A microcontroller might contain an embedded processor as part of its makeup, but also combines other computer parts, such as memory and signal registers, in a single chip.

The three key areas of difference between microprocessors and microcontrollers are hardware structure, application area, and instruction set characteristics.

It comes as no surprise that differences exist among these layered PCB types. This article is devoted specifically to understanding the differences between 2- and 4-layer PCBs.

Differences between USART and UART 1. Data clocking Well, there are differences – important ones. The first difference between a USART and a UART is the way in which the serial data may be clocked. A ...
