3. Microprocessor is an electronic chip, that function as the Central
Processing Unit (CPU) of a computer.
The word microprocessor comes from the combination micro and processor .
Where micro means small in size and processor is a device that process or
manipulate numbers, specifically binary numbers (o’s or 1’s). According to
instruction (program) stored In the memory .
Microprocessors contains both combinational logic and sequential digital
logic.
4. Microprocessors is a multipurpose, Programmable, clock
driven , register based , digital integrated circuit that accepts
binary data as input, processes it and according to instructions
stored in its memory and provides results as output.
Programmable: Perform different set of operation on the data
depending on the sequence of instructions supplied by the
programmer.
5. Clock Driven: Microprocessor is a device which executes in
sequential order. In order to correctly execute the instruction,
microprocessor follows certain steps: fetch , decode and executes . And
in order to correctly follow those steps , microprocessor needs to
activate different components in different time. And how does
microprocessor know when to do what ? It uses clock.
Register based : storage based.
8. The first microprocessor was introduced in 1971 by Intel crop . It was
named Intel 4004 as it was a 4 bit processor . It was a processor on a
single chip . It perform simple arithmetic and logic operations such as
addition, subtraction , Boolean AND, Boolean OR.
The first 8 bit microprocessor which could perform arithmetic and logic
operations on 8 bit words was introduced in 1973 again by Intel.
This was Intel 8008 and was later followed by an improved
version, Intel 8008,8005 in 1977 some other 8 bit processors are
Zilog-80 and Motorola M6800
9. The 8 bit microprocessors were followed by 16 bit processors.
They are Intel 8086 in 1978 and 80286.
The 32 bit microprocessors were introduced by several
companies but the most popular one is Intel 80386.
10. In all processor 8085 and 8086 are the most
successful commercial processor introduced by Intel .
8085 is a complete microprocessor but not more
powerful and 8086 is the most powerful
microprocessor.
