A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Microprocessor architecture and organisation

Microprocessor architecture and organisation deals with how a processor is structured internally and how its main parts cooperate to execute instructions. For exams, you must master the roles of units such as the ALU, control unit, registers, buses, memory interface, and timing of the fetch-decode-execute cycle because many questions test both definitions and how data actually flows inside the CPU.
