Microprocessors

A microprocessor is the heart of any computer, whether it is a server, a desktop machine, or a laptop. This single chip contains the arithmetic, control, and logic circuitry necessary to interpret and execute computer programs.

Why i can't enable and disable interrupts of my AVR for several times?

It's impossible :o) You can disable and enable any interrupt source by setting or clearing corresponding bit in proper control register. Show me your code - we will see what can be done wrong.

You can set bit I on SREG by 1 to enable global interrupt or by 0 to disable it.

in c programming you can write

#asm ("sei") //to enable global interupt

#asm ("cli") //to disable global interupt

How a baseband processor works?

It buffers and routes data from source to another It buffers and routes data from source to another

What is cache and what is its purpose?

Cache is a high speed memory which is basically used for the following reason:

As the speed of the main memory is not as much as the speed of the CPU.so just to compensate the speed mistmatch between the CPU and main memory the cache is used in between the two.so whenever the CPU asks for any data its being checked with the cache memory and if present then "cache hit" occurs or else "cache miss" occurs wher the CPU takes the data form the main memory and that data's cpoy is being send to the cache for any further operation where the CPU can request for the same data.

What is the difference between CPLD and microcontroller?

Complex programmable logic device (CPLD) are programmable digital logic devices which are simpler and lesser capacity than FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) devices. CPLDs have a non-volatile memory (i.e. turning off the power does not require reprogramming of CPLD)

Microcontrollers (uP or MCU) are small and cost effective but self contained computer chips (compared to general purpose processor chips used in personal computers) used for embedded applications in industrial, consumer electronics products and automobiles. Microcontrollers may or may not have inbuilt memory.

CPLDs are used for implementing logic but they do not have a embedded processor like in microcontrollers.

Which micro-controller is easy to use and program as line follower or obstacle avoiding autonomous robot for college level competition?

All micro-controllers are going to be difficult to use, because you build your circuits around them, not vice versa. From a programmer perspective, the BASIC Stamp uses PBasic which is very easy to use and understand. The PIC16F84 Micro series uses assembly, but only has 30 commands and is much more powerful IMHO.

Bit addressable registers in 8051?

just a note: Clarify your question

Bit-addressable registers are registers that its bits can be modified individually. that means if you have register named "ACC" that is bit addressable , you can change its bits (D0 -D7) individually by special instructions SETB and CLR.

ex: SETB ACC.3 ; will set bit number 4 (remember bit 0) in the register

in 8051 there are many bit-addressable registers such as A (ACC), B, SCON, PCON, TCON, p0,p1,p2,p3 .

best wishes,

Where can one find best processors?

There are a lot of great sites that give great electronic deals. Definitely check out Amazon and their Deals of the Day. You may also want to check out, Brandsmart USA, Best Buy, Newegg, and Microcenter.

How long does it take to load 15 MB at 40 kb a second?

6m 24s

You Have 1024 Kb's In A Mb. So Take 1024 x 15, Since The File Is 15 Mb, Instead Of 1 Mb. You Will Get 15,360. Then You Take That Divided By 40 To See How Many Seconds It Will Take To Download The File, Which Will Give You 384. 384s In Turn Is 6m 24s For The File To Download.

What are the all parts and all function of a central processing unit?

Two typical components of a CPU are:

The arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs arithmetic and logical operations.

The control unit (CU), which extracts instructions from memory and decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when necessary.

What is cache miss penalty?

Additional time required because of a miss it is generally the 30~40 cycles for Main Memory.

Why 8051 microcontroller called so?

Because it is 8- 8-bit controller (8000 series)

5- It has 5 interrupts

1- It has only one serial communication port

6 Fetching and decoding of any instruction takes three clock cycles How?

Incorrect. Fetching and decoding of any instruction takes a minimum of four clock cycles in the 8085.

T1 = ALE and address emission

T2 = Read initiation

T3 = Read completion

T4 = Opcode decode

T1, T2, and T3 are repeated for each additional byte of the instruction. In all cases, Twait, if indicated by not READY, is inserted between T2 and T3.

What is TDP?

Thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, represents the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate.
