The difference between MCU and MPU

1. Concept

MCU Micro Controller

MPU microprocessor

2. Differences

1) Mpu typically represents a CPU, while the MCU emphasizes the integration of CPU, memory and peripheral circuitry into a single chip

2) in the early days, the MCU is called a microcontroller, which refers to the integration of the computer into a chip

3) MCUs are also often referred to as on-chip systems (SoC), meaning that the entire system is designed on a single chip

3. The current mainstream embedded CPU

1) ARM, low power consumption

2) Mips,cisco companies are mostly used to do high-end routers

3) PowerPC, mainly used in the field of industrial control
