What is the difference between a microprocessor and microcontroller?
How does a microcontroller differ from a system on a chip (SoC)?
While a microcontroller is a self-contained system, an SoC integrates not only a microprocessor but also other system components like memory, interfaces, and input/output peripherals onto a single chip. The main difference is that an SoC is more powerful and versatile as it can perform more functions while a microcontroller is more specialized for a specific task.
