Semester: BE Computer Sem-5
Question: microprocessor V/S microcomputer
Answer :
| MICROPROCESSOR | MICOCOMPUTER |
|---|---|
| Microprocessor is a semiconductor device consist on electric circuit based on LSI oe VLSI technic | Microcomputer is a device which consists of CPU, I/O device, and memory on single PCB(printed circuit board). |
| Memory and I/O device are connected externally | Here memory and I/O device are connected internally on single PCB |
| Microprocessor can be used for multitasking | Microcomputer can be used for general purpose |
| It is more flexible | It is less flexible |
| Per unit cost is high in the microprocessor | Per unit cost is less in microcomputer |
| In microprocessor memory connected externally so it can be used for large program | In microcomputer memory is fixed so it can be used for the small program |
