 Introduction

• The microprocessor is one of the most important components of a

digital computer.
• It acts as the brain of the computer system
• As technology has progressed, microprocessors have become faster,
smaller and capable of doing more work per clock cycle.
• microprocessor is written as µP
• µ is pronounced as Mu
• Microprocessor is the controlling unit or CPU of a micro-computer,

fabricated on a very small chip capable of performing ALU

operations and communicating with the external devices connected
to it.

 Computer

• Accepts the data from the user

• Stores the data and the set of instructions supplied by the user in memory
• Processes the data according to the instructions in the processing unit
• Communicates the result to the user or stores it for further reference

 Computer

• A computer has the following units

• Input Unit
• Output Unit
• Memory Unit
• Central Processing Unit

 Microcomputer

• A digital computer, in which one microprocessor has been provided to

act as a CPU, is called Microcomputer.

• A desktop computer, laptop, notebook, palmtop, etc. contain one

microprocessor to act as a CPU and hence they come under the category of
microcomputer.

• The term microcomputer is generally synonymous with personal computer.

• A computer with a microprocessor as its CPU, is known as microcomputer

 Multiprocessor System

• The CPU of a large powerful digital computer contains more than

one microprocessor.

• High-end powerful servers, mainframe computers,

supercomputers, etc. contain more than one microprocessor to
act as CPU.

• A computer whose CPU contains more than one

microprocessor is called Multiprocessor System.

9/10/2020 Dept of CSE,SSET 9

 Microcontroller

• A highly integrated chip that contains all the components such as

CPU, RAM, some form of ROM, I/O ports, and timers is called
Microcontroller.

• Unlike a general-purpose computer, which also includes all of these

components, a microcontroller is designed for a very specific
task to control a particular system.

9/10/2020 Dept of CSE,SSET 10

 Microprocessor

• The central processing unit built on a single IC is called

Microprocessor.

• A microprocessor is a digital electronic component with

miniaturized transistors on a single semiconductor integrated circuit
(IC).

•One or more microprocessors typically serve as a central processing

unit (CPU) in a computer system or handheld device.
• A microprocessor is a LSI (large scale integration) IC that does almost
all the functions of the CPU.

9/10/2020 Dept of CSE,SSET 11

 • The basic function of the microprocessor is
• To fetch the instructions stored in the main memory
• Identify the operations and the devices involved in it and
accordingly generate control signals to determine when a given
action is to take place.

 Microprocessor Characteristics

• Instruction Set
• Bandwidth
• Capability
• Clock speed
• Word Length
• Width of Data Bus
• Width of Address Bus
• Input/Output Addressing Capability
• Data Types
• Interrupt Capability

 Microprocessor Characteristics

Instruction Set:
The set of instructions that a microprocessor can understand.
Bandwidth:
The number of bits processed in a single instruction.
Capability:
It depends upon the number of instructions and capability of each instruction.
Width of Data Bus:
This is the size of the data bus. It defines the number of bits that can be
transferred through data bus.
Width of Address Bus:
This parameter decides the memory addressing capability of the
microprocessor. The maximum size of the memory unit is decided by this
parameter.

 Microprocessor Characteristics
Clock speed:
• The clock speed determines how many operations per second the
processor can perform.
• It is also called Clock Rate.
• Every computer contains an internal clock that regulates the rate at
which instructions are executed and synchronizes the various computer
components.
• The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per
second.
• Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz).
• The microprocessors of personal computers have clock speeds of
anywhere from 300 MHz to over 3.8 GHz.

9/10/2020 Dept of CSE,SSET 15

 Microprocessor Characteristics

Word Length:
• It depends upon the width of internal data bus,registers, ALU etc.
• An 8-bit microprocessor can process 8 bit data at a time.
• A processor with longer word length is more powerful and can process
data at a faster speed as compared to processor with shorter word length.
• The word length ranges from 4 bits for small microprocessor, to 64 bits
for high-end microcomputers

9/10/2020 Dept of CSE,SSET 16

 Microprocessor Characteristics

Input/Output Addressing Capability:

• The maximum number of the input/output ports accessed by the
microprocessor depends upon the width of the input/output address provided
in the input/output instruction.

Data Types:

• The microprocessor handles various types of data formats like binary, BCD,
ASCII, signed and unsigned numbers
Interrupt Capability:
• Interrupts are used to handle unpredictable and random events in the
microcomputer.

• It is used to interrupt the microprocessor.

• Interrupt driven input/output improves the throughput of a system.

9/10/2020 Dept of CSE,SSET 17

 Microprocessor Characteristics

Power Consumption:
• Another important feature is its low power consumption.
• Microprocessors are normally manufactured by Metal-Oxide semiconductor
technology, which has the feature of low power consumption.
Versatility:
• The microprocessors are versatile.
• Keeping the same basic hardware, a microprocessor-based system can be
configured for a number of applications by simply altering the software
program.

Reliability:
• Another important property of microprocessors is its extreme reliability.
• It has been established that the failure rate of an IC is fairly uniform at the
package level, regardless of its complexity.
