KUE-CHIP: a microprocessor for education of computer architecture and LSI design

KUE-CHIP (Kyoto University Education CHIP), an 8-bit microprocessor designed for LSI design courses at universities, is described. KUE-CHIP is useful for helping students understand how hardware operates in a microprocessor chip. KUE-CHIP was developed using commercial ASIC technology, It was found that KUE-CHIP was small scale and easily testable but had fundamental functions of commercial microprocessors.<>
