Difference between microprocessor and microcontroller
Download as pptx, pdf9 likes4,198 views
Microprocessors are general-purpose processors that require external peripherals for operation, making them central to personal computers and embedded systems. In contrast, microcontrollers integrate RAM, ROM, input/output ports, and timers on-chip, making them ideal for low-speed, low-cost applications with low power consumption. The document provides a comparative overview of both technologies along with their respective block diagrams.

Difference between microprocessor and microcontroller
- 2. Microprocessor •Microprocessor is general purpose microprocessor use to perform arithmetic and logic operations . It is main component of personal computers and embedded systems application. •Microprocessor don not have any peripheral connected to it. Like RAM, ROM, TIMERS, COUNTERS, Input/output . You have to connect all peripherals with it to use it in Personal computers and embedded systems based applications.
- 3. Microprocessor block diagram As shown in block diagram, we need to connect RAM, ROM, I/O. TIMERS and counters to used microprocessors in personal computers
- 4. Microcontroller •Microcontroller have on chip fixed amount of RAM, ROM, Input/ output ports, timers and counters. •Microcontrollers are suitable for low speed and low cost applications. •Microcontrollers have low processing speed and suitable for specific applications. •Microcontrollers have low power consumption.
- 5. Block diagram of microcontroller Block diagram of microcontroller is shown below.
