Microprocessors

Silicon is used for making most semiconductor devices today, so it is used for making microprocessors too. It is the only inexpensive, easy to process semiconductor material currently available to use in making integrated circuits.

Germanium is not practical to make any type of integrated circuit for several reasons.

Gallium arsenide can be used to make integrated circuits, but is too expensive and difficult to process for devices as complicated as microprocessors. Also there is the issue of arsenic toxicity during processing.

Diamond offers possibilities as a semiconductor for very high temperature operation, but processing issues have yet to be worked out.

Carbon nanotubes also offer possibilities for making semiconductor devices, but use in microprocessors is in the far distant future (if ever).

An alloy of silicon and germanium offers many of the advantages of gallium arsenide but without the toxicity issue, but again many processing issues need to be worked out before it is practical to use.

The function of AVR is to automatically regulate the voltage of Generators. As the terminal voltage of a generators drops the AVR boosts the voltage.

A latch is a type of flip-flop circuit that is used to store digital information in a microprocessor or other digital system. A latch is essentially a digital memory element that can hold a single bit of information (i.e. a "1" or "0"). Latches can be used to store data that needs to be held temporarily, such as the current state of a program, or to create a temporary buffer for data that is being moved between different parts of a system.

Transistor is an tiny electronic device called electronic switch,which is building block of a processor.

Processor is a data processing device consists of thousands or millions of transistors. Eg- Intel 8086 microprocessor has around 29000 transistors.

As quoted from Google Books, "Word size refers to the number of bits that a microprocessor can manipulate at one time."

the differebce between three address instruction and two address instruction is

three adresss instructoion two address instruction

1) here 3 oprarend fields are used 1) here 2 oprerand fields are used

2) the result is stored in 3rd operand 2) here the result is stored in 2nd oparend

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is used like a postal address on the Internet. An URL looks like this:

http://www.google.com/search.html

Similar to a postal address, URLs have different parts to it:

http:// is the protocol to use to get to the resource. This is just like saying whether you want to send a letter using registered mail, air or ground mail.

www.google.com is the name of the webserver holding the resource you want to access. This is equivalent to the town and its postal code.

/search.html is the resource you want to access. This is just like the road and its house number.

Microcontroller = (microprocessor+memory+peripherals) on a single chip

1.Fetch the most instructions from memory.

2.Read an apparend if required by the instruction.(Apparend is a quantity to be operated as directed by its associated instruction.)

3.Execute the instruction.(Do what the instruction says.)

4.Write the result backe into memory.(If required by instruction.)

yesss because Derek is da son of phene dats how dey both have ALU CHURA'S

You will need to open the cover to your PC and there should be a jumper labelled CLEAR CMOS you need to either move the black jumper accross and back again or if it is just two pins, short the pins with something momentarily. DO THIS WITH THE COMPUTER OFF.

Failing this you can remove the battery (looks like a ten pence piece) leave it a few minutes and reinsert it. Then boot up.

The CPU's instruction set is not stored anywhere. Rather, it is an integral part of the silicon that the CPU is made out of. The "instruction set" is actually a metaphor used to describe the different effects of charges at different points in the CPU. Just because I call a certain operation "add" doesn't mean anything to the CPU. Charges are applied and due to the way they are applied, different transistors open and close, providing different effects.

Silicon Substrate

Silicon substrates are mainly used for power semiconductors in automotive, electronics and HF front-end pa. silicon that can be fused with other materials, such as thermal oxide and or silicon nitrite.

Oxide Layer

An oxide layer is a thin layer or coating of an oxide, such as iron oxide. Such a coating may be protective, decorative or functional. It is a passivizing layer on the surface of the metal, preventing further corrosion.

Not usually, unless the CPU is less than 6 months old.

Its exactly what is says on the tin. A 32-bit processor that uses the ARM9 architecture.

The 8085 was replaced with the 8086/8088. As such, there is no 16 bit version of the 8085.

RAM on a 3250 can be upgraded to one gig. It's a single slot, however, which means you'll have to buy a one-gig chip, rather than adding to what you already have:

1 gb PC2700 - DDR - 333MHz - SODIMM - Un-Buffered - Non-Parity

It takes 10 bits.

you are completely right, but mathematical theory is not always true in practice: the difference of 24 you discovered is due to a small error that your computer experiences when it runs its activities. first of all, the 24 bytes more are arranged in 6 components of 4 bytes each: 24 = 6 x 4 then, all information is stored in blocks of 4 kb, so in each block you have a total of 24 x 4 = 96 bytes more. 96 = 100 - 4, and these 4 bytes less constitute a precise measure of the error your computer experiences whenever it handles one block of information: it lacks one 4 bytes component! nevertheless, 4 bytes over 4 kb is only 0.1%, so your calculations still can be considered pretty reliable. everybody hopes that in the future man will be able to produce artificial machines able to do perfect calculations, but up to now it has not yet been possible. so: continue investigating!

The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs two primary operations: arithmetic operations and logical operations. Arithmetic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, while logical operations involve comparisons and Boolean operations such as AND, OR, and NOT. These operations are fundamental for processing data and performing calculations within a computer's CPU.
