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.

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

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.
