What is the difference between a microprocessor and microcontroller?
Can you tell me the difference between a microprocessor and microcontroller?
Sure, a microprocessor is a single integrated circuit that contains the processing unit of a computer. It does not have any other components integrated into it. On the other hand, a microcontroller contains a microprocessor along with other components like memory, input/output ports, and timers on a single chip. This makes it a self-contained system that can control different devices.
