The document discusses the components and functions of a microprocessor in a microcomputer system. It describes the main parts of a microprocessor as the ALU, registers, and control unit. The microprocessor reads instructions from memory, accepts data as input, processes the data according to instructions, and provides results as output. Other components that interface with the microprocessor are memory for storing instructions and data, input/output devices for transferring data to and from the external world, and system buses for communication between components. The primary functions of the CPU are to fetch, decode and execute instructions, transfer data, respond to interrupts, and provide timing/control signals.

3. Introduction
Microprocessor is a multipurpose, programmable
logic device that reads binary Instructions from
storage device called Memory.
It accept binary data as input and process that
data according to those instruction given by the
user and provide result as output.
The microcomputer is one of the ‘Microprocessor
based System’ the following diagram shows the
block diagram of microcomputer
6. ALU
ALU stands for Arithmetic and Logical unit
This area of microprocessor used to
perform various computing function on data
It perform arithmetic operation such as
Addition, Subtraction and Logical operation
such as AND, OR and EXCLUSIVE OR.
After completion of operation the results
either stored in registers or Memory
7. Registers
This area of microprocessor consist of
various registers
Registers used to store the temporary
value during the execution
Some of registers are accessible to user
using instruction
8. Control Unit
It provides accessory timing and control
signals to all the operations of
microcomputer.
It controls flow of instructions or data
Microprocessor and Memory and
Peripheral
9. Memory
It stores the binary information such as
instructions and data, and provide this
information to the microprocessor
whenever it require
During execution of program the
microprocessor reads instruction and data
form the memory and perform operation in
its ALU Section
The result is either stores in memory for
later use or either send it to output devices
10. Input ad output
This section communicate with the outside
world
It is also know as peripheral devices
The input devices keyboard, analog to digital
converter devices used to transfer data from
outside world to microprocessor
The output devices LED’s, CRT’s, printer,
plotter, or digital to analog converter these
devices used to transfer data microprocessor to
outside world
11. System Bus
The system bus used to communication
between microprocessor and
peripherals and memory
It is the group of wires to carry the bits.
In microcomputer we use several
system buses to travel data
12. Primary functions of CPU
To fetch, decode and execute the
instruction of program in proper order
Transfer data to or from memory as well
as I/O devices
Responds to external interrupts.
Provide overall time and control signals
to entire system
All processing and data flow is done in
the system with mpu chip
