A microprocessor is an electronic device that
consists of millions (or billions) of transistors
packed into one IC.
Its function is to execute instructions in the
form of programs, calculate and store its
results.
Microprocessors are used widely in our
everyday lives.
µP is a complex, powerful device:
◦ Able to process huge amounts of data.
◦ Built using transistors etched on silicon die.
◦ Needs external components to support operation.
Microcomputer system – support µP
operations.
The microprocessor can be used to perform
complex operations by giving it instructions.
These instructions are called programs.
Programs are loaded into memory, and are
executed line-by line by the microprocessor.
Definition: A complete electronic system
built around the microprocessor to support
the microprocessor operation.
May consist of CPU, memory, I/O (disk
drives, keyboard, mouse), system bus, and
supporting circuitry.
CPU as the “brain” – controls actions of all
components.

A µP-based system consists of many
components:
◦ CPU.
◦ Memory.
◦ I/O: disk drives, keyboard, mouse.
◦ System Bus.
◦ Supporting circuitry.
All components communicate using System
Bus.
