  2. Overview • Textbook: J. L. Antonakos, "An Introduction to the Intel Family of Microprocessors," Third Edition, Prentice Hall, 1999 • Objectives: The course will provide knowledge to build and program microprocessor-based systems. • DIAGRAM OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM • Microprocessor architecture • Architecture of microprocessor-based systems • Programming microprocessor-based systems • Future trends • Grading: Two midterms, one final exam, 1 project, ……

  3. Microprocessor Bus Control unit Datapath ALU Memory Output units Input units Reg. What are microprocessor-based systems? • Microprocessor-based systems are electrical systems consisting of microprocessors, memories, I/O units, and other peripherals. • Microprocessors are the brains of the systems • Microprocessors access memories and other units through buses • The operations of microprocessors are controlled by instructions stored in memories

  4. Basic component of microcomputer • CPU - Central Processing Unit • the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer program • the primary element carrying out the computer's functions. It is the unit that reads and executes program instructions. • The data in the instruction tells the processor what to do. Pentium D dual core processors

  5. 2. Memory • physical devices used to store data or programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in an electronic digital computer. • Computer main memory comes in two principal varieties: random-access memory(RAM) and read-only memory (ROM). • RAM can be read and written to anytime the CPU commands it, but ROM is pre-loaded with data and software that never changes, so the CPU can only read from it. • ROM is typically used to store the computer's initial start-up instructions. • In general, the contents of RAM are erased when the power to the computer is turned off, but ROM retains its data indefinitely. • In a PC, the ROM contains a specialized program called the BIOS that orchestrates loading the computer's operating system from the hard disk drive into RAM whenever the computer is turned on or reset.

  6. Address bus MAR PC IR Control unit Control bus X Y ACC ALU Data bus What are microprocessors? • A microprocessor is a processor (or Central Processing Unit, CPU) fabricated on a single integrated circuit. A simple microprocessor architecture

  7. Bus system • a subsystem that transfers data between computer components inside a computer or between computers.
