Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
At which step of F-D-E cycle, does the CPU refer to its Instruction Set Table?
A
Fetch step
B
Decode step
C
Execute step
D
All through F-D-E cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The second phase of the instruction cycle is called a Decode Phase . The control unit of the CPU decodes the program instruction once it is fetched into the instruction register ( IR ) .

Detailed explanation-2: -The essential idea of the FDE cycle is that instructions are fetched from RAM decoded executed by the CPU.

Detailed explanation-3: -To execute an instruction, the processor copies the instruction code from the program memory into the instruction register (IR). It can then be decoded (interpreted) by the instruction decoder, which is a combinational logic block which sets up the processor control lines as required.
