RE: Microprocessor Vs. Microcontroller
Thank you for anwser.
For me this comparison is non-sense, for example MPU is an memory protection unit which guards data RAM, preventing any incorrect access to it. I think that this is a typo as he is describing CPU not just an MPU.
Hi @jarric. Good day sir! The blog just refer to the comparison between microprocessor and a microcontroller. I am discussing MPU AND MCU not MCU and CPU. The spelling though is not the same. Well thanks for noticing this blog. :) Have a good day!
I am trying to point out that you do not abbreviate a microprocessor as MPU but as CPU. MPU is solely reserved for Memory Protection Unit and it might confuse some people.
