What is difference between microprocessor and microcontroller? In these differences between microprocessor and microcontroller have been disuscced. For more info check this link http://microcontrollerslab.com/difference-between-microprocessor-and-microcontroller/
2. Microprocessor
•Microprocessor is general purpose microprocessor
use to perform arithmetic and logic operations . It is
main component of personal computers and
embedded systems application.
•Microprocessor don not have any peripheral
connected to it. Like RAM, ROM, TIMERS,
COUNTERS, Input/output . You have to connect all
peripherals with it to use it in Personal computers
and embedded systems based applications.
3. Microprocessor block
diagram
As shown in block diagram, we need to connect
RAM, ROM, I/O. TIMERS and counters to used
microprocessors in personal computers
4. Microcontroller
•Microcontroller have on chip fixed amount of
RAM, ROM, Input/ output ports, timers and
counters.
•Microcontrollers are suitable for low speed
and low cost applications.
•Microcontrollers have low processing speed
and suitable for specific applications.
•Microcontrollers have low power
consumption.
