What is microcontroller ?
A small, low-power computer on a single integrated circuit, designed to control specific tasks within electronic devices.
What is microprocessor ?
A digital integrated circuit that acts as the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer, executing instructions and performing calculations.
What is IoT ?
The network of physical objects – “things” – that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet.
What is Embedded Processor ?
A specialized type of processor designed for use within embedded systems, which are computer systems designed to perform specific tasks within larger devices or systems
