Concept about Microprocessor

A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the
functions of a central processing unit (CPU) on a single
integrated circuit (IC). Die of an Intel 80486DX2

Central Processing Unit

A central processing unit (CPU), or sometimes just called
Microprocessor (µ µP), is a description of a class of logic
machines that can execute computer programs.

• This broad definition can easily be applied to many early

computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came
into widespread usage. However, the term itself and its
initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least
since the early 1960s.
• The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed
dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental
operation has remained much the same.

So .. What is Microprocessor?

A microprocessor (abbreviated as µP or uP) is a Silicon Chip
that contains an electronic central processing unit (CPU). In
the world uP or CPU used interchangeably, which is made
from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a
single semiconductor integrated circuit (IC).

The integration of the whole CPU onto a single VLSI Chip
therefore greatly reduced the cost of processing capacity.

Architectures of Microprocessors:

8-bit designs
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer)

16-bit designs
CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer)

32-bit designs
Special-purpose designs: Microcontrollers,

64-bit designs Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and Graphics

Multi-core designs Processing Units (GPU).

Assembly Language

Assembly language:

Assembly language is used for most programming because it
is extremely difficult to program a microprocessor in its
native, that is hexadecimal machine language.

Assembler:

An assembler is a program that converts software written in
symbolic machine language (the source programme) into
hexadecimal machine language (object programme).

The primary reason to use assembler is because
development and modification are always difficult in machine
language.
