I'm reading about computes and learning the basics so please no flaming this nooby. Can some one please help to explain what this means.
This is about as simple as a microprocessor gets. This microprocessor has:
*An address bus (that may be 8, 16 or 32 bits wide) that sends an address to memory
*A data bus (that may be 8, 16 or 32 bits wide) that can send data to memory or receive data from memory
*An RD (read) and WR (write) line to tell the memory whether it wants to set or get the addressed location
*A clock line that lets a clock pulse sequence the processor
*A reset line that resets the program counter to zero (or whatever) and restarts execution
