Answer: Embedded design. A microcontroller can be considered a self-contained system with a processor, memory and peripherals and can be used as an embedded system. The majority of microcontrollers in use today are embedded in other machinery, such as automobiles, telephones, appliances, and peripherals for computer systems.
Answer: Embedded processors, while in a sense "controlling" the system they are a part of, require external resources such as RAM and registers in order to do so. A processor is not a control "system." Microcontrollers, on the other hand, contain everything required to control a system in a single chip.
Answer: Embedded systems are basically electronic systems controlled by microcontrollers which can be controlled by a microprocessor that manages the whole system. A microcontroller is only designed to do a specific task while a microprocessor is general purpose.
Answer: Examples of embedded systems include various products such as washing machine, microwave ovens, cameras, printers and automobiles. They use microprocessors and microcontrollers as well as specially designed processors such as digital signal processors (DSP).
