This document provides an overview of microprocessors, detailing their functions, architecture, and components. It defines the microprocessor as a VLSI integrated circuit capable of performing arithmetic and logical operations, managing data transfer, and processing external inputs. The architecture includes a control unit for sequencing instructions, a processing unit containing an ALU for calculations, and internal buses for communication. Additionally, registers store temporary data and addresses to facilitate operations. Lastly, the document describes buses—data, address, and control—which enable communication between the microprocessor and external peripherals.
