transfers the
data on the PC
(program
counter) through
the address bus.
- PC (Program counter) is where

be executed.
- CIR (Current Information
Register) is where the
information from the MDR
is held after it has been
executed.

to make sure components
are present in the system
and when it is completed it
boots up system but if it
