 Basic Computer Organisation

A computer is an electronic device, under the control of

instructions stored in its memory that can accept data
(input), process the data according to specified
rules(Program) on processor & produces information
(output), and store the information for future use
Data vs Information
Data are raw numbers or other findings which, by themselves, are of
limited value.
Information is data that has been converted into a meaningful and
useful context.
Computers are being used extensively nowadays in
everyday life/every field
In the form of laptop, desktop, smartphone,gadgets etc.

Central processing unit – Comprises three parts

1. Arithmetic/Logic Unit
Performs basic arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction
Performs logical operations such as AND, OR, and NOT. Most modern ALUs
have a small amount of special storage units called registers that can be
accessed faster than main memory.
2. Control unit
It organizes the computer to work computer as single unit & generates
control signals for various devices regarding read/write or execute operation
3. Memory
A collection of cells, each with a unique physical address
Most computers are byte-addressable

Input Devices
Input devices can send data or information to a computer or another device.
Keyboard: It is an input device which sends data in to the computer. The data send depends on the
key pressed by the user.
Mouse: A mouse is a small handheld input device which controls a cursor in a graphical user
interface. It can move and select text, files, folders etc. on our computer according to the user
input.
Scanner: Scanner optically reads and document, file or image and then changes it into digital
signal and sends to the computer.
OMR: optical mark recognition/ reader, is used to read marks on a document and send them to
computer.
OCR: OCR stands for optical character Recognition, is an input device which reads printed text and
sends that to computer.
MICR: Magnetic Ink Character Reader is an input device which generally finds application is banks
to process cheques.
Microphone: it receives audio generated by some input source and sends the same to a computer.
Webcam: it sends the captured images to a computer.
Graphics Tablets: This input device is used to draw using hand.
Trackballs: an upside down mouse ,encased within a socket. Is a cursor control device.
Barcode reader: It is used to read the barcode of various items and feed the same to computer.
Gamepad: Also known as joy pad is the input controller for video games.
Joystick: these input devices are used to control video games.

Output Devices
A device that can receive data from computer or another device
and create output with that data is called output device.
Examples of various output devices are as :
Monitor: A monitor is an output device that is responsible for
receiving data from a computer and displaying that information
as text or images for users to see.
Speakers: Receives sound signal from a computer and then
plays that sound signal and thus we hear songs or music or any
other audio.
Projector: Gets data from a computer and displays or projects
the same information onto a screen or a wall. Projector cannot
directly accept data from a user and send that data to another
device.

 Basic Computer Organisation
Both Input / Output Devices
An input/output device is capable of receiving data from users or another devices
and also sending data to another devices or computers. That means a devices
which can be used as both input device and output device are called Input / Output
(I/O) devices. Some examples of input/output devices are as:
USB drive: Also known as pen drive or flash stick works as both input device to
computer and as an output device. USB drives receive or save data from a
computer as an input and it can also send data to a computer or another device.
Facsimile: Facsimile or FAX machine has a scanner which is an input device and a
small printer to provide output.
Modems: It is used to transmit and receive data from one computer to another
computer or other devices using telephone lines
CD-RW drives and DVD-RW drives: Receives data from a computer as input to copy
onto and save into writable CD or DVD. We also use CDs or DVDs to transfer data
to a computer.
Touch Screen: Touch screen is both input and output device. By touching the screen
input is provided and being a screen, it is used as an output device.
Headsets: Headset consists of speaker as an output device and microphone
functions as an input device.

 Mobile System organization

Different types of touchscreen

1.TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD display is used for better image quality and high resolution.
Since they are cheap to manufacture, they are found in budget phones usually.
2. IPS (In-Place Switching) LCDs are somewhat the advanced version of TFT LCDs in a way
that they offer improved displays and are more battery friendly. Hence, they are found in
high end phones.
3. RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE
There are generally two types of touchscreen LCD displays; Resistive and Capacitive.
Resistive touchscreen has two layers of conductive material with a small gap between
them while capacitive touchscreen consists of a layer of glass coated with transparent
conductor. Capacitive screens tend to be more responsive than resistive screens and are
therefore found in high end phones mostly.
4.OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a newer technology used in mobiles and monitors
for display. They are better than LCDs because they offer fast response times, wider
viewing angles and higher brightness. AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting
Diode) and SUPER AMOLED displays are types of OLED display.
OLED types include passive-matrix OLEDs, active-matrix LEDs and transparent OLEDs

Smartphone Batteries and Their Types

Battery plays a huge role in any smartphone
Lithium Polymer batteries are the most advanced batteries available in the market
right now. They are made up of plastic instead of metal, which makes them usable on
a smartphone of any type.The Lithium Polymer batteries do not suffer from memory
effect and offer 40 percent more battery life than others
Lithium ion batteries are advanced and allow for a high charge capacity based on the
size and weight of the battery. However, these these are slightly expensive. these
lithium ion batteries will not remember the charge cycle, and as a result, the battery
capacity will not be reduced.
Nickel Cadmium These are the cells that suffer from memory effect. And, the memory
effect will result in reducing the capacity of the battery and its lifespan as well.
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are kind of an upgrade to the Nickel Cadmium
batteries, and they boast of the same size as the latter. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries
offer 30 to 40 percent more battery juice than the others
Battery Size : Measured in mAh.like 2000 mAh,4000 mAh etc.

Functions of different components of mobile device
RF transceiver – Receive and send radio signal from to mobile device
with mobile network(tower).
SIM - A subscriber identity module is an integrated circuit that store
the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its
related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on
mobile telephony devices. It is also possible to store contact
information on many SIM cards.
battery pack - batteries are miracles of chemical engineering, holding
huge amounts of energy to keep mobile devices running for hours.
Battery management - an electronic system that manages a
rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the
battery from operating outside its safe operating area[clarification
needed], monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting
that data

secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current
through it.
Touch interface – either keyboard based where user have to press key
and commands are given to mobile device or touchscreen based
where user touch the screen to give commands.
Communication processor - is used to create an interface between
radio signal management and APU / GPU.
APU – a microprocessor processes application based data.

Functions of different components of mobile device

A Phone's memory. - It includes RAM and ROM. RAM equals the
memory (or memory bar) of the computer, while ROM is the device's
internal storage, equaling the hard disk of the computer. The bigger
the RAM, the more software the phone runs smoothly; While the
bigger the ROM, the more platform data it can store.
Camera unit – different components to take picture like lens/image
signal processor etc.
External storage - in some cases, mostly android or windows OS,
phones support an external microSD card to further expand the
storage available by default.
