What is a chip?
Control Unit
Tell the rest of the computer how to carry out a programs
instructions
Works with a program counter (address of next instruction)
It directs the movement of electronic signals between memory,
instructions and arithmetic logic unit.
Direct control signals between the CPU and I/O devices.

Machine cycle
There are four operations of Machine Cycle
Step 1. Fetch
Obtain program instruction or data item from
memory
Step 2. Decode
Translate instruction into commands
Step 3. Execute
Carry out command
Step 4. Store
Write result to memory
System Clock
Important measurement indicating speed
Located on a small chip
Produces electrical beats(impulse)
Expressed in gigahertz (1 GH=1 billion ticks

Data Representation
Most Computers are digital
Recognize only two discrete states: on or off
Use a binary system to recognize two states
Use Number system
with two unique digits:
0 and 1, called
bits (short for binary
digits)
13
Byte
Encoding Schemes
Three
types of schemes
Information interchange
EBCDIC - Extended Binary Coded
Decimal Interchange Code( used for
large computers)
Unicode ( for international
languages
ASCII

Registers
A register is a single storage location within the CPU
Unlike memory, which is outside the CPU
Examples of registers:
Accumulator (ACC)
Program counter (PC)
Instruction register (IR)
Memory address register (MAR)
Memory data register (MDR)
Status register
General purpose registers (R0, R1, )
Included on some CPUs
Used for high-speed temporary storage of program
variables

is an adapter card?
26
is an expansion slot?
An opening, or socket,
on the motherboard
that can hold an
adapter card
With Plug and Play,
the computer
automatically
configures cards
and other devices
as you install them
27
Port connects
external devices to
system unit
Connector joins
cable to peripheral
Available in one
of two genders:
male and female
28
Serial Port
29
Parallel Port
Connects
devices that
can transfer more than
one bit at a time, such as
a printer
30
Bus
Connect parts of the CPU to each other
Connect the CPU to other devices on the system board.
Data roadway for traveling bits
