The three key areas of difference between microprocessors and microcontrollers are hardware structure, application area, and instruction set characteristics. First, the hardware structure.

These microcontrollers are not the same as ... alongside memory and I/O devices. The primary difference between microntrollers and embedded processors is makeup and integration.

These capacitors are prepared by depositing oxide layers in sandwich patterns between semiconductor wafers. Capacitors in ICs of microprocessors and microcontrollers help store electrical current.
