MICROCOMPUTERS, MICROPROCESSORS, MICROCONTROLLERS AND MINICOMPUTERS

A microprocessor is an integrated circuit (IC) that performs many of the functions found in digital computer. A single microprocessor IC is capable of performing all the arithmetic and control functions of a computer. By itself, a typical microprocessor IC does not contain the memories and input/output (I/C) functions of a computer. However, when these functions are provided with additional ICs, a microcomputer is formed.

Typically, a basic microcomputer requires a read-only memory (ROM) to store the computer program or instructions, a random-access memory (RAM) to store temporary data (the information to be acted upon by the computer program), and an I/O IC to make the system compatible with outside or (perpheral) equipment such as an interactive video computer terminal, teletype, or line printer. There are some ICs that contain some, or all, of these functions. In effect, when an IC contains all of the basic functions, the IC is a computer on a chip. However, this is not the typical case.

Microprocessors are sometimes referred to as microprocessor units (MPU) or control processor units (CPU) (CPU can sometimes mean central processor unit). A microprocessor is not always used in digital computer applications. Instead, the microprocessor was originally developed as the control element for those applications where digital computer functions (the ability to store execute a complete program automatically) was too large or expensive. Sometimes, the microprocessor is called a microcontroller when used in these control applications.

The term minicomputer can be applied to many relatively simple computers. A minicomputer often contains many ICs, but not necessarily a microprocessor IC.
