A glimpe of a microprocessor vs microcontroller

Which of the statement best describe Microprocessor?

• It is a controlling unit of a micro-computer, fabricated on a small chip capable of performing ALU (Arithmetic Logical Unit) operations and communicating with the other devices connected to it

• It is a small and low-cost microcomputer, which is designed to perform the specific tasks of embedded systems like displaying microwave’s information, receiving remote signals, etc

• It is the electronic circuitry that executes instructions comprising a computer program

• It leverages computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind.

A single IC which consists of ALU, control section and Register section is called ___.

• Microcontroller

• Microprocessor

• Register

• Multipurpose IC

True or False? A microcontroller is capable of handling Boolean functions.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Which of the following statement is false?

• The microcontroller has more registers.

• Microcontroller is a processor in which memory and I/O output component is connected externally.

• The microprocessor is basically used in an application where the task in not predefined

• The microcontroller acts as the heart of the embedded system.

The given internal structure represents what?

• Microprocessor

• Microcontroller

True or False? A microprocessor having a zero status flag

• TRUE

• FALSE

Which of the following statement is true about microcontroller?

• The overall cost of a system built using a microcontroller is high

• Power consumption is less.

• Microcontroller are basic components of personal computers.

• Microcontrollers are mainly used in designing general-purpose systems from small to large and complex systems like supercomputers.

True or False? In the case of the microprocessor all the memory elements and I/O ports are connected externally, the overall cost of the system, as well as power consumption, is higher compared to the microcontrollers.

• TRUE

• FALSE

True or False? The IC of a microcontroller has memory (both RAM and ROM) integrated into it along with some other components like I / O devices and timers.

• TRUE

• FALSE

True or False? The computational capacity of the microcontroller is very high. Hence can perform complex tasks.

• True

• False
