Analog computer
Analog computer measures and answer
the questions by the method of “HOW
MUCH”. The input data is not a number
infect a physical quantity like tem,
pressure, speed, velocity.
Signals are continuous of (0 to 10 V)
Accuracy 1% Approximately
High speed
Output is continuous
Time is wasted in transmission time
Analog computer
Digital Computers
Digital computer counts and answer the
questions by the method of “HOW Many”. The
input data is represented by a number. These
are used for the logical and arithmetic
operations.
Signals are two level of (0 V or 5 V)
Accuracy unlimited
low speed sequential as well as parallel
processing
Output is continuous but obtain when
computation is completed.
Micro Computer
Micro computer are the smallest
computer system. There size range
from calculator to desktop size. Its
CPU is microprocessor. It also known
as Grand child Computer.
Application : - personal computer,
Multi user system, offices.

These are also small general purpose
system. They are generally more
powerful and most useful as
compared to micro computer. Mini
computer are also known as mid
range computer or Child computer.
Application :- Departmental systems,
Network Servers, work group system.
Mini computer
Main Frame Computer
Mainframe computers are those
computers that offer faster
processing and grater storage area.
The word “main frame” comes from
the metal frames. It is also known as
Father computer.
Application – Host computer, Central
data base server.
