The basic blocks of a computer are CPU (Central Processing Unit) or Processor, Memory and I/O (Input-Output) device.
Due to advances in semiconductor technology, it is possible to fabricate the CPU on one or more than one chips. The result is the microprocessor. Both MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and Bipolar technologies can be used in this fabrication process. The CPU can be placed on a single chip when MOS technology is...
