What makes a microprocessor different from a microcontroller?
Can you tell me what makes a microprocessor different from a microcontroller?
Yes, of course! A microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit. It is designed to perform arithmetic and logical operations on data provided externally. In contrast, a microcontroller is a complete computer on a chip. It has a CPU, memory, and input/output peripherals all on the same chip.
