Study Notes
Data Conversion and Language
- The Input Unit is responsible for converting user data into a format that computers can understand.
- Computers primarily understand binary language, which consists of 0s and 1s.
Output and Storage Functions
- The primary function of the Output Unit is to present processed data to the user in a readable format.
- The Storage Unit is responsible for holding data and instructions for both short-term and long-term use.
Arithmetic & Logic Unit (ALU)
- The Arithmetic & Logic Unit (ALU) performs mathematical calculations and logical operations necessary for processing data.
Device Requests to CPU
- A special request from a device to the CPU for processing time is known as an interrupt.
Printer Technologies
- Impact printers, such as dot matrix printers, print one line at a time using a solid cylindrical drum.
- Laser printers produce high-quality text and images by using laser technology to fuse toner onto paper.
Monitor Types and Advantages
- CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors resemble traditional televisions and are commonly used with non-portable computer setups.
- LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitors offer a significant advantage over CRT monitors in terms of size, weight, and energy efficiency.
