Why the cost of microprocessor is greater than that of a micro controller?

Microprocessors tend to be much faster than microcontrollers. As real time systems usually don't require fast processors the additional power used for the extra speed is seen as wasted. Older boards are also preferred as it is less likely to contain bugs.


How we measures strain using microcontroller?

Measuring strain using micro-controller is simple and easy. When measuring using micro-controller you use points and condensers.


What is difference between micro controller and micro processor?

* Microcontrollers are sub class of Microprocessor. * Microcontrollers are generally target specific. * For example when the application requirement is to capture 2 analog signals, 5 digital signals, store 512 bytes of data, and to place a time stamp (date & time). Ø Here in the case of processor we need a ADC to process the analog signal, ROM (512 bytes or greater memory size) to store 512 bytes of data, RTC (Real time clock) to get present date and time, of course digital signals can be captured using the I/O port pins, and a RAM also has to be added. This makes the size of the PCB pretty big. Ø In the case of controller all these are found inside it, our task is to select the controller based on the requirement. The microcontroller is basically a processor with some special features like ADC, DAC, RAM, ROM, etc., in it.microprocessor is able to perform all the task done by micro controller but the microprocessor does not have any timers and counters internally for that operations it need the timers and counters from external. but micro controller can perform all the operations....

yes


How do you dump any program code on micro controller 89c51?

In order to dump any program code onto a micro controller for a 89c51, you would first have to find access to the main controller board of the item, and plug the program code directly into that.

What are logical steps in designing a micro-controller based product?

1) Define the functions the product will perform. 2) Design the hardware that will allow the functions to be implemented. 3) Design the logic that will allow the functions to be controlled (controller). 4) Design the interface between the micro-processor and the controller. 5) Code the function performance into the micro-processor. 6) Market it.
