What are the main difference between Micro-Controller and
Micro- Processor?

Answer Posted / pooja chaudhari

A microprocessor (abbreviated as &#956;P 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&#8208;injection systems for automobiles.
 
 
Microcontroller is a computer&#8208;on&#8208;a&#8208;chip optimised to control electronic devices. It is designed specifically for specific tasks such as controling a specific system. A microcontroller (sometimes abbreviated &#956;C, uC or MCU) is basically a specialized form of microprocessor that is designed to be self&#8208;sufficient and cost&#8208;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&#8208;time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.
