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

Microprocessors and microcontrollers are integral to computing and electronic devices, with minimal to no degree of control in the operational process. These electrical components oversee and ...

Maturing architectures and the adoption of new technologies will mark the year for microprocessors (MPUs) and microcontrollers (MCUs). The 64-bit microprocessor market for servers is consolidating ...

In 2013 alone, over 10 billion ARM microprocessors and microcontrollers were shipped across a range of industries, many of which are already connected to the Internet.

1. D68HC11 microcontroller implementation. In addition to easily fitting onto today's FPGAs, this implementation can run, if desired, up to 5 times faster than the original 8-12 MHz component. The ...

Microcontrollers rock. The 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers will continue to make up a major percentage of processor shipments.
