Course overview
A microprocessor is a programmable electronics chip that has computing and decision making capabilities similar to central processing unit of a computer. Any microprocessor- based systems having limited number of resources are called microcomputers. Nowadays, microprocessor can be seen in almost all types of electronics devices like mobile phones, printers, washing machines etc. Microprocessors are also used in advanced applications like radars, satellites and flights. Due to the rapid advancements in electronic industry and large scale integration of devices results in a significant cost reduction and increase application of microprocessors and their derivatives.

Frequently asked question
Program Counter (PC)
This 16-bit register deals with sequencing the execution of instructions. This register is a
memory pointer. The microprocessor uses this register to sequence the execution of the
instructions. The function of the program counter is to point to the memory address from
which the next byte is to be fetched. When a byte is being fetched, the program counter is
automatically incremented by one to point to the next memory location.
Stack Pointer (SP)
The stack pointer is also a 16-bit register, used as a memory pointer. It points to a memory
location in R/W memory, called stack. The beginning of the stack is defined by loading 16-
bit address in the stack pointer.
Instruction Register/Decoder
It is an 8-bit register that temporarily stores the current instruction of a program. Latest
instruction sent here from memory prior to execution. Decoder then takes instruction and
decodes or interprets the instruction. Decoded instruction then passed to next stage.
