To catch up with students of Tier 1 institutes
Microcontrollers
A microcontroller (sometimes
abbreviated µC, uC or MCU) is a small computer on a
singleintegrated circuit containing a processor core,
memory, and programmable input/outputperipherals.
A key impact Technology for 21st century
Used for special purpose control applications
uP and uC..
One of the main differences is that microcontrollers are usually designed to
perform a small set of specific functions, for example as in the case of a Digital
Signal Processor which performs a small set of signal processing functions,
whereas microprocessors tend to be designed to perform a wider set of
general purpose functions.

For example, microcontrollers are widely used in modern cars where they will
each perform a dedicated task, i.e. a microcontroller to regulate the brakes on
all four wheels, or a microcontroller to regulate the car air conditioning, or a
microcontroller responsible for the cruise control. These microcontrollers will
perform few other tasks (if any) other than those specified. Compare this on
the other hand to a microprocessor in a PC which performs a wide range of
tasks related to the general requirements of a PC, i.e. performing the
necessary calculations for a very wide set of software applications, peforming
I/O for the main sub-systems, peripheral control etc.

Microprocessor = cpu
Microcontroller = cpu + peripherals + memory
Peripherals = ports + clock + timers + uarts + adc
converters +lcd drivers + dac + other stuff
Memory = eeprom + sram + eprom + flash

A microcontroller has a combination of all this stuff.


A microprocessor is just a CPU .
Embedded Systems
An embedded system is a computer system designed
to perform one or a few dedicated functions[1][2] often
with real-time computing constraints.
Dedicated Computers for Smart Applications
Embedded systems are controlled by one or more main
processing cores that are typically either microcontrollers
 or digital signal processors (DSP).
Respond ,monitor ,control external environments using
actuators and sensors.
Characteristics of Embedded Systems
