Microprocessor and Microcontroller Concepts Quiz

Paging = Memory management mechanism in protected mode TLB = Translation Lookaside Buffer for address translation CR0 to CR4 = Control Registers used to enable paging PG flag = Controls paging with bit 31 of CR0

Segmentation = Protection by segmentation, page level protection Privilege Levels = Rules of inter-privilege level transfer for data and code segments Linear to Physical Address Translation = Support registers, related data structures Paging Options = Paging controlled by three flags in the processor’s control registers

Microprocessor = Executes instructions and performs processing tasks Microcontroller = Embedded device with a CPU and other peripherals on a single chip Physical Memory = Divided in pages of size 4KB Page Table = Maps virtual addresses to physical addresses

<p>Linear Address = Address generated by the CPU Physical Address = Actual location in the memory hardware Page Number = Identifier for a specific page in memory Page Table Entry = Contains the mapping between virtual and physical addresses</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Paging = Enables memory to be divided into fixed-size pages Protection = Safeguards memory and prevents unauthorized access Privilege Levels = Determine the level of access rights for segments CR3 Register = Stores the base address of the page directory</p> Signup and view all the answers
