    Microprocessor Vs Microcontroller

    Microprocessors contain only a CPU on a single chip, while microcontrollers integrate a CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O ports, and other peripherals onto a single chip. Microcontrollers have fixed and limited onboard memory and I/O ports, operate at lower clock speeds, consume less power, and are used in embedded systems like smart devices, appliances, and consumer electronics. In contrast, microprocessors are standalone CPUs used in applications like desktop PCs and laptops that require external memory, I/O, and higher processing power.

    2. In microprocessors, CPU is 2. In microcontroller, CPU, RAM,
    stand alone. RAM, ROM, I/O, timer ROM, I/O and timer all are on a
    are seperate. single chip.
    3. In microprocessors, Designer 3. In microcontrollers, fixed amount

    changed. (Note: these devices can be
    externally interfaced)

    5. Microprocessors are basic 5. Microcontrollers are generally
    componets of personal computers used in embedded systems

    7. The clock frequency is very high 7. The clock frequency is less


    usually in the order of Giga Hz. usually in the order of Mega Hz.

    8. Microprocessors have few bit 8. Bit manipulation is powerful &


    manipulation instructions. widely used in microcontrollers.
    Microcontrollers have numerous
    bit manipulation instructions.
    9. Microprocessors are used in 9. Microcontrollers are specially
