Microcontroller vs Microprocessor: A Comprehensive Comparative
Understanding the differences between microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs) is crucial for optimizing application design. A microcontroller (MCU) is a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system, However, a microprocessor (MPU) is a central processing unit (CPU) used in a computer system that performs the computation and decision-making tasks.
