It's in the name a microcontroller PRIMARILY controls stuff, a microprocessor PRIMARILY process stuff. Interesting. I have two completely different definitions. When microprocessors first came out they were called micro processors because they were little more than a central processor unit on a microchip. To make them do anything usefull, like control something, you had to add external ROM, RAM and peripherals. When microcontrollers first came out they were basically microprocessors with on chip peripherals. In some cases, like the 8051, some control oriented instructions like bit operations were added. In some cases, like the 8051, their microprocessor origins were apparent in that thay still made provision for external address and data busses Ian |
