University of Manchester

This unit takes user commands in the form of data and convert them into a digital language format sent to the processing unit for the next step.

Input unit

This unit understands the command and how it can be achieved. It converts the data accepted in human language into machine language for computers to interpret

Central Processing Unit

Which statement is NOT TRUE about the Memory Unit

This manages the computer device functions and is the central component of the CPU.

Which statement is TRUE about the Control Unit

Once the data is in the memory, it processes it for execution. It is where the data conversion from human language to machine language occurs as it interprets the signal and sends it over to the output unit.
