Skillshare - Digital Electronics From Transistor to How a Microprocessor Works

What is the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor and how do they work?
How is that possible that in just a century, big and ugly vacuum tubes got replaced by transistors, which then got shrunk to the size of a rice grain and integrated on a piece of silicon, giving birth to the first commercially available microprocessor (the Intel 4004), with a transistor count of just 2,250 and a clock speed of 740kHz, to modern processors (like the M1 chip) with 16 BILLION transistors running on clock speeds higher than 3GHz?
What you will learn:
- The basics of electronics
- Logic Gates
- Negative and Floating Point Numbers, ASCII, UNICODE
- Boolean Arithmetic Using Logic Gates
- Registers and RAM
- Central Processing Unit - CPU
- Arithmetic Logic Unit - ALU
- Instruction Sets
- Advanced CPU Design
- CPU Architectures
- How Programming Languages Were Born
- Assembly Language
- Integrated Circuits
- Microcontrollers
- Operating Systems
It's going to be a long journey, but an interesting and exciting one.
Are you ready to embark upon the Digital Electronics Crusade? Can't wait to see you on board!
