    Computer Architecture Vs Computer Organization

    Computer Architecture
    Computer Architecture is a blueprint for design and implementation of a
    computer system. It provides the functional details and behavior of a
    computer system and comes before computer organization. Computer
    architecture deals with 'What to do?'
    Computer Organization
    Computer Organization is how operational parts of a computer system are
    linked together. It implements the provided computer architecture.
    Computer organization deals with 'How to do?'
    Following are some of the important differences between Computer

    Difference between Microprocessor and Microcontroller

    What is Microcontroller?

    A microcontroller is a chip optimized to control electronic devices. It is


    stored in a single integrated circuit which is dedicated to performing a
    particular task and execute one specific application.

    It is specially designed circuits for embedded applications and is widely


    used in automatically controlled electronic devices. It contains memory,
    processor, and programmable I/O.

    What is a Microprocessor?

    A microprocessor is a controlling unit of a micro-computer wrapped


    inside a small chip. It performs Arithmetic Logical Unit (ALU) operations
    and communicates with the other devices connected with it. It is a single
    Integrated Circuit in which several functions are combined.
    KEY DIFFERENCES

     Microprocessor consists of only a Central Processing Unit, whereas


    Micro Controller contains a CPU, Memory, I/O all integrated into
    one chip.
     Microprocessor is used in Personal Computers whereas Micro
    Controller is used in an embedded system.
     Microprocessor uses an external bus to interface to RAM, ROM, and
    other peripherals, on the other hand, Microcontroller uses an
    internal controlling bus.
     Microprocessors are based on Von Neumann model Micro
    controllers are based on Harvard architecture
     Microprocessor is complicated and expensive, with a large number
    of instructions to process but Microcontroller is inexpensive and
    straightforward with fewer instructions to process.

    Types of Microprocessor

    Important types of Microprocessors are:

     Complex Instruction Set Microprocessors


     The Application Specific Integrated Circuit
     Reduced Instruction Set Microprocessors
     Digital Signal Multiprocessors (DSPs)

    Types of Microcontroller

    Here are important types of Microcontroller:

     8 bit Microcontroller
     16 bit Microcontroller
     32 bit Microcontroller
     Embedded Microcontroller
     External memory Microcontroller

    Features of Microcontroller
    Here are some important features of Microcontroller:
     Processor reset
     Program and Variable Memory (RAM) I/O pins
     Device clocking central processor
     Instruction cycle timers

    Features of Microprocessor

    Here are some important features of Microprocessor:

     Offers built-in monitor/debugger program with interrupt


    capability
     Large amount of instructions each carrying out a different variation
    of the same operation
     Offers Parallel I/O
     Instruction cycle timer
     External memory interface

    Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller

    Here is the difference between Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller

    Microprocessor Microcontroller

    Microprocessor is the heart of Computer system. Micro Controller is the heart of an embedded
    system.

    It is only a processor, so memory and I/O Micro Controller has a processor along with
    components need to be connected externally internal memory and I/O components.

    Memory and I/O has to be connected externally, so Memory and I/O are already present, and the
    the circuit becomes large. internal circuit is small.

    You can't use it in compact systems You can use it in compact systems.

    Cost of the entire system is high Cost of the entire system is low
    Due to external components, the total power As external components are low, total power
    consumption is high. Therefore, it is not ideal for consumption is less. So it can be used with devices

    It is mainly used in personal computers. It is used mainly in a washing machine, MP3


    players, and embedded systems.

    Microprocessor has a smaller number of registers, Microcontroller has more register. Hence the
    so more operations are memory-based. programs are easier to write.

    Microprocessors are based on Von Neumann model Micro controllers arc based on Harvard
