Detailed explanation-1: -Microprocessors are silicon chips that contain a computer’s central processing unit (CPU)-the device that executes commands entered into the computer. Along with clocks and main memory, CPUs are among a computer’s main components. The terms CPU and microprocessor often are used interchangeably.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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).
