  13. What is a computer? Is the structure of a tablet very different from a traditional PC?

  14. The PC is dead • “It was fun while it lasted, but as of 2011 the era of the desktop computer is officially over.”Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/01/11/pc-is-dead-ces-tablets-smartphone/#ixzz1X1jBuY8N

  15. Different forms of computer • Can you think of a real-life example that involves the application of a microprocessor or a computer?

  16. Computer is a digital system • Computer is a combination of digital and analogue systems, but mainly digital • So to learn this subject, you also need to understand basic digital system as well as binary number system

  17. Number systems (revision) • The microprocessor (µP) is a binary device, everything inside the microprocessor is represented by 0 and 1. • The most direct number system used inside the microprocessor is the binary system (base 2) with only 0 and 1, for example 01010101. Each digit in the number represents a value in power of 2, starting from the RHS (Right hand side). The first digit is 20, then 21, 22 , etc. Usually, the most RHS bit is also called the LSB (least significant bit) while the most LHS bit is the MSB (most significant bit). • So the value 01010101 = 0x27 + 1x26 + 0x25 + 1x24 + 0x23 + 1x22 + 0x21 + 1x20 = 64+16+4+1 = 85

  18. Number system • In base 10 • 123 = 1x102 + 2x101 + 3x100 • In subtraction 0-1 = 11 because there is no (-) sign in binary system. The first “1” is called the borrow bit • In addition 1+1 = 10 the first “1” is called the carry bit

  19. Number system • In addition, we use the term byte to represent an 8-bit data and the term word to represent 16-bit value, for a 32-bit value, it is called double word. • If we want to represent a very large number then we need to use many bits and this is not very convenient. Therefore we usually use number systems derived from the binary system and the most commonly used number system are Octal (base 8) and hexademical (base 16) usually we just use the term Hex.

  20. Hex number system • In octal, only digits from 0 to 7 will be used and in hexadecimal, we use 0 to 9 and A, B, C, D, E, F to represent the values. A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15 • To convert, from a binary number to a hex, it can be done very easily, starting from the RHS, every 4-bit from the binary number can be converted directly into a hex digit. • For example: 01010101 is equal to 55H (H == hexadecimal), we have two 4-bit groups 0101 and 0101. The value 0101 = 5 so the binary pattern is 55H (in Hex). • Example: 1100 0111 1010 1011 = C 7 A B H • To convert back ABCDH = 1010 1011 1100 1101

  21. Unsigned and signed numbers • If a binary pattern represents both positive as well as negative values then it is regarded as signed, otherwise, it is unsigned (only positive). • There are two types of signed notations, using a sign bit (usually the most LHS bit) and 2’s complement. • For example using the LHS bit as a sign-bit, (0 is positive; 1 – negative ) • 10101010 = -42 while 00101010 = 42

  22. 2’s complement • Usually the 2’s complement system is used. To convert a value from X to –X using 2’s complement, we first do a 1’s complement of X and then add 1 to the result. The 1’s complement of a binary value is to invert its 0’s and 1’s. • Example: X = 00101010 = 42 first convert X using 1’s complement gives 11010101 • then add 1 to the result, i.e. 11010101 + 1 = 11010110 = -42 (comparing with pattern using sign-bit 10101010 )

  23. Floating point representation • As mentioned above, each digit in a binary pattern represents a value in the power of 2. In a floating point format, the digits after the decimal point represent value 2-1, 2-2, etc. • Example, 0.1010 = 1x2-1+0x2-2+1x2-3+0x2-4 = 0.5+0.125 = 0.625 • How to represent signed floating point values?

  24. Floating-point format Floating-point numbers are represented in the form X = ±F •2 ±E Fis called the fraction (or mantissa) and E is the exponent Floating-point number is usually represented in two standard (defined by IEEE ) 32-bit (single precision) and 64-bit (double precision). A 80-bit (extended precision) standard is also available.

  25. IEEE Floating-point standard • For single precision • There are 23 bits for fraction and 8 bits exponent and 1 sign bit • For double precision • There are 52 bits fraction, 11 bits exponent and 1 sign bit • The bit formation is sign Exp. Fraction

  26. Floating-point arithmetic • Using the format ±F •2 ±E can implement floating point arithmetic very easily • X = a x 2 b • Y = c x 2 d • X*Y = (axc)* 2 (b+d) • X/Y = (a/c )* 2 (b-d) • How about X+Y and X-Y ??????

  27. Floating-point format For single precision format • If E=255, F0; NaN (not a number) • If E=255, F=0, S=1; then –infinity • If E=255, F=0, S=0; then +infinity • If 0<E<255 , X = (-1)S*2* (E-127) *(1.F) • If E=0, F 0, X = (-1)S*2* (-126) *(0.F) • If E=0, F=0, S=1 then X = -0 • If E=0, F=0, S=0 then X = +0

  28. Example of floating point • Given 6.125 express the value in binary format using single precision floating-point format • First convert the value into the format 1.XXX*2y • 6.125 = 1.53125 x 22 • So the exponent is 2 and the fraction is 1.53125 • As all floating-point values always come with the ‘1.’ so the ‘1.’ is not stored and only 53125 is saved!!!! • 0.53125 = .10001 • 0 10000001 10001000000000000… E-127 = 2 => E=129

  29. Exercise • Convert the number -4.5 into a IEEE 32-bit floating-point pattern • Convert 9 into a IEEE 32-bit floating point • Without using a calculator, determine 01010010 + 10101101 • Without using a calculator, determine 01010010 – 10101101

  30. Characters • In addition to values, characters are also represented using binary codes usually in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code.

  31. ASCII table A = 41H ; a = 61H so a>A

  32. Chinese characters • Chinese characters and other non-ASCII characters are represented by two bytes • There are different coding systems to represent Chinese characters such as Unicode, Big5 etc. • A font file must be installed in order to display the corresponding characters

  33. Big 5 code • Every Chinese Character is represented by a two byte code. The first byte ranges from 0xA1 to 0xF9, while the second byte ranges from 0x40 to 0x7E, 0xA1 to 0xFE • Since the MSB of the two byte code is always set. Thus, in a document that contain Chinese characters and regular ASCII characters, the ASCII characters are still represented with a single byte.

  34. Some examples

  37. Microprocessor/Microcomputer What is a Microcomputer • A complete computer based on a particular microprocessor chip. • So the microprocessor is the most important component in a microcomputer • So to study a microcomputer system, we must first understand the microprocessor What is a Microprocessor • Processor-on-a-chip can be described as a microprocessor. • 8051 series, 8086, Pentium series, etc

  38. Block diagram of a generic microcomputer system Hard Disk CD ROM RAM Data and address bus Keyboard, mouse Monitor, printer

  39. Microprocessor based system such as an electronic mouse uP with Control program motor sensor Output Input

  40. Structure of a modern computer system

  41. Features of microprocessor • Operating frequency • Size of register and how many? • Size of data bus • Size of address bus • Size of cahce • Number of core

  42. Different types of microprocessor • Microprocessors can also be classified based on the instructions. There are two fundamentally different approaches in the design of instruction set. One popular approach is called Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC). In a RISC, each instruction occupies exactly one word. Examples include ARM, PIC. • Devices using ARM processor – Blackberry • Cortex processor is also from ARM

  43. CISC • An alternative to RISC is to make use of more complex instructions which may span more than one word of memory, and which may specify more complicated operations. Processors based on this idea is called Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC). The Intel x86 CPUs and AMD processors are examples of CISC

  44. The Intel 8086 Microprocessor • The 8086 is a popular device used in the early 70’s and 80’s and its architecture is simple and suitable for teaching computer architecture • Once we gain the basic concept of the 8086, we can then discuss the more advanced microprocessors • Many features found in 8086 are still being embedded in modern microprocessors but enhanced!

  45. 8086 Microprocessor • This is a 16-bit microprocessor chip manufactured by high-performance metal-oxide semiconductor (HMOS) technology • Circuitry on chip is approximately 29,000 transistors • Comes in a 40-pin package

  46. Self test • Do you know what does it mean by 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit processor? • How would you describe an Intel Core2 Duo CPU ?

  47. Basic 8086 features • True 16-bit microprocessor with 16-bit internal and external data bus • The address bus and data bus are multiplexed??? • Multiplex – address and data share the same pin!! • A 20-bit address bus which allows access to 1 MB of memory. • Can address up to 64K byte-wide I/O ports • Or 32K word-wide ports (word = 16 bits) • Details regarding I/O ports will be discussed in the I/O System

  48. Pins layout for 8086 A/D – address/data (address and data share the pins - multiplexed) Also pay attention to “active high” and “active low” signals

  49. 8086 Features • The 8086 has two modes – min. and max. • Min. mode – used as a typical microprocessor • Max. mode – use with multiple processors, usually for floating-point arithmetic) • The mode selection is via the MN/MX input
