14 years agoThe 'Fetch' cycle reads the opcode word from memory, the register values must be read in the following cycle - the 'Decode' cycle - in order to be available during 'Execute'.
This read will be unconditional, the only question is the actual condition(s) for a 'D' phase stall (ie a re-execute for the same opcode word).
