    The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor. A CU typically uses a binary decoder to convert coded instructions into timing and control signals that direct the operation of the other units (memory, arithmetic logic unit and input and output devices, etc.).

  3. Control Unit (CU) Definition - TechTerms.com

    techterms.com/definition/control_unit

    A control unit (CU) is an integrated circuit in a processor that controls the input and output. It receives instructions from a program, then passes them to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The ALU performs the appropriate calculations and sends the resulting values back to the control unit.
