MICRO PROGRAM

A microprocessor is the brain of the computer that incorporates all the functions of a computer's central processing unit on an integrated circuit on a chip.

Micro program is a set of instructions to provide the control logic that are used by the CPU in the microprocessor.

Microprocessors are often used to design laptops, desktops, large and small household appliances, cars, smoke alarms etc.

Micro program is used in specialized processors such as digital signal processors, graphics processing unit, microcontrollers etc.

Microprocessors contain a number of micro programs which includes operations like adding, subtracting, comparing two numbers and fetching numbers from one register to another.

Micro programs are the components of all computer microprocessors that do not get altered once control units are in operation.

Microprocessors have interfaces to connect with the clock, memory and input and output.

Micro program is a stored program logic that substitutes for hardwired control circuitry.
