14. Microcontroller (MCU) vs Microprocessor (MPU)
Microprocessor (MPU) or Microcontroller (MCU)?
What factors should you consider when selecting the
right processing device for your next design

15. Microcontroller (MCU) vs Microprocessor (MPU)
MCU uses on-chip embedded Flash
memory
MPUs do not have memory constraints
16. Microcontroller (MCU) vs Microprocessor (MPU)
MCU uses on-chip embedded Flash
memory
MCU has a very short start-up period and
can be executing code very quickly.
address perfectly the most time critical
and deterministic applications
MPUs do not have memory constraints
