MICROPROCESSOR

Microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using LSI or VLSI technique. Microprocessor is a programmable logic devices with registers, flipflops & timing elements. ALU Arithmetic operations Logical operations Register unit Control unit Computer Languages - Machine language - Assembly language (Mnemonics, Assemblers) - High-level language (Compilers, interpreters)

Architecture of Microprocessor
The process of data manipulation and communication is determined by the logic design of the microprocessor called the architecture. Function performed by the microprocessor Microprocessor- Initiated operations I/O Read, I/O Write, MR, MW Internal Data operations and registers Perform A & L operations Registers Flags PC, SP Peripherals/Externally Initiated operations Reset, Interrupt, Read, Hold

Instructions
An instruction is a command to the microprocessor to perform a given task on specified data. Types
1-byte instructions (MOV C,A CMA (complement) 2-byte instructions ( MVI A, data) 3-byte instructions (JMP 2010)

Operations
Data transfer operations Arithmetic operations Logic operations Branch operations

connect peripherals to the bus system.


Ex: Tri-state devices, Decoders, Encoders
