History 8086 Microprocessor was designed by Intel in 1976. Introduction 8086 Microprocessor is an enhanced version of 8085. 8086 is available in 3 stable versions based on the frequency of operation(processing speed) − 5MHz 8MHz 10 MHz Features It is a 16-bit Microprocessor having 20-bit address lines and 16-bit data Read more…
History The term “Microprocessor” was first used when the Viatron system 21 small Computer System was announced in 1968. Since the 1970s, the use of microprocessors has consequently increased, cutting across several use cases. Microprocessors were initially called “Microcomputer on a chip” until 1972. The microprocessor was invented by a Read more…

Carver Mead is an inventor, chip designer, entrepreneur, and university physicist. Mead. It was founded in 1979 and head quarter is California USA. VLSI is a modern and advanced technology for chip Read more…
Introduction Assembly language programming is the first step to improving the programming structure. As we know that machine language is very difficult to understand when a program or instruction is written in machine language. Therefore, each manufacturer of a microprocessor has developed a symbolic code for each education called a Read more…
Introduction A computer instruction is made up of an operation code (op-code) followed by either zero, one or two bytes of operands. Definition Instruction An instruction is a signal(command) in the form of a sequence of 0s and 1s(machine language) that is given to a computer’s processor(microprocessor) to do some Read more…
Introduction An operation code(opcode) of an instruction specifies the operation to be performed on data. This operation is mainly executed on some data stored in a register or memory. Operands may be specified in one of the three basic forms i.e., immediate, register, and memory. Conventions: In this addressing scheme, Read more…
Introduction CPU organization is the arrangement of CPU components in systematic order to work efficiently. Characteristics As we know that a computer manipulates data according to the given instructions using stored program concept. Here, stored program concept means the program and data are stored in the same memory unit. The Read more…
