Microprocessor A microprocessor is a computer processor which incorporates the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC) Accepts binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory and provides results (also in binary form) as output 2
Brain of Microprocessor ALU performs all arithmetic and logical operations on the data received from input devices or memory. Register array consists of a series of registers like accumulator (A), B, C, D etc. which acts as temporary fast access memory locations for processing data. Control unit controls the flow of instructions and data throughout the system. 3
