Inside the CPU

Primary Components Inside the CPU

 Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)

 Control Unit

 Registers

 Buses

4
Inside the CPU

Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a fundamental component of the


Central Processing Unit (CPU) in a computer. Its primary role is to
perform arithmetic and logical operations on the data that the CPU
processes.

5
Inside the CPU

Control Unit (CU) is responsible for directing the operation of the


CPU. It interprets instructions from the computer’s memory and
executes them by coordinating with the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU),
registers, and the system's buses.

6
Inside the CPU

Functions of the Control Unit

 Instruction Fetch

 Instruction Decode

 Instruction Execution

 Control Signals

7
Inside the CPU

Registers are responsible for directing the operation of the CPU. It


interprets instructions from the computer’s memory and executes
them by coordinating with the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), registers,
and the system's buses.

 Instruction Decoder
 Memory Data Register
 General Purpose Register
 Program Counter
 Data Registers

9
Inside the CPU

Buses play a critical role in facilitating communication between


various components. They serve as pathways for data, addresses, and
control signals.

Basic Organization of a Microcontroller

16
Significant Components of Microcontroller

Processor, in the context of a CPU, the processor is the


part that executes instructions from programs. It
performs computations, makes decisions, and processes
data according to the instructions provided by software.

17
Significant Components of Microcontroller

Read Only Memory (ROM), is a type of non-volatile


memory used in computers and electronic devices. Unlike
volatile memory, which loses its data when power is lost,
ROM retains its data even when the power is turned off.

18
Significant Components of Microcontroller

Random Access Memory (RAM), is a type of volatile


memory used in computers and electronic devices. Unlike
non-volatile memory, it loses its data when turned off.
