Evolution of Microprocessor
INDEX
• Introduction
• ENIAC
• First Generation
• Second Generation
• Third Generation
• Fourth Generation
• Fifth Generation
INTRODUCTION
• English mathematician Charles Babbage first man to basic principle of modern computers from 1792-1871 – also father of modern
computers
• 1944 – prof. H. Alken – first practical electro mechanical digital computer in collaboration with IBM – called as HAWARD MARK-I
• (1936-1944) - Konard joos – German – developed computer based on 0’s and 1’s rather than decimals numbers, so developed
computers making use of relays(on-off for 1’s and 0’s)
• 1945 – john j Maunchy & J. Presper Eckert Of university of Pennsylvania – developed first electronic computer – ENIAC(Electronic
Numerical Integrator and Calculator)
• 1948 – invention of semiconductor transistors – by Bell laboratory – advantages of reduced size and increased capability also leads
to reduction of cost.
• 1958 – Jack Kilby – Texas instrument – invented of integrated circuits – advantages of small size computers, become more versatile
• 1971 - developed first microprocessor INTEL 4004 – Marcian E. Hoff – Intel Coporation – 4 bit MP
ENIAC(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator)
• Too huge weighing 30 tons & occupied area 30’ x 50’
• 1800 vacuum tubes, 30,000 registers, 10,000 capacitors & 6000 switches
• PMOS technology gave low cost but low speed and not compatible with
microprocessor
SECOND GENERATION MICROPROCESSOR
• FAIRCHILD F8
2 additional devices to design functional CPU
• 8080 – 64K bytes memory, 8008 – 16K bytes memory MOTOROLA M6800
• Adv. of 8085 – internal clock generator, internal system controller and higher clock frequency
ZILOG Z-80
• ADVANTAGES :
• 40 pins SIGNETICS 2650
• More no: of on-chip decoded timing signals
• Ability to address more I/O Ports
• More Powerful instruction set
• Faster operation
• Better Interrupt handling capabilities
THIRD GENERATION MICROPROCESSOR
• Introduces in 1978
MOTOROLA MC 88100
FIFTH GENERATION MICROPROCESSOR
• Introductory Pentium versions operates with a clock frequency 60 MHz and 66 MHz
