IA2910A Instruction Set
The IA2910A provides sixteen instructions which select the address of the next microinstruction to
be executed. Four of the instructions are unconditional – their effect depends only on the
instruction. Ten of the instructions have an effect which is partially controlled by an external, data-
dependent condition. Three of the instructions have an effect which is partially controlled by the
contents of the internal register/counter. The instruction set is shown in Table 2. Examples of the
Instruction Execution are illustrated in Figure 2. In this discussion it is assumed that CIN is tied
HIGH.
In the ten conditional instructions, the result of the data-dependent test is applied to CCn. If the
CCn input is LOW, the test is considered to have been passed, and the action specified in the name
occurs; otherwise, the test has failed and an alternate (often simply the execution of the next
sequential microinstruction) occurs. Testing of CCn may be disabled for a specific microinstruction
by setting CCENn HIGH, which unconditionally forces the action specified in the name; that is, it
forces a pass. Other ways of using CCENn include (1) tying it HIGH, which is useful if no
microinstruction is data-dependent; (2) tying it LOW if data-dependent instructions are never
