    Professor Won Woo Ro, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Yonsei University The 1st Microprocessor The Intel® 4004 microprocessor, introduced in November 1971 An electronics revolution that changed our world. There were no customer‐ programmable microprocessors on the market before the 4004. It propelled software into the limelight as a key player in the world of digital electronics design. 4004 Microprocessor Display at New Intel Museum A Japanese calculator maker (Busicom) asked to design: A set of 12 custom logic chips for a line of programmable calculators. Marcian E. "Ted" Hoff Recognized the integrated circuit technology (of the day) had advanced enough to build a single chip, general purpose computer. Federico Faggin to turn Hoff's vision into a silicon reality. (In less than one year, Faggin and his team delivered the 4004, which was introduced in November, 1971.) The world's first microprocessor application was this Busicom calculator. (sold about 100,000 calculators.) Measuring 1/8 inch wide by 1/6 inch long, consisting of 2,300 transistors, Intel’s 4004 microprocessor had as much computing power as the first electronic computer, ENIAC. 2 inch 4004 and 12 inch Core™2 Duo wafer ENIAC, built in 1946, filled 3000‐cubic‐ feet of space and contained 18,000 vacuum tubes. The 4004 microprocessor could execute 60,000 operations per second Running frequency: 108 KHz Founders wanted to name their new company Moore Noyce. However the name sounds very much similar to “more noise”. "Only the paranoid survive". Moore received a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1950 and a Ph.D.

Chapter 3 Microprocessors in the 1970's The creation of the transistor in 1947 and the development of the integrated circuit in 1958/59, is the technology that formed the basis for the microprocessor. Initially the technology only enabled a restricted number of components on a single chip. However this changed significantly in the following years. The technology evolved from Small Scale Integration (SSI) in the early 1960's to Medium Scale Integration (MSI) with a few hundred components in the mid 1960's. By the late 1960's LSI (Large Scale Integration) chips with thousands of components had occurred. This rapid increase in the number of components in an integrated circuit led to what became known as Moore’s Law. The concept of this law was described by Gordon Moore in an article entitled “Cramming More Components Onto Integrated Circuits” in the April 1965 issue of Electronics magazine [338].

  • Module I What Is Microprocessor? Evolution of Microprocessors
    Module I Evolution of microprocessors, 8086 Microprocessor - Architecture and signals, Memory organisation, Minimum and maximum mode of operation, Minimum mode Timing Diagram. Comparison of 8086 and 8088. What is Microprocessor? A single chip processor is called microprocessor. It is also called Central Processing Unit (CPU). It is the brain of a computer system. It is also used in many electronic devices. Microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by techniques such as large scale integration (LSI) or very large scale integration. It is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. A computer built with a microprocessor is called micro computer. Examples Intel 8086, Intel 80286, Pentium II A microprocessor in which most instructions operate on n-bit data and its registers are of n-bit size is said to be a n-bit microprocessor. Evolution of microprocessors 4-bit Microprocessors The first microprocessor was introduced in 1971 by Intel Corp. It was named Intel 4004 as it was a 4 bit processor. It was a processor on a single chip. It could perform simple arithmetic and logic operations such as addition, subtraction, boolean AND and boolean OR. Intel introduced the enhanced version of 4004, the 4040. 8-bit Microprocessors The first 8 bit microprocessor which could perform arithmetic and logic operations on 8 bit words was introduced in 1973 again by Intel. This was Intel 8008 and was later followed by an improved version, Intel 8088. 16-bit Microprocessors The 8-bit processors were followed by 16 bit processors.

  • MICROPROCESSORS I-INTRODUCTION: Microprocessors
    MICROPROCESSORS I-INTRODUCTION: Microprocessors are regarded as one of the most important devices in our everyday machines called computers. Before we start, we need to understand what exactly microprocessors are and their appropriate implementations. Microprocessor is an electronic circuit that functions as the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer, providing computational control. Microprocessors are also used in other advanced electronic systems, such as computer printers, automobiles, and jet airliners Typical microprocessors incorporate arithmetic and logic functional units as well as the associated control logic, instruction processing circuitry, 1 and a portion of the memory hierarchy. Portions of the interface logic for the input/output (I/O) and memory subsystems may also be infused, allowing cheaper overall systems. While many microprocessors and single- chip designs, some high-performance designs rely on a few chips to provide multiple functional units and relatively large caches. (Really, Mark, p. 49) When combined with other integrated circuits that provide storage for data and programs, often on a single semiconductor base to form a chip, the microprocessor becomes the heart of a small computer, or microcomputer. Microprocessors are classified by the semiconductor technology of their design (TTL, transistor-transistor logic; CMOS, complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor; or ECL, emitter-coupled logic), by the width of the data format (4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit) they process; and by their instruction set (CISC, complex-instruction-set computer, or RISC, reduced- instruction-set computer; see RISC processor). TTL technology is most commonly used, while CMOS is favored for portable computers and other battery-powered devices because of its low power consumption.

It has interrupt capability, operates synchronously or asynchronously with external memory, and executes subroutines nested up to seven levels. The 8008 CPU, InTEL heart of the MCS-8, replaces 125 TTL packs. With it you can easi Iy address up to 16k 8-bit words of ROM, SUPPORT RAM or shift registers. Using bank switching techniques, you can extend its memory indefinitely. mdKES The PL/M™ High Level Language is an easy-to-Iearn, systems oriented language derived from IBM's PL/I by Intel for programming the MCS-8 and future 8-bit micro­ SYSTEm computers. It gives the microcomputer programmer the same high level language advantages currently available BUilDInG in mini and large computers. By actual tests, PL/M pro­ gramming and debugging requires less than 10% of the time needed for assembly language. The PL/M compiler EdSY. is written in Fortran IV for time-share, and needs little or no alteration for most general purpose computers. Inteliec™S Development Systems provide flexible, inex­ pensive, and simplified methods for OEM product de­ velopment. They use RAM for program storage instead of ROM, making program loading and modification easier.
