  • A microprocessor is a computer processor that combines data processing logic and control on a single integrated circuit (IC) or a small number of ICs. The arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to accomplish the duties of a computer's central processing unit are contained in the microprocessor.
  • The integrated circuit can interpret and execute computer instructions as well as conduct math operations. The microprocessor is a digital integrated circuit that accepts binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and outputs results (also in binary form).
  • Microprocessors use the binary number system to represent numbers and symbols, and they use both combinational and sequential digital logic.
