In other words, MAR holds the memory location of data that needs to be accessed. When reading from memory, data addressed by MAR is fed into the MDR (memory data register) and then used by the CPU. When writing to memory, the CPU writes data from MDR to the memory location whose address is stored in MAR.
The Memory Address Register is half of a minimal interface between a microprogram and computer storage. The other half is a memory data register.
Far more complex memory interfaces exist, but this is the least that can work.
The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.

Write short notes on Registers.
A buffer register is the simplest kind of register; all it does is store a digital information temporarily. It holds the contents of the memory which are to be transferred from memory to other components. By acting as a buffer, it allows the central processor and memory units to operate independently without being affected by minor differences in operation. See the related link for more information.

A small high speed memory unit for storing temporary results is usually a register but can also be referred to as cache or a buffer
An Instruction Buffer Register is also known as IBR. It registers a computer's processor or its Central Processing Unit (CPU).
A memory mapped register is a register that has its specific address stored in a known memory location.
