1-bit computing

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Guy Harris (talk | contribs) at 07:13, 1 August 2012 (Link to somebody's copy of the MC14500 ICU's data sheet.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In computer architecture, 1-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 1 bits (1/8 octets) wide. Also, 1-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. An example of a 1-bit architecture actually marketed as a CPU is Motorola's MC14500 Industrial Control Unit.[1] There are also several design studies for 1-bit architectures in academia, and corresponding 1-bit logic can also be found in programming.

Another example of 1-bit architectures are programmable logic controllers.
