 Microprocessor are one of many types of integrated circuits. Microprocessors is an
integrated circuit on a single chip that performs the basic computations in a computer sometimes
called the CPU (central processing unit). The processor is the part of the computer that does all the
work of processing data. The Microprocessor is a general purpose programmable logic device and
it also is the central unit of a computer system that performs arithmetic and logic operations. The
processor chip itself is an ultra-thin piece of silicon crystal, less than a single millimeter in thickness,
that has millions of tiny electronic switches (transistors) embedded in it. The main brain of the
computer system to perform or doing a tasks inside the computer. Register organization A register
is a very small amount of fast memory that is built in the CPU (or Processor) and that is in the past
years but today the microprocessors may contain millions of transistors and other electronic
component. And today microprocessors work very rapidly and very reliable. Each type of the
microprocessors has its own design and organizational scheme. But all the microprocessors must
perform similar tasks. The microprocessors control all functions of the CPU or central processing
unit of a computer or other digital devices. he chips are then packaged, which is the process of
matching up the tiny connection points on the chip with the pins that will connect the processor to
the motherboard socket and encasing the fragile chip in an outer cover. Every microprocessor has
an internal clock that regulates the speed at which it executes instructions. Microprocessors also
Controlling all other parts of the machine and sending timing signals. Transferring data between
memory and I/O devices. Fetching data and instructions from memory. Decoding instruction.
Performing arithmetical and logical operations. Executing programs stored in memory. Performing
communication among the I/O devices etc. The same motherboard can support processors that use
different voltages, because they have voltage regulators that convert the power supply voltage to
the voltage needed by the processor that is installed. Even running at lower voltages, modern high-
speed processors get very hot. Heat sinks and processor fans help keep the temperature down. Some
industrial items which use microprocessors technology for example is cars, plane. Many modern
instruments include a microprocessor and associated circuits. The opportunity to operate more
devices remotely, safely and reliably allows doing things that would be unacceptable if people were
put in that same environment. Microprocessors also the usage in this generation because of
advantages of a microprocessors is its speed. Which measured in hertz. It also can quickly move
data between the various memory locations. Microprocessor speed is dependent on the production
quality, the processor design, the process technology, and the size of the circuit and die. The next
generation, the quantum computer, is already here. There is now serious talk about computers that
use light rather than electricity to run the processor. In these generation there is no impossible in
computer because of the innovation and in the next generation the quantum computer will be exist.
