Integrated Circuit Which consist of A processor, Memories,Peripherals, Input & Output is termed as Microcontroller . That is it contain .
Processor for calculation needed in arithmetic and logical operations
Memory such as Read Only Memory (ROM) and Random Access Memory (RAM) for memory operations ,
Peripherals to support the processor and to extend its capabilities,
Input and Output to communicate with the world . Such as Key board for typing ,mouse for selecting , speaker
All the above terms together functioning is termed as a microprocessor
and when it started working as system all together that system is termed
as Microcontroller
The very first single-chip processor was
built and proposed by Intel Corporation in 1971 under the name Intel
4004. It was a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU). As i can not mention
all that processors you visit

the evaluation of processors

VHDL is a language of Very High Speed Digital Electronics System . That is a Hardware Description Language . It is a standard language use in structuring and functioning designs for IC's (Integrated Circuit )
The standard is adopted by IEEE ( Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers )
VHLD is designed to full fill the following needs in designing process
1) It allows the description of the structure of a design of an integrated circuit
2) It allows the specification of the function of designs using familiar programming language forms
3) It allows a designer simulation before being manufactured, so that designers can quickly compare alternatives and test for correctness without the delay and expense of hardware prototyping
VHDL can also be used as a general purpose parallel programming language. If you know how to write computer programs using a conventional programming language such as Pascal, C or Ada then it is easy to work on VHDL .
