MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER

Detailed explanation-1: -A microprocessor is a computer processor where the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs. The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU).

Detailed explanation-2: -A microprocessor controls all functions of the CPU, or central processing unit, of a computer or other digital device. The microprocessor functions as an artificial brain. The entire function of the CPU is controlled by a single integrated circuit.

Detailed explanation-3: -The microprocessor, also known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU), is the brain of all computers and many household and electronic devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -microcomputer, an electronic device with a microprocessor as its central processing unit (CPU). Microcomputer was formerly a commonly used term for personal computers, particularly any of a class of small digital computers whose CPU is contained on a single integrated semiconductor chip.
