1] _______________ A complex electronic circuit fabricated on a simple piece of material, usually a silicon.

2] _______________ A memory chip used for the main memory of a microcomputer. Application software will both store and retrieve information from this type of chip.

3] _______________ The control circuitry necessary to perform the operations of a computer.

4] _______________ A single semiconductor chip or a small number of chips that contains the arithmetic and control logic circuitry necessary to perform the operations of a computer.

5] _______________ A large circuit board into which can be plugged a number of smaller boards, or circuit elements. This board becomes the backbone of a computer system.

6] _______________ Converts AC voltage to low-voltage DC. The output is tightly regulated to keep noise pulses and voltage variations from upsetting the computer's circuits.

7] _______________ A channel or path for transferring data and electrical signals.

8] _______________ A unit of information storage capacity in computer memory; it is sufficient to store either a 0 or a 1. It is short for Binary Digit.

9] _______________ The mathematical circuitry necessary to perform the operations of a computer.

10] _______________ A computer storage device, usually of minimal capacity, which accepts multiple surfaces. Data on these surfaces may be randomly accessed.

11] _______________ A computer storage device, usually of substantial capacity. It is much slower than a hard drive and data must be sequentially accessed. It is used primarily for backup purposes.

12] _______________ The amount of space necessary to store one character; usually eight bits.

13] _______________A proposed standard for defining codes for information exchange between equipment produced by different manufacturers.

14] _______________ A computer storage device, usually of substantial capacity, which has fixed/permanent surfaces. Data on these surfaces may be randomly accessed.

15] _______________A most common hardware device used to input information and commands into a computer system.

16] _______________ A memory chip on which a series of instruction have been permanently stored. This type of chip might store a copy of your favorite word processor or spreadsheet on your laptop computer.

17] _______________ A surface device which an operator can manipulate in order to control a pointer image on the computer system.

18] _______________A hardware device used to project a visual image into the processing of a computer system. It is the most common computer output device.

19] ______________ A data communication device that enables computers to communicate via telephone lines.

20] ______________ A seventy-two pin random access memory module.

21] ______________ ring-shapped portion of a floppy/hard disk surface.

22] ______________ rectangular-shapped portion within one track of one sector of a floppy/hard disk surface.

23] ______________ those devices that provide input to the computer. sensors, touch screen monitor, etc.

24] ______________ A computer storage read and/or read/write device, always of substantial capacity, which has one surface. Data on this surface may be randomly accessed using laser technology.

25] ______________ the process of laying out a structure on the disk that will enable the disk to receive information.

26] ______________ pie-shapped portion of a floppy/hard disk surface.

21] ______________ those devices that receive output from the computer.

27] Name at least five computer output devices ________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________

28] Name at least five computer input devices ________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________

29] ______________ the physical devices and components associated with the computer.

30] _______________ (~ a thousand bytes)

31] _______________ (~ a million bytes)

32] _______________ (~ a billion bytes)
