What is the difference between microprocessor and microcontroller?..

Answer / gauri kulkarni

microcontroller : Harvard architecture. dedicated processors.inbuilt embedding of memory and io devices.
works very fast as it is dedicated one. requires 12 mhz of clock frequency,each clock pulse intern divided by 12,s0 works on 1 mhz per clock pulse.used in dedicated applications such as washing machine.
microprocessor: Newman architecture. general purpose processors.memory & io devices externally interfaced.clock frequency 12 to 200 MHZ.useful for large applications,PC etc.
