- 2. Introduction to Microprocessors Microprocessor: A microprocessor is a multipurpose, programmable, clock- driven, register base electronic device, that reads binary instruction from storage device called memory accept binary data and input and process data according to those instruction and provide result as output. Microprocessor application can be classified as: Reprogrammable system: In this microprocessor is used for computing and data processing. Capable of handling large data, storage devices such as disks and CD Rom and peripherals devices such as printers. Eg microcomputer. Embedded system: - In this case microprocessor is a part of final product and is not available for reprogramming to end uses. - Eg washing machine, traffic light controller, Automatic testing machine. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst.

- 5. How does a Microprocessor Work? The microprocessor follows a sequence: Fetch, Decode, and then Execute. Initially, the instructions are stored in the memory in a sequential order. The microprocessor fetches those instructions from the memory, then decodes it and executes those instructions till STOP instruction is reached. Later, it sends the result in binary to the output port. Between these processes, the register stores the temporarily data and ALU performs the computing functions. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst.

- 6. List of Terms Used in a Microprocessor Here is a list of some of the frequently used terms in a microprocessor : Instruction Set − It is the set of instructions that the microprocessor can understand. Bandwidth − It is the number of bits processed in a single instruction. Clock Speed − It determines the number of operations per second the processor can perform. It is expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz).It is also known as Clock Rate. Word Length − It depends upon the width of internal data bus, registers, ALU, etc. An 8-bit microprocessor can process 8-bit data at a time. The word length ranges from 4 bits to 64 bits depending upon the type of the microcomputer. Data Types − The microprocessor has multiple data type formats like binary, BCD, ASCII, signed and unsigned numbers. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 6
- 7. Features of a Microprocessor Here is a list of some of the most prominent features of any microprocessor − Cost-effective − The microprocessor chips are available at low prices and results its low cost. Size − The microprocessor is of small size chip, hence is portable. Low Power Consumption − Microprocessors are manufactured by using metaloxide semiconductor technology, which has low power consumption. Versatility − The microprocessors are versatile as we can use the same chip in a number of applications by configuring the software program. Reliability − The failure rate of an IC in microprocessors is very low, hence it is reliable. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 7
- 8. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 8 A microprocessor can be classified into three categories :
- 9. RISC Processor RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. It is designed to reduce the execution time by simplifying the instruction set of the computer. Using RISC processors, each instruction requires only one clock cycle to execute results in uniform execution time. This reduces the efficiency as there are more lines of code, hence more RAM is needed to store the instructions. The compiler also has to work more to convert high-level language instructions into machine code. Some of the RISC processors are − Power PC: 601, 604, 615, 620 DEC Alpha: 210642, 211066, 21068, 21164 MIPS: TS (R10000) RISC Processor PA-RISC: HP 7100LC 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst.

- 10. Architecture of RISC 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 10 RISC microprocessor architecture uses highly-optimized set of instructions. It is used in portable devices like Apple iPod due to its power efficiency.
- 11. Characteristics of RISC The major characteristics of a RISC processor are as follows − It consists of simple instructions. It supports various data-type formats. It utilizes simple addressing modes and fixed length instructions for pipelining. It supports register to use in any context. One cycle execution time. “LOAD” and “STORE” instructions are used to access the memory location. It consists of larger number of registers. It consists of less number of transistors. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 11
- 12. CISC Processor CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer. It is designed to minimize the number of instructions per program, ignoring the number of cycles per instruction. The emphasis is on building complex instructions directly into the hardware. The compiler has to do very little work to translate a high-level language into assembly level language/machine code because the length of the code is relatively short, so very little RAM is required to store the instructions. Some of the CISC Processors are − IBM 370/168 VAX 11/780 Intel 80486 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 12
- 13. Architecture of CISC Its architecture is designed to decrease the memory cost because more storage is needed in larger programs resulting in higher memory cost. To resolve this, the number of instructions per program can be reduced by embedding the number of operations in a single instruction. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 13
- 14. Characteristics of CISC Variety of addressing modes. Larger number of instructions. Variable length of instruction formats. Several cycles may be required to execute one instruction. Instruction-decoding logic is complex. One instruction is required to support multiple addressing modes. 9/5/2020Prepared by Asst. Prof. Bal Krishna Subedi, Tribhuvan University 14
