What you'll learn

  • Computer Organization

Course content

1 section • 5 lectures • 45m total length

  • Introduction - Computer Basics15:23

    Explore the basics of the computer, its hardware and software, and the block diagram with input, output, CPU, memory, buses, control unit, and arithmetic logic unit.

  • Computer Languages5:57

    Explore machine language, assembly language, and high-level languages, and learn how assemblers and compilers translate programs into binary for universal computer execution.

  • Computer Software7:35

    Explore the distinction between system software and application software, and how programs are loaded from secondary storage into memory and executed by the CPU through fetch, decode, and execute.

  • Digital Communication6:30

    Explore serial transmission, using a single wire to transfer data between computers. Compare it with parallel transmission, which uses multiple lines for faster, short-distance data transfer and higher cost.

  • Serial Data Transmission10:11

    Explore serial data transmission, contrasting it with parallel transfer, covering synchronous and asynchronous modes, start-stop framing, and duplex options (half, full, simplex), and common standards like rs-232.

Requirements

  • None

Description

In this course, you'll learn about computer hardware & software along with the fundamentals of computers and their parts I/O, CPU, Memory, and Buses. Types of memory: RAM & ROM their use in computers. Difference between static RAM and dynamic RAM. Then, the difference between EPROM & EEPROM. CPU parts: Control unit and Arithmetic logic unit.


How the control signals are generated using hardwired and microprogrammed control for communication with memory and input/output devices. The function of ALU to perform arithmetic operations such as ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, etc, and logical operations such as logical AND, OR, XOR, etc. What is a bus and its types: address bus, data bus control bus.


Also about computer languages: machine language, assembly language & higher-level language & about computer software: system software & application software. Understanding how the instructions are executed. Then about digital data communication, its types: serial and parallel data transfer. Difference between serial & parallel data transmission and basics of serial communication, synchronous & asynchronous communication. Meanings of Simplex, Half duplex & Full duplex. Then about baud rate and RS-232 serial bus standard.


The course is useful primarily for polytechnic & engineering students of all disciplines and also for anyone who is interested in learning the basics of computer.
