Lec 1 Introduction To Miocroprocessor

The document provides an introduction to microprocessors and their basic components. It discusses the evolution of microprocessors from 4 to 64 bytes and defines common data size terms like nibble, byte, word, and longword. The key components of a microprocessor are described as the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), control unit, register sets, accumulator, condition code register, program counter, and stack pointer. It also explains the function of the data bus, address bus, and control bus and how microprocessors use a clock system. Examples of early microprocessors like the Intel 8085 and 8086 are provided.

data//information, and provides output in a useful format.

WHAT IS MICROPROCESSOR?
 The integrated circuit which contain all the function of
the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of a computer is
known as Microprocessor.

5
BASIC COMPONENT OF MICROCOMPUTER
1. CPU - Central Processing Unit
 the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a
computer program
 the primary element carrying out the computer's functions. It is the
unit that reads and executes program instructions.
 The data in the instruction tells the processor what to do.

Pentium D dual core processors

2. Memory
 physical devices used to store data or programs.
 Computer main memory comes in two principal varieties:
random-access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM).
 RAM can be read and written to anytime the CPU commands it, but
ROM is pre-loaded with data and software that never changes, so the
CPU can only read from it.
 ROM is typically used to store the computer's initial start-up
instructions.
 In general, the contents of RAM are erased when the power to the
computer is turned off, but ROM retains its data indefinitely.
 In a PC, the ROM contains a specialized program called the BIOS that
orchestrates loading the computer's operating system from the hard disk
drive into RAM whenever the computer is turned on or reset.

3. I/O Unit

 Input/output (I/O), refers to the communication between an


information processing system (such as a computer), and the outside
world possibly a human, or another information processing system.
 Inputs are the signals or data received by the system, and outputs are
the signals or data sent from it
 Devices that provide input or output to the computer are called
peripherals
 On a typical personal computer, peripherals include input devices like
the keyboard and mouse, and output devices such as the display and
printer. Hard disk drives, floppy disk drives and optical disc drives
serve as both input and output devices. Computer networking is another
form of I/O.

ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC UNIT (ALU)
 The component that performs the arithmetic and logical
operations
 the most important components in a microprocessor, and
is typically the part of the processor that is designed first.
 able to perform the basic logical operations (AND, OR),
including the addition operation.

11
INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF ALU

2 bits of ALU 4 bits of ALU 12


CONTROL UNIT
 The circuitry that controls the flow of information
through the processor, and coordinates the activities of
the other units within it.
 In a way, it is the "brain within the brain", as it controls
what happens inside the processor, which in turn controls
the rest of the PC.
 On a regular processor, the control unit performs the
tasks of fetching, decoding, managing execution and
then storing results.

13
REGISTER SETS
 The register section/array consists completely of circuitry
used to temporarily store data or program codes until
they are sent to the ALU or to the control section or to
memory.

 The number of registers are different for any particular


CPU and the more register a CPU have will result in
easier programming tasks.

 Registers are normally measured by the number of bits


they can hold, for example, an "8-bit register" or a "32-bit
register". 14
ACCUMULATOR
 a register in which intermediate arithmetic and logic
results are stored.
 example for accumulator use is summing a list of
numbers.
 The accumulator is initially set to zero, then each number in
turn is added to the value in the accumulator.
 Only when all numbers have been added is the result held in
the accumulator written to main memory or to another, non-
accumulator, CPU register.

15
DATA BUS
 The data bus is 'bi-directional'
 data or instruction codes from memory or
input/output.are transferred into the microprocessor
 the result of an operation or computation is sent out
from the microprocessor to the memory or input/output.
 Depending on the particular microprocessor, the
data bus can handle 8 bit or 16 bit data.

16
ADDRESS BUS
 The address bus is 'unidirectional', over which the
microprocessor sends an address code to the memory or
input/output.
 The size (width) of the address bus is specified by the
number of bits it can handle.
 The more bits there are in the address bus, the more
memory locations a microprocessor can access.
 A 16 bit address bus is capable of addressing 65,536
(64K) addresses.

17
CONTROL BUS
 The control bus is used by the microprocessor to send
out or receive timing and control signals in order to
coordinate and regulate its operation and to
communicate with other devices, i.e. memory or
input/output.

18
LIFE CYCLE OF A MICROPROCESSOR

19
MICRO PROCESSOR CLOCK
 Also called clock rate, the speed at which
a microprocessor executes instructions.
Every computer contains an internal clock
that regulates the rate at which instructions
are executed and synchronizes all the
various computer components.
