Question

Compare a microprocessor with a microcontroller.

Answer 1

Microprocessor	Microcontroller
μP have many operational codes for moving data and performing operations, but it has only few bit-handling instructions.	μC have one or two operational codes for moving data from and performing operations, but it has many bit- handling instructions.
μP is concerned with rapid movement of code and data from external addresses to the chip.	μC is concerned with rapid movement of bits within the chip.
μP need external digital parts (Hardware) to perform its tasks as computer.	μC can function as computer without addition of external digital parts.
μP are used in general purpose computing devices, supports wide range of applications with general hardware.	μC are used in embedded systems and supports only dedicated applications with customized hardware.
