Difference between microchip and microprocessor

Answer 1

A microprocessor is a complex circuit at the heart of a computer performing all the necessary computation problems, decision making, routing tasks etc. A microchip is a term that covers all electronic circuits (like microprocessors) that are printed on chips of silicon and reduced photographically so that the circuits are microscopic. These circuits cover microprocessors, memory chips, display drivers amplifiers and so on.

Answer 2

1.Microprocessors are general purpose digital computers. Micro controllers are special purpose digital computers. 2.Microprocessors contain CPU, memory addressing circuits and interrupt handling circuits. Micro controllers contain all these features as well as timers, parallel and serial i/o, and internal RAM and ROM. 3.Microprocessors have one or two types of bit handling instructions. Micro controllers will have many. 4.Microprocessors have many opcodes for moving data from external memory to the CPU. Micro controllers may have one or two.
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
- In Microprocessor more op-codes, few bit handling instructions. But in Microcontroller: fewer op-codes, more bit handling Instructions, and also it is defined as a device that includes micro processor, memory, & input / output signal lines on a single chip.

Answer 3

pic is more pretty than atmelshe is soo nice and kind
i love pic soo much
its soo soft to work wid
enjoy :)

Answer 4

I dont think there's any diff. Both are MCUs

Answer 5

Its difference lies in its way of programming...As for PLC we use ladder logic programming and for simple microcontroller we use programming in assembler.
