Definition
❑ A microcomputer is a complete computer on a smaller scale
and is generally a synonym for the more common term,
personal computer or PC , a computer designed for an
individual.

❑ A microcomputer contains

1. A microprocessor (a central processing unit on a microchip ),


2. Memory in the form of read-only memory and random access
memory ,
3. I /O ports and a bus or system of interconnecting wires,
4. Housed in a unit that is usually called a motherboard .

Bit slicing concept
❑ Bit slicing is a technique for constructing a
processor from modules of smaller bit width.

❑ Each of these components processes one bit field or


"slice" of an operand.

❑ The grouped processing components would then


have the capability to process the chosen full word-
length of a particular software design.

Case Study: Intel Processors CMOS VLSI Design Slide 10


Bit slice processor
❑ Bit slice micro processor divide the element of a central
processing unit among several ICs.

❑ Bit slice processors usually consist of an arithmetic logic unit


(ALU) of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bits and control lines (including carry or
overflow signals that are internal to the processor in non-bit
sliced designs).

❑ For example, two 4-bit ALUs could be arranged side by side,


with control lines between them, to form an 8-bit CPU, with
four slices a 16-bit CPU can be built, and it takes 8 four bit
slices for a 32-bit word CPU (so the designer can add as many
slices as required to manipulate increasingly longer word
lengths).

Bit slice processor
❑ A micro sequencer or Control ROM would be used
to execute logic to provide data and control signals
to regulate function of the component ALUs.

❑ Examples of bit-slice microprocessor modules can


be seen in the Intel 3000 family, the AMD Am2900
family, the National Semiconductor IMP-16 and
IMP-8 family, and the 74181.

Bit slice processor
❑ Data buses and register files of the individual slices
are effectively juxtaposed to increase their size.

❑ The control lines select and sequence the operation


to be performed.

❑ Each slice thus performed same operation on


different operand.

Case Study: Intel Processors CMOS VLSI Design Slide 14


Accumulator based microprocessor

❑ an accumulator is a register in which intermediate arithmetic


and logic results are stored.

❑ Without a register like an accumulator, it would be necessary


to write the result of each calculation (addition, multiplication,
shift, etc.) to main memory perhaps only to be read right back
again for use in the next operation.

❑ Access to main memory is slower than access to a register like


the accumulator because the technology used for the large
main memory is slower (but cheaper) than that used for a
register.

Case Study: Intel Processors CMOS VLSI Design Slide 15


Accumulator based microprocessor

❑ A kind of CPU where, although it may have several


registers, the CPU mostly stores all the operands
and the results of calculations in one special register,
typically called "the accumulator“.

❑ All the Data transfer are performed through


accumulator.
❑ It contains
1. ALU
2. Register unit

Register based microprocessor

❑ The register are used to hold data and memory


address.
❑ Result after ALU operation stored in the register.
❑ Number size and types of register varies.
❑ 16 bit and 32 bit
❑ Higher speed
❑ Data transfer via the register
❑ Intel 8086 80386
❑ Motorola 68020 68030
