o CPU- CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
Central
Registers
Processor controls all internal and external
devices and performs arithmetic and logic
operations.
Operates only binary data(1 s &0s).
ALU
CPU CU
Registers
A. ALU- Arithmetic / logic unit
1. Arithmetic unit:
Actual computing and carrying out the
arithmetic calculations(at high speed).
2. Logic unit:
logical operation tests three conditions:
1 Equal-to condition
2 less-than condition
3 greater-than condition
B. Registers
Register name functions
DRAM
RAM
SRAM
ROM- Read Only Memory
can only be read from any location.
Stores initial start up instruction and routines in
BIOS.
Non-volatile
Firmware
Types:
PROM
EPROM
EEPROM
o INTERCONNECTION OF UNITS
System Bus
Bus- set of connections between two or more
components , designated to transfer bits of a word
from source to destination.
multiple paths(lines)
A bus that connect to all the components (CPU ,
Memory & I/O devices).
System lines are broadly categorised into three
functional groups:
Data lines
Address lines
Control lines
Bus interconnection
o Cache
cache is a piece of very fast memory, made from high
speed static RAM that reduces the time of accessing
the data.

Instructions are usually divided into following
types:
Data transfer instruction (registers or external
main memory)
Arithmetic instructions
Logical instructions
Program control instructions
I/O instructions
Instruction cycle
The processor of the system performs the
execution work
