Microprocessor Notes

Microprocessor Notes

Microprocessor Notes is semester 5 subject of final year of computer engineering in Mumbai University. Prerequisite for studying this subject are Digital Electronics and Logic Design.

Course objectives of subject Microprocessor is to equip students with the fundamental knowledge and basic technical competence in the field of Microprocessors. To emphasize on instruction set and logic to build assembly language programs. To prepare students for higher processor architectures and Embedded systems. Course outcomes of subject Microprocessor On successful completion of course learner will be able to Describe architecture of x86 processors. Interpret the instructions of 8086 and write assembly and Mixed language programs. Explain the concept of interrupts. Identify the specifications of peripheral chip. Design 8086 based system using memory and peripheral chips 6. Appraise the architecture of advanced processors.

A microprocessor is a computer processor where the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit, or a small number of integrated circuits. The microprocessor is a multipurpose, clock-driven, register-based, digital integrated circuit that accepts binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results (also in binary form) as output. Microprocessors contain both combinational logic and sequential digital logic. Microprocessors operate on numbers and symbols represented in the binary number system. The integration of a whole CPU onto a single or a few integrated circuits using Very-Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) greatly reduced the cost of processing power. Integrated circuit processors are produced in large numbers by highly automated metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) fabrication processes, resulting in a relatively low unit price. Single-chip processors increase reliability because there are many fewer electrical connections that could fail. As microprocessor designs improve, the cost of manufacturing a chip (with smaller components built on a semiconductor chip the same size) generally stays the same according to Rock’s law. Before microprocessors, small computers had been built using racks of circuit boards with many medium- and small-scale integrated circuits, typically of TTL type. Microprocessors combined this into one or a few large-scale ICs. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004. Continued increases in microprocessor capacity have since rendered other forms of computers almost completely obsolete (see history of computing hardware), with one or more microprocessors used in everything from the smallest embedded systems and handheld devices to the largest mainframes and supercomputers.
