      Program counter

      The program is stored in memory with the first instruction at binary address 0000, the second instruction at address 0001, the third at address 0010 and so on.  The program counter, which is part of the control unit, counts from 0000 to 1111. Its job is to send to the memory the address of next instruction

      The program counter is reset to 0000 before computer run. When the computer run begins, the program counter sends address 0000 to the memory. The program counter is then incremented to get 0001. After the first instruction is fetched and executed, the program counter sends address 0001 to the memory. Again the program counter is incremented. After the second isntruction is fetched and executed, the program counter sends address 0010 to the memory. In this way, the program counter is keeping track of the next instruction to be fetched and executed.

      The program counter is like someone pointing at a list of instruction, saying do this first, do this second, etc. This is why the program counter is sometimes called a pointer; it points to an address in memory where something important is being stored.

    Question: why do not use the following code in process?

     1 begin 
     2     if EP = '0' then 
     3         Q <= "ZZZZ";
     4     elsif CLR = '1' then 
     5         Q <= "0000";
     6         count <= "0000";
     7     elsif CP = '1' then
     8         if(CLK'event and CLK = '0') then
     9             if count < "1111" then 
    10                 count <= count + 1;
    11             else
    12                 count <= "0000";
    13             end if;
    14         end if;
    15     end if;
    16     
    17 end process;

     Answer: first code, line 40, Q <= count


    Own code for ASIC: use package ieee.numeric_std

    38         Q <= "ZZZZ"; -- not good, in ASIC use only std_logic signal state '0', '1'
    39     else        
    40         Q <= count;
    41     end if;
    42 
    43 end process; 
    44 
    45 end beh;

     Question: In ASIC design, why use only std_logic signal states '0', '1'(and 'Z' for FPGA)???
