I'm trying to self-learn Computer Architecture and I understand that in a Von Neuman architecture that a control unit. My question is does control wires on schematics link back to the control unit circuitry, if so is it safe to infer that all control wires originate from the CU?
Additionally, are clock signals synonymous with control wires because I don't see how they are but perhaps I'm misunderstanding.
Thank you
Edit* When I say schematics, I mean electronic schematics and I picture little control wires flowing intra(inside the CPU) and outside the CPU(to say memory) conducting all the flow of data. Is this a right the right mental abstraction I should be taking here?
