May 1, 2015 · A microcontroller that uses equivalent microprocessor would not be cheaper. However normally microcontrollers are several generations behind. A 8051 microcontroller is similar to a 8085 microprocessor (which is less than a 8086).

Oct 17, 2018 · I am a beginner with respect to microcontrollers, so I just want to ask is there two option for choosing the frequency of the microcontroller: to be internal or external? If there is internal freq...

Oct 16, 2014 · Pretty much all modern microcontrollers have native support for it. If you need a simple program using a lot of memory, it will be both cheaper and smaller to use a small microcontroller and external RAM, rather than a high-level microcontroller.

Dec 8, 2014 · Smartphones have multiple microprocessors and microcontrollers in them. The main processor is a microprocessor with a bus to communicate with memory on separate chips (though often contained in the same IC package), and busses to communicate with the rest of …

Jan 21, 2013 · As a general engineering hobbyist, I am learning more about the world of microcontrollers each and every day. Once thing I don't quite understand though is the significance of the bit version of a microcontroller. I have been using the ATmega8 for several months, and it seems to work great for my purposes.

Jun 18, 2012 · Technically, ARM is a microprocessor, or, more specifically, a microprocessor architecture. The thing to understand, though, is that it doesn't represent a physical microprocessor, but the design that allows to build one.

Apr 17, 2014 · 16-bit microcontroller are generally restricted to 64K of memory, but may also use paging techniques to get around this. 32-bit microcontrollers of course have no such restrictions and can address up to 4GB of memory.

Mar 24, 2016 · In what basis a micro controller or a microprocessor is classified as 8bit and 16bit?

A microcontroller is a single integrated circuit, a motherboard typically refers to the "host" board for other components including processing chips, expansion boards, etc.

When drawing a circuit a resistor looks like this. How would a Microprocessor look? Microphone? Webcam?
