A Microprocessor is a single LSI(Large Scale Integrated) or,VLSI(Very Large Scale Integrated) or,VVLSI(Very Very Large Scale Integrated) chip capable of performing Arithmetic and Logical operations in a controlled manner.
A Microprocessor basically perform all these operations with the help of other supporting chips.In the very beginning it needed several chips to work as an independent system but as the technology enhanced itself the no of supporting chips got reduced.
In the very begining of technology several chips were needed to implement the different logical expressions.But as the technology advanced itself it became possible to implement more and more expressions on a single chip and this was called integration of the circuit.Finally it reached to LSI.
They're called as such because of the size of the transistors they contain which is in micrometer dimensions .The first microprocessor is INTEL4004 (1971) .As it was too small in compare to other processors at that time so they called that processor as microprocessor
Microprocessor is a single chip processor.
that's a good question. maybe your processor is so small..
microprocessor
Central Processing Unit, processor, microprocessor, computer brain, floating-point-calculator, integer calculator, core, etc They can be called a lot of things, but CPU, processor and microprocessor are the big three.
ARM is a processor architecture that incorporates a few different types of microprocessor that isn't built on the x86 protocol. They are called processors because they ARE processors.
The central processor unit (microprocessor) is placed on the motherboard. The cooler, necessary to refrigerate the microprocessor is placed behind it.
Because the processor is a 16 bit processor, and 64k is what you can address with a 16 bit processor.
A MOS 6510 microprocessor
It's the brain of the device. It is the processor.
