Each B cell requires 3 gates. Hence, 12 gates are needed for all four B cells. The carries c1, c2, c3, and c4 produced by the carry-lookahead logic, require 2, 3, 4, and 5 gates, respectively. According to the four logic expressions, c1 = G0 + P0c0 c2 = G1 + P1G0 + P1P0c0 c3 […]

A processor, also known as a central processing unit (CPU), is a computer’s primary component that performs most of the processing tasks. It is responsible for executing instructions of a computer program and managing the flow of data through a computer system. It is often referred to as the “brain” of a computer. Processor major

The four main structural components are the Central Processing Unit (CPU), main memory, input/output devices, and system interconnection. Central Processing Unit (CPU): Controls the operation of the computer and performs its data processing functions; often simply referred to as a processor. It is the brain and the heart of the computer. The operations of a

The four main functions of a computer are data processing, data storage, and data movement control. Data processing: Data may take a wide variety of forms, and the range of processing requirements is the board. However, we shall see that there are a few fundamental methods or types of data processing. Data storage: Even if
