Multi-cycle processor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A multi-cycle processor is a processor that carries out one instruction over multiple clock cycles, often without starting up a new instruction in that time (as opposed to a pipelined processor).[1][2][3][4]
The Wikibook Microprocessor Design has a page on the topic of: Multi Cycle Processors
