FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU). The IC is capable of interpreting and executing program instructions and performing arithmetic operations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microprocessors are the most-complicated ICs. They are composed of billions of transistors that have been configured as thousands of individual digital circuits, each of which performs some specific logic function. A microprocessor is built entirely of these logic circuits synchronized to each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transistors are also found in pacemakers, hearing aids, cameras, calculators, and watches. Most of these devices draw their power from tiny batteries. Most spacecraft also rely on microchips, and thus transistors. The transistor is truly the “nerve cell” of the information age.

Detailed explanation-4: -A microprocessor consists of an integrated circuit, which contains active devices, such as transistors, diodes, or logic circuits, combined with passive components, such as resistors and capacitors (see electronics).
