What is CPU and it's components
CPU :- C.P.U is the brain of the computer.
It's components is :
- It is called processor.
- It can be placed on one or more microchip called integrated circuit (IC).
- IC is semiconductor material.
WORK OF THE C.P.U :
- The C.P.U is given instructions and data through programs, then C.P.U fetches program and data from the memory and performs arithmetic and logic operation as per the given instructions and store back to memory.
- While processing, the C.P.U stores the data as well as instructions in local memory called registers.
- Register are used for storing data, instructions or intermediate results.
Other than register, C.P.U has two main components:-
- ALU (Arithmetic logic unit)
- CU (Control unit)
- ALU (arithmetic logic unit) performs all the arithmetic and logic operation that need to be done as per the instruction in a program.
- CU (control unit) controls sequential instruction execution, interprets instructions and guides data flow through the computer's memory, ALU and input or output device.
INPUT DEVICE :- Convert input data into a digital form that is acceptable by the computer system.
OUTPUT DEVICE :- Convert digital information into human understable form.
