What are the main difference between Micro-controller and
micro-processor?

Answer Posted / sandeep

These are the diffrence. They are easy to understand.

Microprocessor = cpu
Microcontroller = cpu + peripherals + memory
Peripherals = ports + clock + timers + uarts + adc
converters +lcd drivers + dac + other stuff
Memory = eeprom + sram + eprom + flash

A microcontroller has a combination of all this stuff.
A microprocessor is just a CPU .

Some of them are 8051, 8255, 8253/8454(timer), 8279
(keyboard/display controller).

Hope, this information may be sufficient to you.
