IoT Boards (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ...) for prototyping with price tags, technical information and comparison between MCU, MPU and SoC (System on a Chip)
18. 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

19. 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
ultra low power applications
none or little UI interaction
MPUs do not have memory constraints
processing performance, for:
• Operating System
• UI
• high speed communication peripherals
functionally rich and high performance
applications
