Abstract
A microcomputer MCU adopting the general purpose register method is enabled to have a small program capacity or a high program memory using efficiency and a low system cost, while enjoying the advantage of simplification of the instruction decoding as in the RISC machine having a fixed length instruction format of the prior art, by adopting a fixed length instruction format having a power of 2 but a smaller bit number than that of the maximum data word length fed for instruction execution. And, the control of the coded division is executed by noting the code bits.
