Historical Development of Microcomputers: From 4-bit to 128-bit Architecture, Slides of Microcomputers

An historical overview of the development of microcomputers from the late 1960s to the present day. It covers the introduction of key microprocessors such as the 4000 series, the 8085, z80, 6502, 9900, 8086, 68000, 68020, and the evolution of architectural designs from 4-bit to 128-bit internal and external buses. Prices and applications of these microcomputers are also discussed.

Historical Perspective

 Late 60’s – 4 bit calculator chips

 1972 – 4040, 8080, 6800 (6 mo later) ~$

 1974,75 – Intel 8085, Zilog Z80 ~$

 1975 – MOS Technology 6502 ~$

 1975,76 – TI 9900 (16 bit processor)

 1978 – Intel 8086 – 16MHz ~ $3.

 1979 – Motorola 68000 – 12 MHz ~$12.

 1983,84 – Motorola 68020 – 16 MHz ~$39.

Architecural Evolution

 4 bit internal – 4 bit data bus – 8 bit address

 8 bit internal – 8 bit data bus – 16 bit address

 16 bit internal – 8 bit data bus – 20 bit address

 16 bit internal – 16 bit data bus – 22 bit addr

 32 bit internal – 16 bit data bus – 24 bit addr

 32 bit internal – 32 bit data bus – 28 bit addr

 64 bit internal – 32 bit data bus – 32 bit addr

 64 bit internal – 64 bit data bus – 32 bit addr

 128 bit internal?????? and the future ?????

And the price for memory

 In the 1970s

 A 16 MB memory card for a TMS 80 (max

memory 64 MB) was $200.

 Today

 DDR2 2G Memory DIMM – 800MHz - $

 DDR3 2G Memory DIMM– 1.333MHz - $

 8 G Byte MMC memory card - $20 to $

Some basic definitions

 Microprocessor – a single CPU on a single IC

chip. Contains both control and RALU

 Does not have on chip memory, timers, or I/O

ports

 Microcomputer – uProcessor with memory,

I/O, timing, control, interfaces, powersupply

 RALU – Register/Arithmetic Logic Unit
