram control unit fetches a next microinstruction based upon a branch
o-branch condition which is determined by the processing of a current microinstruction and in concurrence with the processing of the current microinstruction. Both a branch microinstruction and a next sequential microinstruction are fetched from a microinstruction memory, but only one of them, based upon the branch condition, is transferred to a microinstruction register at the start of the next microinstruction.
