The design has been implemented using the Xilinx 9.2i VHDL synthesis tool. The microprocessor is basically an electronic device consisting of ALU and control circuitry that is required to function as a computer CPU. The microprocessor is an integrated circuit that interprets and executes program instructions and behaves intelligently. The processor operates at an internal clock speed and the clock speed depends on the no. of pulses per second. With each clock pulse, the processor performs the function corresponding to the instruction. Therefore, the power of the processor can be calculated with the reference number. of instructions executed per second. During the execution of the instructions, the data is temporarily stored in memory units called registers. The control signal is the electronic signals used for communication between several processor units during the execution of the instruction.

The control signal is the electronic signals used for communication between several processor units during the execution of the instruction. The 16-bit microprocessor contains several basic modules that together complete the processor. The processor uses a 16-bit data bus to communicate through different sections such as general purpose registers, arithmetic logic unit, CU (control unit), memory, comparator, program counter, address register, instruction register and shift record. With the advancement in integrated circuit technology the power of the processor has increased enormously. Microprocessors are widely used in the embedded sector based on general purpose application and special purpose application. Microprocessors are used in instruments to make it intelligent using behavioral coding.
