Computer Organization By: Maria Jannelli Kimberly Chiffens

The Plan Explore the Binary Values and Number systems Explain the concepts of gates and the different types of gates NOT AND OR XOR NAND NOR

The Plan Learning to construct gates Explore circuits and how we combine gates to form circuits Combinational circuit Sequential circuit Integrated circuits Memory in circuits

The Plan Learning about the CPU Explore all Individual Computer Components Explore What the Stored-Program Concept is The Memory Arithmetic/Logic Unit Input/Output Units Control Units

The Plan Explain Assembly Languages and how it works Explore the major parts of the computer and CPU

The main concepts Binary number system- a numeral system that represents numeric values using two symbols. Gates- A device that performs a basic operation on electrical signals, accepting one or more input signals and producing a single output signal Circuit- A combination of interacting gates designed to accomplish a specific logical function. The Central Processing Unit (CPU)- a description of logic machines that can execute computer programs it is the “brains” of the computer.

The main concepts Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU)- performs basic arithmetic operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing two numbers. Input unit- A device that accepts data to store in the memory Output unit- A device that prints or otherwise displays data stored in memory or makes a permanent copy of information stored in memory or another device. Control unit- computer component that controls that controls the actions of the other components so as to execute instructions in sequence. Assembly language- A low-level programming language in which a mnemoric represents each of the machine- language instructions for a particular computer.
