Once the program is embedded on a microcontroller chip, it can’t be altered easily and you may need some special tools to reburn it. The microcontroller is designed for a specific task or to perform the assigned task repeatedly. Microprocessors are not made for a specific task as well as they are useful where tasks are complex and tricky like the development of software, games, and other applications that require high memory and where input and output are not defined.ĭo you understand? I think a bit, but it’s ok, let’s understand by some daily life examplesĪ) Household devices: Complex home security, Home computers, Video game systems and many more.ī) Transportation and Industrial Devices: Automobiles, trains, planes, Computer servers, high tech medical devices, etc.ĭid you notice! All the above applications are complex and they need to process all complicated data. These all other parts are connected externally. It only contains a CPU (central processing unit) but there are many other parts needed to work with the CPU to complete a process. In simple words, The microprocessor is useful in very intensive processes.

Also, at last, I will give you some interesting tips to know how to choose a microprocessor or microcontroller for your DIY project. In this blog, we are going to discuss microcontroller Vs microprocessor in detail.

We all are always confused about what is the difference between a microprocessor and microcontroller? Is it really that difficult to understand? Let’s find out. So get ready for more comprehensive knowledge. But don’t worry, after reading some blogs and watching some youtube videos I came to this conclusion. Microcontroller, microprocessor…ufff!!! when I was in my college days these two words literally blown my mind, I hope the same thing is happening with you too. The blog covers some the differences between a Microprocessor and a Microcontroller.ĭifference between microprocessor and microcontroller
