MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER

Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller than a mainframe or minicomputer, a microcomputer uses a single integrated semiconductor chip for its central processing unit (CPU).

Detailed explanation-2: -On the other hand, a microprocessor–also known as a logic chip–is essentially a single-chip implementation of a CPU. A microprocessor contains all of a CPU’s functions and can perform arithmetic and logic operations with registers. However, a microprocessor’s functions differ in some ways to a CPU.
