#174133 - What did he actually mean by that? Responding to: Jason Khoo's previous message |
Jason Khoo said:
is 89s52 a microcontroller? my lecturer say it is microprocessor. Was he actually making a specific distinction between "microcontrollers" and "microprocessors", or was he just using the term generically? There isn't a hard-and-fast distinction; eg, some see it as just a matter of application. But, generally, a "microprocessor" is taken to mean just a processor, whereas a "microcontroller" also integrates memory and other peripherals such as UARTs, timers, etc Update - references: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/17435 http://www.8052.com/faqs/119939 |
