The document discusses the applications of microprocessors. It explains that microprocessors are used as the central processing unit in microcomputers to perform computing tasks and make decisions. Microprocessors are commonly used in embedded systems and reactive systems to control external hardware and events in applications like consumer electronics, home appliances, automotive systems, medical instrumentation, industrial automation, communication devices, and more. The document provides examples of microprocessors being used for functions like speed control of motors, traffic light control, instrument measurement, appliance operation, building automation, and other control systems.

2. MICROPROCESSOR
• The microprocessor is a programmable
integrated device that has computing and
decision-making capability similar to that
of the central processing unit(CPU) of the
computer.
• When microprocessor works as a CPU, then
the system is called a microcomputer. A
microcontroller is a small computer on the
single integrated ckt. Containing a
processor core, memory, and programmable
input/output peripherals.

3. µP Applications & Real-time Systems
• Microprocessors are used to handle a set of tasks that
control one or more external events or systems.
• Microprocessors are typically used in either reactive or
embedded systems.
– Reactive systems are those that have an ongoing interaction
with their environment - for example, a fire-control system that
constantly reacts to buttons pressed by a pilot.
– Embedded systems are those used to control specialized
hardware in which the computer system is installed - for
example, the microprocessor system used to control the fuel/air
mixture in the carburetor of many automobiles.
• In embedded systems the software system is completely
encapsulated by the hardware that it controls.

4. µP AS A PROGRAMMABLE DEVICE
• The fact that the µP is programmed means it
can be instructed to perform given tasks
within its capability. Similarly, today’s µP is
designed to understand and execute the
instructions. A programmer can select apt
instructions and ask the µP to perform various
tasks on a given set of data.

5. µP AS A CPU
• A computer with a microprocessor as its CPU
is known as a Microcomputer. The terms µP
and µP unit(MPU) are often used
synonymously. MPU implies a complete
processing unit with the necessary control
signals. But because of less pins, some of the
signals need to be generated by using discrete
devices to make the µP a complete functional
unit or MPU.

6. SOME EXCLUSIVE APPLICATIONS
• The impact of microprocessor in different
lures of fields is significant. The availability of
low cost, low power and small weight ,
computing capability makes it useful in
different applications. Now a days , a
microprocessor based systems are used in
instructions, automatic testing product, speed
control of motors , traffic light control , light
control of furnaces etc. Some of the important
areas are mentioned below :

7. • Instrumentation:
It is very useful in the field of instrumentation.
Frequency counters, function generators, frequency
synthesizers, spectrum analyses and many other
instruments are available , when microprocessors are
used as controller. It is also used in medical
instrumentation.
• Control :
Microprocessor based controllers are available in home
appliances, such as microwave oven, washing machine
etc., microprocessors are being used in controlling
various parameters like speed, pressure, temperature
etc. These are used with the help of suitable
transduction.

8. • Communication :
Microprocessors are being used in a wide range of
communication equipments. In telephone industry , these are
used in digital telephone sets. Telephone exchanges and
modem etc. The use of microprocessor in television, satellite
communication have made teleconferencing possible. Railway
reservation and air reservation system also uses this
technology. LAN and WAN for communication of vertical
information through computer network.
• Office Automation and Publication :
Microprocessor based micro computer with software
packages has changed the office environment.
Microprocessors based systems are being used for word
processing, spread sheet operations, storage etc. The
microprocessor has revolutionize the publication technology.

9. • Consumer : The use of microprocessor in toys,
entertainment equipment and home applications is
making them more entertaining and full of features.
The use of microprocessors is more widespread and
popular.
• Other uses of Microprocessors in various fields are:
• In Home Appliances
Refrigeration
Cooking
