How computers work?

Integrated circuit : An electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, performing the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components.
Central processing unit : The part of a computer in which operations are controlled and executed.
Arithmetic and logic unit : A digital circuit used to perform arithmetic and logic operations. It represents the fundamental building block of the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer.
Control unit : A component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs operation of the processor.
Clock speed : The operating speed of a computer or its microprocessor, defined as the rate at which it performs internal operations and expressed in cycles per second (megahertz).
Hertz : The SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second.
MHz : One million hertz, especially as a measure of the frequency of radio transmissions or the clock speed of a computer.
GHz : A unit of measurement for alternating current (AC) or electromagnetic (EM) wave frequencies equal to 1,000,000,000 Hz.
Cache memory : An auxiliary memory from which high-speed retrieval is possible.
RAM memory : A form of computer data storage.
ROM memory : A type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices.
CMOS memory : Describes the type of material from which this special memory is made.
Analog Signal : Any continuous signal for which the time varying feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity.
Digital Signal : A signal that represents a sequence of discrete values.
Binary system : A system in which information can be expressed by combinations of the digits 0 and 1.
