    Study Notes

    Microprocessor Components

    • The component not part of the CPU in a microprocessor is the memory.

    Microcontroller vs Microprocessor

    • A microcontroller is distinguished from a microprocessor by having internal memory and peripherals.

    8051 Microcontroller

    • The 8051 microcontroller has a unique feature of being 8-bit and having 4KB of on-chip program memory.

    Stack Pointer (SP)

    • The Stack Pointer (SP) in a microprocessor is responsible for keeping track of the top of the stack, which is a region of memory that stores data and program counters.

    Memory Decoders

    • The primary purpose of memory decoders in a microprocessor system is to provide a unique address to each location in memory, enabling the CPU to access the required memory location.
