Microprocessors

Question 1

Parts of a basic computer structure

Answer 1

Central Processing Unit (CPU),
Memory, Address Bus, Control Bus, Data Bus, Input/output ports and power connections.

Question 2

The software is known as

Answer 2

The program, it’s procedures, and documentation

Question 3

microprocessor

Answer 3

the individual instructions that are in the program

Question 4

components of the CPU

Answer 4

The register section
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
Timing and Control Section

Question 5

what does the The Register Section consist of

Answer 5

The register section consists of a number of storage locations (shift registers) where a piece of data is kept, or one of the registers is used by the microprocessor
in carrying out the different operations. A special memory in the microprocessor is called the status register. This is normally made up of single bit indicators (called
flags).

Question 6

Zero flag -
sign flag
carry flag
parity flag

Answer 6

is the result zero
is the sign -ve or +ve
did a carry occur
whether the total number of bits are odd or even

Question 7

what is the function of the ALU

Answer 7

This unit performs the arithmetic and logical operations. All calculations are
performed in binary, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Adders can be made using a number of logic gates where the basic principles of
addition apply
