What is a Microprocessor?#
๐ง Definition#
A microprocessor is a programmable digital electronic component that incorporates the functions of a CPU on a single integrated circuit.
Key Characteristics:#
- Programmable - Can execute different sets of instructions
- Digital - Works with binary data (0s and 1s)
- Integrated Circuit - All components on single chip
- CPU Functions - Arithmetic, logic, control operations
