Certificate in Microprocessor Technology
About Microprocessor Technology
A microprocessor is a type of computer processor where the logic and control for data processing are housed on a single integrated circuit or a few interconnected integrated circuits. The arithmetic, logic and control circuitry needed to carry out the tasks of a computer's central processing unit are all included within the microprocessor. The "hearts" of data centers, supercomputers, communications equipment, and other digital devices are collectively several microprocessors.
Why is Microprocessor Technology important?
The arithmetic, logic and control circuitry needed to carry out the tasks of a computer's central processing unit are all included within the microprocessor. The integrated circuit has the ability to understand, carry out, and perform arithmetic operations.
