Embedded System Microprocessor
A microprocessor is a computer processor that consists of datapath and control unit. The
datapath is a collection of functional units such as arithmetic logic units (ALU) or
multipliers, that perform data processing operations, registers, and buses. The control
unit tells the computer's memory, arithmetic and logic unit and input and output devices
how to respond to the instructions that are to be executed.
