About this ebook

Welcome to Basics of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers! This is a nonfiction science book which contains various topics on basics of microprocessors and microcontrollers. A microprocessor is a type of computer processor where the logic and control for data processing are housed on a single integrated circuit or a few interconnected integrated circuits. The arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry needed to carry out the tasks of a computer's central processing unit are all included within the microprocessor. The integrated circuit has the ability to understand, carry out, and perform arithmetic operations. The microprocessor is a multifunctional, clock-driven, register-based, digital integrated circuit. It receives binary data as input, processes it in accordance with instructions stored in its memory, and outputs the results (also in binary form). Combinational and sequential digital logic are both present in microprocessors, which use the binary number system to represent numbers and symbols. On the other hand, A microcontroller, commonly known as an MCU (microcontroller unit), is a tiny computer that is housed on a single VLSI integrated circuit (IC) chip. One or more CPUs (processor cores), memory, and programmable input/output peripherals are all included in a microcontroller. Along with a tiny amount of RAM, on-chip program memory frequently also includes ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash, or OTP ROM. In contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general-purpose applications made up of numerous discrete chips, microcontrollers are intended for embedded applications. Automotive engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office equipment, appliances, power tools, toys, and other embedded systems are just a few examples of the automatically controlled products and devices that use microcontrollers. This is the first edition of the book. Thanks for reading the book.
