What are the main difference between Micro-Controller and
Micro- Processor?
Answer / pooja chaudhari
A microprocessor (abbreviated as μP or uP) is a computer electronic component made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor intgrated circuit (IC) (microchip or just chip). The central processing unit (CPU) is the most well known microprocessor, but many other components in a computer have them, such as the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on a video card. In the world of personal computers, the terms microprocessor and CPU are used interchangeably. At the heart of all personal computers and most workstations sits a microprocessor. Microprocessors also control the logic of almost all digital devices, from clock radios to fuel‐injection systems for automobiles.
Microcontroller is a computer‐on‐a‐chip optimised to control electronic devices. It is designed specifically for specific tasks such as controling a specific system. A microcontroller (sometimes abbreviated μC, uC or MCU) is basically a specialized form of microprocessor that is designed to be self‐sufficient and cost‐effective. Also, a microcontroller is part of an embedded system, which is essentially the whole circuit board. An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often with real‐time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.
