MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER

Detailed explanation-1: -SSI and MSI IC was used in third generation of computers. SSI, MSI, The first integrated circuits contained only a few transistors and so were called “Small-Scale Integration (SSI). They used circuits containing transistors numbering in the tens.

Detailed explanation-2: -The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Integrated Circuit was introduced with the Third Generation of computers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of the third generation computers include IBM-360 series, Honeywell-6000 series, PDP (Personal Data Processor), and IBM-370/168.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Third Generation ( 1965-1980 ): Integrated Circuits and Multiprogramming. Two types of computer systems were invented during this time ( 1965-1980 ), these are a scientific calculator and a commercial calculator. Both these systems were combined in the system/360 by a company named IBM.
