Order Coder
The Order Coder is a collection of OR gates which simply combine one or more of the individual instructions to simplify logic elsewhere. In some cases no gate is involved and the logic is simply a renaming of the signal. In other cases, up to 7 inputs may be combined (C26). The signal OP-P is not strictly a valid instruction. However, it is produced during the instruction fetch phase of the MCU, and is treated as one of the instructions that read data (in this case the instruction) from memory. No logic diagram for the Order Coder is given in the Report, the text simply says that it is a collection of adding diodes and cathode followers. The above is therefore a simple interpretation of this; it is difficult to see how it could have been otherwise.
