Harshad Italiyavenkatasaiwhat is the main difference between micro processor and micro controller
Microcotroller have inbuilt Timer/Counter internal RAM etc
in short Microcontroller is advance then Microprocessor. -
silverscorpionWell, Micro controller is a complete system in itself. It has flash memory, RAM, timers etc in itself.
A microprocessor has only the internal registers and nothing else in itself. You've to interface the memory and all the other circuitry to get it working.
That's the difference. In essence, a micro controller is a microprocessor with built in supporting circuitry. Hope it's clear!! -
MungutiA microcontroller is a microproccessor with inbuilt functionalities such that it can be used on its own to control stuff. Mostly used for systems not requiring that much memory.
