Video-2: Introduction to Microprocessors | Skill-Lync

Microprocessors are considered to be the brain of computer memory. They were first developed in 1971, by a group of individuals at Intel. Since then there has been a vast development in them, with every new processor in the market having faster processing speed.

Not all devices use microprocessors as some may not require processing capacity while some are created for that. Fans and tube lights will not need microprocessors whereas remote and traffic lights need them. They have an in-built algorithm that gives a certain output.

The microprocessor performs all mathematical and logical functions through the ALU segment, with the help of registers and control units.

ALU - Arithmetic Logic Units performs all mathematical calculations with the data given.
Registers - The registers are temporary data storage locations in the microprocessor.
Control Units - It dictates how the internal memory of the computer should respond to the given instructions and controls the flow of data between the microprocessor and the system.

They are connected to the I/O devices and memory of the system. They follow a simple fetch, decode and execute cycle to carry out an instruction. The working of a microprocessor follows a simple fetch, decode and execute cycle.
