MCP-1600
A proce ssor made by Western Digital, con si sting of at lea st four separate integrated circuits, including the control circuitry unit, the ALU, two or four ROM chip s with microcode, and timing circuitry. The ALU chip contained twenty- six 8-bit registers and an 8-bit ALU, while the control unit supervi sed the moving of data, memory acce ss, and other control function s. The ROM allowed the chip to function a s either an 8- or 16-bit chip, with clever u se of the 8-bit ALU. Further, microcode allowed the addition of floating-point routine s (40 + 8 bit format), simplifying programming (and po ssibly producing a floating-point coproce ssor). Two standard microcode ROMs were available. Thi s flexibility wa s one rea son it wa s al so u sed to implement the DEC LsI-11 proce ssor a s well a s the WD {Pa scal Microengine}.
