Microprocessor vs. CPU – What is the Difference?
Summary
Commonly at the center of computer development and innovation are two types of processors; Central Processing Units, known as a CPUs, and microprocessors. To fully appreciate the technology embedded in the devices we know and love, we must understand what these two types of processors are and how they are different. Put more simply, the CPU is where all the central processing is done and where all communication between different components happens. From the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter, Cheetah SPI Host Adapter, Promira Serial Platform, to the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer, Total Phase offers a range of tools and solutions to fit almost any SPI and I2C development applications. These tools allow engineers to create and debug their solutions so that their products work seamlessly in their intended applications.
