Block Diagram of Computer (MBA-I)

The document provides a block diagram overview of the basic components of a computer system. It describes the input, storage, central processing, and output units. The input unit accepts and converts data to binary form. The storage unit holds data both temporarily in primary storage and permanently in secondary storage. The central processing unit processes data through its arithmetic logic unit and control unit. The arithmetic logic unit performs arithmetic and logical operations while the control unit manages the sequence of operations. The output unit converts and provides the processed results.

Computer
Computer

is a device that receives input, processes it and generates the desired output.
Input

can be anything like bio-data of various applicants when the computer is used for recruiting the employees, or the marks of various students when the computer is used to prepare result.

Input Unit
Input unit performs following functions:

It accepts data and instructions from the user.

It converts that data in computer acceptable form i.e. binary form. This conversion is accomplished by units called Input Interfaces.

It supplies the converted data to computer for further processing.

Storage Unit
The

process of saving data permanently in the computer is known as Storage.


Storage

unit is used to store data before and after processing. Intermediate results of processing are also stored.

Storage unit is comprised of following two types of storage:1)

Primary Storage:-It is known as main memory which holds that information on which computer is currently working. It is volatile memory i.e. data is lost when the power is switched off.

2.

Secondary Storage:-It is known as auxiliary storage which stores data permanently. It is nonvolatile in nature i.e. it can retain data when the power is turned off.

Central Processing Unit


CPU

has two parts:1. ALU 2. CU(Control Unit)

CPU takes data from the storage unit and processes it.

Arithmetic Logical Unit


The actual processing of data is done by ALU. ALU is used to perform the arithmetic and logical operations. ALU performs the following major operations:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Logical Comparison

Control Unit
The

control unit determines the sequence in which computer programs and instructions are executed. The control unit is the manager of all computer operations. It manages and co-ordinates the entire computer system.

Output Unit
Output unit performs following functions:

It accepts the result produced by computer. It converts that result to human readable form. This conversion is done by the units called Output Interfaces. It supplies the converted result to the user.
