Logic Gates: The Building Blocks of Digital Electronics
explain how these circuits process binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems. 2. The Processor (CPU Design) Logic Gates: The Building Blocks of Digital Electronics
The processor (CPU) is a specific, optimized circuit designed to execute a sequence of stored instructions. It is not a single circuit but an orchestrated collection: the datapath (ALU, registers, buses) and the control unit (a finite state machine made of logic gates).
