Microprocessor

EBook Description: A microprocessor (sometimes abbreviated �P) is a digital electronic component with transistors on a single semiconductor integrated circuit (IC). One or more microprocessors typically serve as a central processing unit (CPU) in a computer system or handheld device.

A microprocessor -- also known as a CPU or central processing unit -- is a complete computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. The 4004 was not very powerful -- all it could do was add and subtract, and it could only do that 4 bits at a time. But it was amazing that everything was on one chip

The Z80 Microprocessor Architecture

Z80 microprocessor book is intended for microprocessor courses at the undergraduate level in technology, engineering, and computer science. Now this book on Z80 microprocessor in its third edition, provides a comprehensive treatment of the microprocessor, covering both hardware and software based on the Z80 microprocessor family.

Microprocessor - Information Sources

Computers have changed in their ability in one simple dimension. They�ve become faster, and in a very predictable manner. The number of devices of a chip - that is the circuit elements in a logic circuit - Gordon Moore predicted with incredible perspicacity in 1965 to double every 18 months.

The 8086 Microprocessor Programming and Interfacing the PC

This book on 8086 Microprocessor is a comprehensive text dealing with the microprocessor architecture, assembly language, PC operating system and interfacing of external hardware using PC I/O ports. This text of Microprocessor 8086 is suited for undergraduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Instrumentation. This 8086 Microprocessor text is also suitable for working industry professionals because of its practical orientation.

Microprocessor details

Three basic characteristics differentiate microprocessors: # Instruction set: The set of instructions that the microprocessor can execute. # bandwidth : The number of bits processed in a single instruction. # clock speed : Given in megahertz (MHz), the clock speed determines how many instructions per second the processor can execute.

Wavecom unveils wireless microprocessor

Wavecom SA (NASDAQ: WVCM; Euronext Eurolist compartment B: AVM - ISIN: FR0000073066), a leader in embedded wireless communication platforms for automotive, industrial (machine-to-machine) and mobile professional applications, today announced the launch of the first in a family of powerful Wireless Microprocessors with built-in wireless communications capability.

MICROPROCESSOR [microprocessor] integrated circuit

MICROPROCESSOR [microprocessor] integrated circuit containing the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to interpret and execute instructions from a computer program . When combined with other integrated circuits that provide storage for data and programs, often on a single semiconductor base to form a chip, the microprocessor becomes the heart of a small computer , or microcomputer. Microprocessors are classified by the semiconductor technology of their design (TTL, transistor-transistor logic; CMOS, complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor; or ECL, emitter-coupled logic)

Microcontroller

A microcontroller (or MCU) is a computer-on-a-chip used to control electronic devices. It is a type of microprocessor emphasizing self-sufficiency and cost-effectiveness, in contrast to a general-purpose microprocessor (the kind used in a PC)
