Question

State any two of Micro-controller advantages over Micro-processor.

State any four advantages of Micro-controller over Microprocessor based system.

Explain any four advantages of Microcontroller.

Answer 1

Advantages of microcontroller over microprocessor-based system:

1. The cost of a microcontroller-based system is lower compared to a microprocessor-based system.
2. A microcontroller includes a greater number of I/O components than a microprocessor-based system.
3. Microcontrollers are used in a wide range of intelligent products, such as computer keyboards, whereas microprocessor-based systems are generally not suitable for such intelligent applications.
4. Many low-cost devices like electronic toys, electric drills, microwave ovens, and VCRs are designed using microcontrollers, which is not commonly the case with microprocessor-based systems.
