“INTRODUCTION”
A microprocessor is basically the brain of the computer. We can also call it simply a
processor or CPU. Furthermore, a microprocessor is basically a computer processor
that is mounted on a single IC (Integrated Circuit). It means that all the functions of
the processor are included on a single chip.

The microprocessor is the central unit of a computer system that performs arithmetic
and logic operations, which generally include adding, subtracting, transferring
numbers from one area to another, and comparing two numbers. It's often known
simply as a processor, a central processing unit, or as a logic chip.

List of Terms Used in a Microprocessor
Here is a list of some of the frequently used terms in a microprocessor −
• Instruction Set − It is the set of instructions that the microprocessor can
understand.
• Bandwidth − It is the number of bits processed in a single instruction.
• Clock Speed − It determines the number of operations per second the
processor can perform. It is expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz
(GHz).It is also known as Clock Rate.
• Word Length − It depends upon the width of internal data bus, registers,
ALU, etc. An 8-bit microprocessor can process 8-bit data at a time. The
word length ranges from 4 bits to 64 bits depending upon the type of the
microcomputer.
• Data Types − The microprocessor has multiple data type formats like
binary, BCD, ASCII, signed and unsigned numbers.
•
Features of a Microprocessor
it is reliable.

• “Microprocessor is a computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) on a single chip
that contains millions of transistors connected by wires.” ✓ Microprocessor is a
programmable integrated device that has computing and decision making
capability, similar to CPU of a computer.
A microprocessor is a computer processor where the data processing logic and control
• is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs. The
microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to
perform the functions of a computers.
Microprocessor-based systems are thus found everywhere today and not just in
computers and smartphones: in automatic testing of products, speed control of
motors, traffic light control, communication equipment, television, satellite
communication, home appliances, such as microwave oven, washing machine,
gaming
