- 2. Generation of Microprocessors We divide the years of development of microprocessors as 5 generations From 1970 to date 2
- 3. First generation (1971 – 73) Intel Corporation introduced 4004, the first microprocessor in 1971. During the same period: Rockwell International’s PPS-4 (4 bits) Intel’s 8008 (8 bits) National Semiconductor’s IMP-16 (16 bits) They were fabricated using PMOS technology which provided low cost, slow speed and low output currents They were not compatible with TTL 3
- 4. Second Generation (1974 – 1978) Marked the beginning of very efficient 8 – bit microprocessors. Some of the popular processors were: Motorola’s 6800 and 6809 Intel’s 8085 Zilog’s Z80 They were manufactured using NMOS technology. This technology offered faster speed and higher density than PMOS TTL compatible 4
- 5. Third generation microprocessors (1979 – 80) This age dominated by 16 – bits microprocessors Some of them were: Intel’s 8086/80186/80286 Motorolla’s 68000/68010 They were designed using HMOS technology HMOS provides some advantages over NMOS as Speed-power-product of HMOS is four times better than that of NMOS HMOS can accommodate twice the circuit density compared to NMOS Intel used HMOS technology to recreate 8085A and named it as 8085AH with a higher price tag. 5
- 6. Fourth Generation (1981 – 1995) This era marked the beginning of 32 bits microprocessors Intel introduced 432, which was bit problematic a clean Intel 80386 is launched. Motorola introduced 68020/68030. They were fabricated using low-power version of the HMOS technology called HCMOS. Motorola introduced 32-bit RISC processors called MC88100 6
- 7. Fifth Generation (1995 – till date) This age the emphasis is on introducing chips that carry on-chip functionalities and improvements in the speed of memory and I/O devices along with introduction of 64-bit microprocessors. Intel leads the show here with Pentium, Celeron and very recently dual and quad core processors working with up to 3.5GHz speed. 7

- 13. INTEL 8085 Introduced in 1976. 8-bit μP. Its clock speed 3 MHz. Its data bus is 8-bit and address bus is 16-bit. It had 6,500 transistors. Could execute 7,69,230 instructions per second. It could access 64 KB of memory. It had 246 instructions. Over 100 million copies were sold. 13
- 14. 14
- 15. INTEL 8086 Introduced in 1978. It was first 16-bit μP. Its clock speed is 4.77 MHz, 8 MHz and 10 MHz, depending on the version. Its data bus is 16-bit and address bus is 20-bit. It had 29,000 transistors. Could execute 2.5 million instructions per second. It can access 1 MB of memory. It has 22,000 instructions. It had Multiply and Divide instructions. 15

- 17. INTEL 8088 Introduced in 1979. It was also 16-bit μP. It was created as a cheaper version of Intel’s 8086. It was a 16-bit processor with an 8-bit external bus. Could execute 2.5 million instructions per second. This chip became the most popular in the computer industry when IBM used it for its first PC. 8088 and 8086 functionally identical but 8088 lower performance, 17

- 19. INTEL 80386 Introduced in 1986. first 32-bit μP. Its data bus is 32-bit and address bus is 32-bit. It could address 4 GB of memory. It had 2,75,000 transistors. Its clock speed varied from 16 MHz to 33 MHz depending upon the various versions. Different versions: 80386 DX 80386 SX 80386 SL Intel 80386 became the best selling microprocessor in history. 83086 has various operation mode, which allow it to act as 80286 chip or multiple 8086 chip, as well as a set of instruction capable of 32 bit operations such as arithmetic. 19
