In Microprocessor we have to connect external RAM, ROM,
I/o, Timers and interrupts by externally, where as in
Microcontroller RAM, ROM,I/O, Timers serial communication
all are in built in microcontroller,
Microprocessor is used in Higher end Industrial projects
where as Microcontroller can be used for lower end projects
because processor can beconnected by
external memory where as in controller it is fixed memory in
some case we can add external memory also
