Study Notes
Processor Architecture
- Parallel processing of multiple instructions is facilitated by the concept of pipelining.
Arduino Board
- The pinMode() function is used to set a specific pin on an Arduino board to input or output mode.
ARM Processors
- The primary difference between ARM7 and ARM7TDMI processors lies in the integration of a Thumb Decay Unit (TDMI) in the latter.
Microprocessor History
- Intel introduced the first microprocessor, the Intel 4004, in 1971.
- The clock speed of the Intel 4004 was 740 kHz.
Microprocessor Performance
- Improvements in microprocessor performance have been fueled by advancements in semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Integrated Circuit Complexity
- The limitation on the complexity of an integrated circuit is governed by Rent's Rule, which describes the relationship between the number of pins and the number of transistors.
Processor Selection
- Key considerations during processor selection for a Digital System include performance, power consumption, cost, and development time.
