Hello Everyone!

During my research regarding CPU design I faced a question: Is it actually possible to extract data path components such as (adder, PC, registers, ...) from a given instruction set? As I understood by using ADL (Architecture description language) such as EXPRESSION, LISA …, where you can define all instructions, it is can be easily done.
Is it right, does anyone have an experience in this area?

Thanks
