MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER

Detailed explanation-1: -Microprocessor communicates and operates in binary numbers 0 and 1. The set of instructions in the form of binary patterns is called a machine language and it is difficult for us to understand. Therefore, the binary patterns are given abbreviated names, called mnemonics, which forms the assembly language.

Detailed explanation-2: -A microprocessor accepts binary data as input, processes that data, and then provides output based on the instructions stored in the memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -As mentioned above, binary has two states: off and on. If computers were to use the decimal system, there would be 10 states instead and they would have to work a lot harder to process them all. Binary is easier for computers to process, and it also takes up less space.

Detailed explanation-5: -A microprocessor is an electronic device, and it understands only two things: on and off. Therefore, it uses the binary number system (0, 1), because they represent two different voltages. One as low voltage and the other as high voltage.
