Executing an instruction step-by step

This is the final step. The result from the ALU is fed back to the write port input of the register file. The write address is 00000010 (corresponding to r2) which is supplied by the instruction memory.

This is the final step.

The PC and register files are clocked. The contents of the PC change to the next value ready to fetch and execute a new instruction. The result from this current instruction, the new value or r2, is latched into the register file.
