Introduction
A microprocessor is
multipurpose, programmable, clock driven, resister based electronic device that
reads binary instruction from the storage device called Memory, binary
data as input and process data according to those instructions and generates
the result as an output.
A central processing
unit (CPU) built on a single chip is called a microprocessor. The
microprocessor contains electronic circuits with a large number of electronic
components (such as transistors, resistors etc...) integrated into a single
component called chip.
Evolution of
Microprocessor
Growth of
Microprocessor has been several stages starting from 4-bit to present 64-bit
processor and multi-core designs.
A computer-on-a-chip
is a variation of a microprocessor or which combines the microprocessor core
(CPU), some memory and input/output (I/O) lines, all on a single chip.
