Study Notes
Microprocessor Components
- A microprocessor contains the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), registers, and control unit.
- It integrates the entire Central Processing Unit (CPU) onto a single or a few integrated circuits.
Microprocessor Technology
- Microprocessor technology is based on Integrated Circuit (IC) technology, which greatly reduced the cost of processing power.
- IC technology allows for the integration of a whole CPU onto a single or a few integrated circuits.
Microprocessor Logic
- Microprocessors contain digital logic, which is based on binarydecision-making (0s and 1s).
Microprocessor Input
- Microprocessors accept digital data, such as binary digits (bits), as input.
- Input data can be instructions, operands, or addresses.
Microprocessor Output
- Microprocessors provide output in the form of processed data, results, or control signals.
- Output can be sent to memory, input/output devices, or other components of the computer system.
