The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What makes a microprocessor different from a microcontroller?
And what about microcontrollers? What are they used for?
Microcontrollers are used in embedded systems where a single-purpose application-specific interface is required. They are found in devices like home appliances, automobiles, medical devices, and industrial systems. Microcontrollers can be programmed to perform specific functions, such as controlling a motor or reading sensor data, without needing additional hardware.
