An embedded system has historically been defined as a single function product where the intelligence is embedded in the system. It could be anything from a dishwasher to a hearing aid, if that product includes a microprocessor and software. Many of today's embedded systems are looking more like PCs with user interfaces, touchscreens, displays, keypads and more. Still, these are not general function systems but are designed to perform very specific functions. An embedded system makes use of embedded hardware (microprocessor) and embedded software to accomplish its purpose. Embedded software is generally comprised of: * Real-time operating system (RTOS) * Drivers (HW peripheral interface) * Application software

∙ 13y agoThe differences between microcomputer (mc) and microcontroller (MC) are
MC having timers and counters inbuilt but mc dont have inbuilt timers and counters.
MC is used for specific task purpose . mc is used for general purpose.
MC is having less flexibility in design. mc is having flexibility in design.

∙ 14y agoA microcontroller is a computer with lots of control over input and output, which can do computations, loops, timing, conditional branching, and all the other things a computer can do, UNDER PROGRAM CONTROL.
FPGA, Field Programmable Gate Array, is just that , an array of gates that you can configure any way you want. But it is not a computer, just a bunch of gates.

∙ 14y agoA microcontroller includes a microprocessor, memory, and usually some I/O driver stages on certain outputs. To use a microprocessor, you must include external memory, and usually need some sort of driver IC's (such as to a blinking LED or some such indication, speakers, etc.).
Basically, a microcontroller is everything needed with a microprocessor rolled into one chip. Some even have tuning circuitry for RF communication built in.

What is the Different Between Microprocessor and Microcontroller?
The basic difference between the microprocessor and microcontroller is that we can interface a microcontroller directly means "for example we can directly connect a keyboard to microcontroller to any of its ports"....where as for microprocessor we can't interface directly...we require a circuit board since it requires ram,ic's.....etc.,! beyrojac mahinay
