Anyone wanting to learn more about Microcode in general, I found two old books that has some information: * Bit-Slice Design: Controllers and ALUs, Donnamaie White * Bit-Slice Microprocessor Design, Mick and Brick
on “IBM 5110 PALM (Put All Logic in Microcode) CPU from 1978” ↗Here are some old books on bit-slice processors. Very interesting reading. Bit-Slice Design: Controllers and ALUs by Donnamaie E. White Bit-Slice Microprocessor Design by John Mick and James Brick
on “Inside the Am2901: AMD's 1970s bit-slice processor” ↗Look for Bit Slice Design by Donnamaie E. White or the "Mick & Brick" bitslice book. Both take you through simple but non-trivial microcode use cases.
