HARDWARE COMPONENT OF A CPU


HARDWARE COMPONENT OF A CPU
1.MotherBoard: Motherboard is the main circuit board of a computer that lies in the CPU to which all the hardware parts are connected. It is in the form of a large multilayered printed circuit which contains connector for attaching addition devices.
        Typically motherboard contains slot for processor, BIOS, RAM, ROM chip, CMOS setup, etc. The chips that are attached on the motherboard are known as the ‘Motherboard Chipset’.
2.SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply)
SMPS is an electrical regulator component that receives electricity from the main power supply and then supplies appropriate power to the other components of computer.It takes the required amount of electricity from mains or UPS and converts the AC current into DC current with required voltage.
3 Processor:
It is the most important component of a computer system. It does all calculations and comparisons in a rapid speed. Its speed is measured in higher units of hertz(Hz). It is often called the CPU. Some processors are: Pentium series, Dual Core, Core 2 Duo, IBM Cyrix, Core-i3,Core- i5 etc.

4 PORT:
Computer port is an interface between the computer and peripheral devices like mouse, keyboard, printer etc.
A computer port is also called as a Communication port as it facilitates communication between computer and its peripheral device. Generally a desktop computer’s motherboard consists of USB ports, serial ports, serial port, parallel port etc.
5 CARDS
Cards are the devices that enable the user to configure or customize a computer to perform specific tasks or to enhance its performance. Ex- TV tuner, Graphics card.
Such cards are attached to motherboard’s PCI (Peripherals Connecting Interface) slots.

ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS ON BINARY NUMBER

Binary arithmetic is simpler to learn because binary number system deals with only two digits - 0 and 1. Binary number perform all arithmetic operation such as Addition, Substraction, Multiplication and compliment as in decimal number system. Binary Addition The addition table for binary arithmetic consist of only the following four entries: 0+0=0 0+1=1 1+0=1 1+1=0 , plus a carry of 1 to the next column.     1011        + 1100    10111     1100    + 1100     11000 Binary Substraction There are three ways to do substraction between binary numbers:- 1. Simple Substraction 2. Substraction using 1's Complement 3. Substraction using 2's Complement Simple Substraction: The complete table of binary substraction is as follows: 0-0=0 0-1=1, borrow 1 from next column 1-0=1 1-1=0    1101 - 0101   1000     1001   - 0111    0...

Media Of Communication Part 2

Unguided Media Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication. We can divided wireless transmission in :-   1. Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic   waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.   On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.     Bluetooth :- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.      Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.    ·   Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up...

Application OF Computer

Communication : - In the past, people used to communication through letters, telephones etc. The advent of computers has made it possible to share or exchange information in real time (instant). Information can be textual, graphics or visual from any corner of the world in different ways. Like – Email, Online chatting, Video conferencing, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telnet, Social Networking. News & Broadcasting : The delivery and reception of news has changed dramatically with the advent of computers. Earlier, Journalists used snail mail, reel-to-reel recorders, dark-room processing for photos and typewriters for composing contents. But now computers have facilitated in Instant Broadcast, Online Newspapers, Online News Channels, etc. Social Networking: Before the advent of computer, people used to interact with friends and relatives in closed groups and meet them during family functions, religious ceremonies and gatherings at local temples, gurudwaras, mosques or church...
