What is a CPU and What Does it Do?
Summary
A transistor is a binary switch that prevents or allows current to flow through, thereby conveying ones or zeros that translate into performing an action. The major components that make up the CPU include: • Memory Unit - stores all the data and the instructions required for processing. The instruction set allows the CPU to execute specific operations, which can include adding two numbers together, jumping to a different part of the program, or comparing two values. Devices today are also increasingly incorporating the use of multi-core processors to help enhance performance while decreasing power consumption. Our I2C or SPI host adapters specifically can emulate master or slave devices to validate responses and communication occurring on the bus.
