The microprocessor is a CPU on a chip whereas a micro-controller is a system on a chip. Personnel computer is general application of the microprocessor whereas micro-controller find its use in control functions Microprocessor based design need lot of support peripheral ICs whereas the micro-controller based design need no support chips. Generally Micro-controller based system is designed on a motherboard as need lot of support ICs, micro-controller based design are on a small board Microprocessor is a general purpose device whereas micro-controller is a specific purpose device When we buy a microprocessor based system we look for speed, memory and their configuration whereas we only talk about the function i can perform. these are some of the differences between Microprocessor and Micro-controller <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/0GqGfxSZKbE” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/upYxUt_iKZI” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe> Share on Facebook Share Send email Mail Print Print
