BASIC COMPONENT OF
MICROCOMPUTER
1.

CPU - Central Processing Unit

the portion of a computer system that carries out the

instructions of a computer program
the primary element carrying out the computer's functions.
It is the unit that reads and executes program instructions.
The data in the instruction tells the processor what to do.

2.

Memory

physical devices used to store data or programs (sequences of

instructions) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in an
electronic digital computer.
Computer main memory comes in two principal varieties:
random-access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM).
RAM can be read and written to anytime the CPU commands
it, but ROM is pre-loaded with data and software that never
changes, so the CPU can only read from it.
ROM is typically used to store the computer's initial start-up
instructions.
In general, the contents of RAM are erased when the power to
the computer is turned off, but ROM retains its data
indefinitely.
In a PC, the ROM contains a specialized program called the
BIOS that orchestrates loading the computer's
operating system from the hard disk drive into RAM whenever
the computer is turned on or reset.

3. I/O Unit

Input/output (I/O), refers to the communication between an

information processing system (such as a computer), and the
outside world possibly a human, or another information
processing system.
Inputs are the signals or data received by the system, and outputs
are the signals or data sent from it
Devices that provide input or output to the computer are called
peripherals
On a typical personal computer, peripherals include input devices
like the keyboard and mouse, and output devices such as the
display and printer. Hard disk drives, floppy disk drives and
optical disc drives serve as both input and output devices.
Computer networking is another form of I/O.

FETCHING & EXECUTION CYCLES

Fetching Cycles
The fetch cycle takes the instruction required
from memory, stores it in the instruction
register, and
moves the program counter on one so that it
points to the next instruction.
Execute cycle
The actual actions which occur during the
execute cycle of an instruction.
depend on both the instruction itself and the
addressing mode specified to be used to access
the data that may be required.

ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC UNIT

(ALU)

The component that performs the arithmetic and

logical operations
the most important components in a
microprocessor, and is typically the part of the
processor that is designed first.
able to perform the basic logical operations (AND,
OR), including the addition operation.
The inclusion of inverters on the inputs enables
the same ALU hardware to perform the
subtraction operation (adding an inverted
operand), and the operations NAND and NOR.

CONTROL UNIT
The circuitry that controls the flow of information
through the processor, and coordinates the
activities of the other units within it.
In a way, it is the "brain within the brain", as it
controls what happens inside the processor,
which in turn controls the rest of the PC.
On a regular processor, the control unit performs
the tasks of fetching, decoding, managing
execution and then storing results.

21

INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF
CONTROL UNIT

22

REGISTER SETS

The register section/array consists completely of

circuitry used to temporarily store data or
program codes until they are sent to the ALU
or to the control section or to memory.
The number of registers are different for any
particular CPU and the more register a CPU have
will result in easier programming tasks.
Registers are normally measured by the number of
bits they can hold, for example, an "8-bit register"
or a "32-bit register".

ACCUMULATOR
a register in which intermediate arithmetic and
logic results are stored.
example for accumulator use is summing a list of
numbers.

The

accumulator is initially set to zero, then each

number in turn is added to the value in the
accumulator.
Only when all numbers have been added is the result
held in the accumulator written to main memory or
to another, non-accumulator, CPU register.
25

CONDITION CODE REGISTER (CCR)

an 8 bit register used to store the status of CPU,

such as carry, zero, overflow and half carry.

26

Flag

Name

Description

Zero flag

Indicates that the result of a mathematical or logical operation was

zero.

Carry flag

Indicates that the result of an operation produced an answer greater

than the number of available bits. (This flag may also be set before a
mathematical operation as an extra operand to certain instructions,
e.g. "add with carry".)

Extend flag

Masks the XIRQ request when set. It is set by the hardware and
cleared by the software as well is set by unmaskable XIRQ.

Negative/ Sign flag

Indicates that the result of a mathematical operation is negative. In

some processors, the N and S flags have different meanings: the S
flag indicates whether a subtraction or addition has taken place,
whereas the N flag indicates whether the last operation result is
positive or negative.

Overflow Flag

Indicates that the result of an operation has overflowed according to

the CPU's word representation, similar to the carry flag but for
signed operations.

interrupts

Interrupts can be enabled or disabled by respectively setting or

clearing this flag. Modifying this flag may be restricted to programs
executing in supervisor mode

27

PROGRAM COUNTER (PC)

a

16 bit register, used to store the next

address of the operation code to be fetched
by the CPU.
Not much use in programming, but as an
indicator to user only.
Purpose of PC in a Microprocessor
to store address of tos (top of stack)
to store address of next instruction to
be executed.
count the number of instructions.
to store base address of the stack.

28

INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF PC

29

STACK POINTER (SP)

The

stack is configured as a data structure

that grows downward from high memory
to low memory.
At any given time, the SP holds the 16-bit
address of the next free location in the
stack.
The stack acts like any other stack when
there is a subroutine call or on an
interrupt. ie. pushing the return address
on a jump, and retrieving it after the
operation is complete to come back to its
original location.

30

BUS SYSTEM

a subsystem that transfers data between

computer components inside a computer or
between computers.

4 PCI Express bus card slots (from top to bottom: x4, x16, x1 and x16),
compared to a traditional 32-bit PCI bus card slot (very bottom).

31

BUS SYSTEM CONNECTION

32

DATA BUS
The

data bus is 'bi-directional'

data

or instruction codes from memory or

input/output.are transferred into the
microprocessor
the result of an operation or computation is sent
out from the microprocessor to the memory or
input/output.

Depending

on the particular microprocessor,

the data bus can handle 8 bit or 16 bit data.
33

ADDRESS BUS
The address bus is 'unidirectional', over which
the microprocessor sends an address code to the
memory or input/output.
The size (width) of the address bus is specified by
the number of bits it can handle.
The more bits there are in the address bus, the
more memory locations a microprocessor can
access.
A 16 bit address bus is capable of addressing
65,536 (64K) addresses.

34

CONTROL BUS

The control bus is used by the microprocessor to

send out or receive timing and control signals in
order to coordinate and regulate its operation
and to communicate with other devices, i.e.
memory or input/output.

35

MICRO PROCESSOR CLOCK

Also called clock rate, the speed at which a microprocessor

executes instructions. Every computer contains an internal
clock that regulates the rate at which instructions are
executed and synchronizes all the various computer
components.
The CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks (or clock
cycles) to execute each instruction. The faster the clock, the
more instructions the CPU can execute per second. Clock
speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz
((GHz).
Some microprocessors are superscalar, which means that
they can execute more than one instruction per clock cycle.
Like CPUs, expansion buses also have clock speeds. Ideally,
the CPU clock speed and the bus clock speed should be the
same so that neither component slows down the other. In
practice, the bus clock speed is often slower than the CPU
clock speed, which creates a bottleneck. This is why new
local buses, such as AGP, have been developed.

37

8086

The 8086 is a 16-bit

microprocessor chip designed by
Intel, which gave rise to the x86
architecture; development work on
the 8086 design started in the
spring of 1976 and the chip was
introduced to the market in the
summer of 1978.
The Intel 8088, released in 1979,
was a slightly modified chip with
an external 8-bit data bus
(allowing the use of cheaper and
fewer supporting logic chips and is
notable as the processor used in
the original IBM PC.

38

8085
The Intel 8085 is an 8-bit
microprocessor introduced by
Intel in 1977.
It was binary-compatible with
the more-famous Intel 8080 but
required less supporting
hardware, thus allowing simpler
and less expensive
microcomputer systems to be
built.
