it is consist of input, storage, processing, and output devices controlled by a CPU.
microprocessor system
a compact chip that contains essential components
microprocessor
acting as the “brain” of a computer.
microprocessor
when was the first microprocessor was launched and what it is called?
intel 4004, launched in 1971
used to specify the memory location that the microprocessor wants to access.
address pins
These processors have a large set of instructions that can perform complex operations in a single instruction.
CISC (complex instruction set computing)
These processors are reconfigurable, meaning they can be programmed to perform a wide range of tasks.
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)
These processors have a simplified instruction set that requires fewer clock cycles to execute, making them faster and more efficient.
RISC (reduced instruction set computing)
These processors are optimized for processing digital signals, such as audio and video.
DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
These processors are specialized for graphics rendering and parallel processing.
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
It is a chip that is mounted on the motherboard and is responsible for executing instructions that make up computer programs.
CPU (central processing unit)
coordinates the operation of the CPU
control unit (CU)
performs arithmetic operations and logical operations
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
small, high-speed memory units that hold data and instructions
registers
is an open-source microcontroller platform widely used for prototyping, education, and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects.
arduino platforms
are compact computers on a single chip that integrate a CPU, memory (RAM and ROM), I/O ports, and timers, making them suitable for applications where cost and space are critical.
microcontroller
what microcontroller does arduino uno use?
ATmega328P
is a popular series of microcontrollers developed by Microchip Technology.
PIC (programmable interface controller)
is a series of microcontrollers developed by STMicroelectronics.
STM32
is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel Corporation
Atmel AVR
is a popular single-board computer that can also be used for embedded systems and IoT (Internet of Things) projects.
Raspberry Pi
a low-power microcontroller developed by Texas Instruments. It is often used in battery-powered devices.
MSP430
is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel Corporation, which is now part of Microchip Technology.
ATMEGA
an electronic/electro-mechanical system designed to perform a specific function using a combination of both hardware and firmware (software).
