A micro processor is commonly thought to be the central processing unit of a computer system. This CPU may contain peripheral devices on the same chip, and connects to peripheral devices located on different chips.
Thus, a micro processor is not commonly thought to be a peripheral.
However, a micro processor is often used to create a peripheral device. For example, a hard disk drive is a peripheral device to your PC's CPU. However, the electronics within that hard disk drive itself may contain another micro processor. This micro processor acts as the CPU within the realm of the hard disk drive, but towards the total PC system, it implements a peripheral device of the central processing unit.

How is 12 bit microprocessor made?
The Intersil 6100 family consisted of a 12-bit microprocessor and a range of peripheral support and memory ICs.
What do you mean single and double handshaking of microprocessor 8086?
They are the ways of transmitting parallel data to the microprocessor. In single handshake, a peripheral device first sends a "Strobe signal" to the microprocessor to indicate that it is ready to send data. The microprocessor , upon detecting the strobe signal, opens up its input port and receives the data. After receiving data, it sends an "Acknowledge signal" to the peripheral to indicate that transmission has been completed.A transmission session has been completed. In double handshake, first the peripheral device sends a strobe signal, the microprocessor, sends the acknowledge signal to indicate that it is ready to receive data. After which data is received.After sending data, the peripheral sends a strobe signal to indicate data transmission completion, due to which, the microprocessor drops its acknowledge signal and a session has been completed. The only difference in the two is that, in double handshake, the peripheral is informed about the microprocessor's readiness to receive data. This is doesn't happen in single handshake. So the name follows "double handshake", literally meaning "double confirmation".
What is a hardware device such as a printer or scanner that is connected to a computer and controlled by the computer's microprocessor?
Anything connected to the computer is called a peripheral
What are the various types of interrupts in microprocessor?
The fluctuation in the power surges is an example of the types of interrupts in a microprocessor.
An example of peripheral?
an input device
What is an example of a microchip?
Every processor in a gadget is a microchip , a microchip can be a microprocessor or micro controller or something else. Example for microchip is processor in the CPU of a PC. Microprocessor 8085.
Which of the following is an example of an output peripheral?
monitor
How do you increment a microprocessor register?
INC {register} Example: INC A
What are the applications of decoder?
Decoders are used to analyze data streams for a certain data code and give an output if the data is present like an address to a peripheral unit that needs service. application of decoders as follow microprocessor memory system microprocessor input-output system memory chip microprocessor instruction chip & lots of other application
Why is an microprocessor so named?
Microprocessor is a combined term meaning small (micro) central processing unit (CPU), usually on one chip. An example is the 8085 or 8086/8088.Contrast this with microcomputer, which is a microprocessor that also includes ROM, RAM, and IO on the chip. An example is the 87C51.
The segment of the data bus extends between RAM and peripheral devices?
the data path between the microprocessor RAM and the peripherals along which communication travels is called the data bus.
What is the Definition of programmable peripheral interface?
It is an IC ie. 8255. it is used with in a combination with a microprocessor for the application of complex control algorithms. it is used coz of incapability of a micro-controller to achieve the same.....
