TL;DR: The difference between microcontrollers and microprocessors are myriad. However, what you need to remember is that microprocessors are more versatile but need sophisticated circuitry. In contrast, microcontrollers are application-specific but are very simple to use. For instance, ARM is famous for microcontrollers. Whereas Intel is famous for microprocessors. Which is better: Microcontroller or microprocessor? […]

The 8085 has 40 pins. Understanding the function of each pin will give you a brief idea about the capabilities of the microprocessor.

The stack is a reserved area of the memory in RAM where we can store temporary information. Interestingly, the stack is a shared resource. As it can be shared by the microprocessor and the programmer. The programmer can use the stack to store data. And the microprocessor uses the stack to execute subroutines. The 8085 […]
