This document provides an overview of microprocessors. It discusses that a microprocessor is a clock driven semiconductor device manufactured using LSI or VLSI techniques. It can be divided into an arithmetic logic unit, register array, and control unit. Memory stores binary instructions and data for the microprocessor. Input/output devices allow communication with external components via a system bus. The document also discusses microprocessor architecture, languages like assembly and machine code, and provides details on the 8085 microprocessor from Intel including its address bus, data bus and control bus.
