    Introduction to
    Microprocessors
    • A microprocessor
    is a programmable
    logic device with a
    designed set of
    instructions.

    Microprocessors - Introduction to Microprocessors 4


    • It contains three
    primary
    components:
    • processing unit
    (ALU),
    • memory, and
    • input and output
    (I/O).

    Microprocessors - Introduction to Microprocessors 5


    • Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU)
    - performs arithmetic operations such as
    addition and subtraction, and, logic
    operations such as AND, IOR and XOR.
    • Memory
    - storage of instructions and data.
    • Input and output (I/O)
    - analogue or digital; for external
    communication.
    Microprocessors - Introduction to Microprocessors 6
    Microprocessors,
    Microcontrollers and DSPs
    Microprocessors • Microprocessor is
    an “umbrella” term
    for all types of
    processor.
    • Microcontrollers
    and DSPs evolved
    Microcontrollers DSPs from the original
    microprocessors.

    Microcontrollers
    • processors specifically designed for
    control applications.
    DSPs
    • processors specifically designed for
    digital signal processing.
    Microprocessors
    • processors for general purpose
    processing.

    Microprocessors - Introduction to Microprocessors 8


    Embedded Systems
    • A special-purpose computer system which is
    completely encapsulated by the device it
    controls
    • An embedded system has specific
    requirements and performs pre-defined
    tasks, unlike a general-purpose personal
    computer.

    Summary
    • A microprocessor is a programmable logic
    device with a designed set of instructions.
    • It contains three primary components:
    processing unit (ALU), memory, and input
    and output (I/O).
    • Microprocessor is an “umbrella” term for all
    types of processor.
