    In microinstruction format, microoperation field is divided into two subfields F1, F2, each having 15 distinct micro-operations, condition field CD for 4 status bits, branch field BR having four options used in conjunction with address field AD. The address space is of 128 memory locations.i.e:
    F1, F2 each having 15 distinct micro-operation. So, 4 bits are required for each.
    Condition field have 4 status, it needs 2 bits for four different condition.
    Branch field have 4 option so, it needs 2 bits for four option.
    Now there are 128 different memory location, So, there 7 bits are required for 128 different location.
    So, in Total : 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 7 = 19 Bits required.
