8-bit Computer

This repository documents the Ben Eater 8-bit computer schematics and notes on the working principles.

Acknowledgment

That project is inspired by Ben Eater 8 bit computer video series. All the schematics in this repository are his work. You can find the project video tutorials and schematics on the Ben Eater website: Ben Eater 8-bit computer

Project Specifications

That 8-bit computer consists of the following modules:

• Clock Generator
• 6 registers: 2 common purpose registers which are A-register and B-register, an Instruction Register (IR), Memory Address Register (MAR), Program counter, and an Output register.
• 16-byte Random Access Memory (RAM)
• Arithemtic Logic Unit
• Control Logic Unit

To find my notes on the working principles of the modules, you go can to the modules section.
