K KaRyu New Member Feb 14, 2013 #1 HI! In our lecture on microprocessor, the fetch cycle goes like this: Fetch1: AR <- PC Fetch2: DR <- Mem, PC <- PC + 1 Fetch3: IR <- DR, AR <- PC Is it possible to reduce the fetch cycle into 2 states or 1 state? I am thinking of removing the Address Register and tapping the Program counter directly into the memory. Is that possible?
