Intro to Digital Technology
HARDWARE CONCEPTS
IT-IDT-4 Identify, describe, evaluate, select,
and use appropriate technology.
IT-IDT-5 Understand, communicate, and
adapt to a digital world.
 Electronic device that accepts, processes,
produces results, and stores data
 Data
◦ Collection of unprocessed items
 Text, numbers, images, audio, and video
 Information
◦ Conveys meaning and is useful
 Ex. Data is input to create a grade report
Input
Process
Output
Storage
 Hardware
◦ Electric, electronic, and mechanical components
 Input devices
 Output devices
 System unit
 Storage devices
 Communications devices
 Any hardware component that allows you to
enter data and instructions into a computer
◦ Keyboard
◦ Mouse
◦ Microphone
◦ Scanner
◦ Digital camera
◦ Web cam
 Any hardware component that conveys
information to one or more people
◦ Printer
◦ Monitor
◦ Speakers
◦ Portable media player
 A case that contains electronic components
of the computer used to process data
 Sometimes called system board
◦ Main circuit board of the system unit
◦ Many electronic components are attached to the
motherboard
◦ Expansion slots
◦ Processor chips
◦ Memory slots
 Interprets and carries out the basic
instructions that operate a computer
 Control Unit
◦ Component of processor that directs and
coordinates operations
◦ Like a traffic cop: it interprets each instruction
issued by a program and then initiates the
appropriate action to carry out the instruction
 Controls the timing of all operations
 Clock speed
◦ Pace of clock
◦ Gigahertz (GHz): one billion ticks of the system
clock per second
◦ Faster clock speed=more instructions the processor
can execute per second
 Does the system clock keep track of current
date and time?
 First computers: 30 MHz
 Current: 3 GHz
 Leading chip manufacturers
◦ Intel
◦ AMD (Advanced Micro Devices)
◦ IBM
◦ Motorola
 Today’s high performance PC’s: Intel Core
 Less expensive PC’s: Pentium or Celeron
 Multi-core processor
◦ Single chip with 2 or more processors
◦ Dual-core: 2 separate processors
◦ Quad-core: 4 separate processors
 Increases overall performance
 Especially noticeable when running multiple
programs
◦ Email, antivirus software, spyware remover, IM,
media player, CD burning software, and photo
editing software
 Store instructions, data needed by those
instructions, and the results of processed
data
 One or more chips on motherboard
 Stores 3 basic categories
◦ Operating system
◦ Application programs
◦ Data being processed by
application programs
 Character, basic
storage unit of
memory
 Each byte has an
address
◦ Unique number that
identifies the location
of the byte in
memory
 Random access memory
◦ Temporary memory
◦ More information processed = more RAM needed
◦ Volatile: loses its contents when power is removed
 Examples:
◦ Operating system interface
◦ Browser windows
◦ Paint program
 More RAM = faster response from computer
 Pronounced cash
 Temporary storage for faster viewing
◦ Ex. Web pages, images, media
 Read-only memory
 Permanent storage
 Non-volatile: not lost when power is removed
 Cannot be modified
◦ Ex. ROM chips in printers contain data for fonts
◦ Ex. When your system boots up
 Nonvolatile
 Fast
 Examples
◦ Downloading music on iTunes to your iPod
◦ Storing phone numbers on your phone
◦ Pagers
◦ Digital cameras
 Motherboard
 To enhance functions or provide connections
to devices
 Input
 Storage
 Processing
 Output

Editor's Notes

  1. No, the system clock does not keep track of real time. A separate battery backed chip, called the real-time clock, keeps track of the the date and time. It contiunies to run the real-time clock even when the computer is off.
  2. Software applications usually have a minimum requirement for RAM for the application to run properly. EX. Vista, Microsoft Office
  3. Port: a point in which peripheral attaches to or communicates with a system unit. Connectors: joins a cable to a port
