Control Circuit Answer

  Control Circuit Problem

First, observe that RegWrite is 1 for R-format instructions and lw, and 0 for the others. Looking at the table on p. 367, observe that the op code bits labeled Op3 and Op2 are both zeros for these instructions, and are not both zeros otherwise. Therefore, all we have to do is create a circuit that will produce 1 when Op2 and Op2 are both 0, and produce a 0 otherwise. Such as:
