Basic Concepts of
Microprocessors
• Differences between:
– Microcomputer – a computer with a
microprocessor as its CPU. Includes memory, I/O
etc.
– Microprocessor – silicon chip which includes
ALU, register circuits & control circuits
– Microcontroller – silicon chip which includes
microprocessor, memory & I/O in a single
package.
What is a Microprocessor?
• The word comes from the combination micro and
processor.
– Processor means a device that processes data
Micro
• Micro:
– In the late 1960’s, processors were built using discrete
elements.
– In the early 1970’s the microchip was invented.
– All of the components that made up the processor
were now placed on a single piece of silicon.
– The size became several thousand times smaller and
the speed became several hundred times faster. The
“Micro”Processor was born.
Definition of the Microprocessor
The microprocessor is a programmable device
that takes in numbers, performs on them
arithmetic or logical operations according to the
program stored in memory and then produces
other numbers as a result.
Definition (Contd.)
– Programmable device: The microprocessor can perform
different sets of operations on the data it receives depending
on the sequence of instructions supplied in the given
program.
By changing the program, the microprocessor manipulates
the data in different ways.
– Instructions: Each microprocessor is designed to execute a
specific group of operations. This group of operations is
called an instruction set. This instruction set defines what the
microprocessor can and cannot do.
Definition (Contd.)
– Takes in: The data that the microprocessor
manipulates must come from :
• It comes from what is called “input devices”.
• These are devices that bring data into the system
from the outside world.
• These represent devices such as a keyboard, a
mouse, switches, and the like.
