Introduction
 A microprocessor is a chip containing some control and logic circuits that
is capable of making arithmetic and logical decisions based on input data
and produces the corresponding arithmetic or logical output.
 It is the CPU of the computer which controls the memory, input/output
devices, and overall operation in the computer .
 It is the central processing unit built on single chip.
History
 The microprocessor revolution began with a bold and innovative approach
in logic design pioneered by Intel engineer Ted Hoff.
 In 1969, Intel received a contract from a Japanese company , Busicom, to
design a programming calculator . It was designed successfully with a
general purpose logic device that can be programmed by storing the
necessary patterns of 0s and 1s in memory.
 In 1971, Intel released the first 4-bit microprocessor as the 4004.
Evolution

 Cell phones, satellites ,etc
Conclusion
With the manufacture of Latest microprocessors the use and function of it is
increasing in number.
