MICROCOMPUTERS
Cont…
• Major components of the computer - the
processor, the control unit, one or more
memory ICs, one or more I/O ICs, and the
clock
• A single printed circuit board usually connects
the ICs, making a computer called a
microcomputer
• Relatively small and inexpensive computer
that is contained on one or a few chips
Definitions
Microcontroller
A single-chip microcomputer.
A microcontroller (abbreviated MCU or µC) is a computer system on a
chip that does a job. It contains an integrated processor, memory (a
small amount of RAM, program memory, or both), and programmable
input/output peripherals, which are used to interact with things
connected to the chip.
Microprocessor
The processor and control unit part of the single-chip
computer(microcontroller) is called microprocessor.
A microprocessor is also known as a central processing unit in which
numbers of peripherals’ are fabricated on a single chip. It has ALU
(arithmetic and logic unit), a control unit, registers, bus systems, and a
clock to perform computational tasks.
Two major architecture of microcomputers.
• Princeton and Harvard architecture
• The main difference is the memory’s
Evolution of Microprocessors &
Microcontrollers
• Fairchild semiconductors (founded in 1957)
invented the first Integrated Circuit in 1959
that marked the microprocessor history
• In 1971, the first microprocessor Intel 4004
was invented.
