Hi Aimo
It is easy to confuse such similar and cross meaning terms., especialy
when a microprocessor is still a ¡§chip¡§ and an¡§IC¡§.
In the simplest explanation a microprocessor is an IC running software
, , which is hard to see from the outside. :-)
I am working on a piece of test equipment now that has a
microprocessor in it and on the outside it looks just a normal IC ,
again a bit confusing and misleading if you didn't look at the part
number first.

SORRY, folks, for raising a debate on "MICROPROCESSOR".
My meaning was to write: "IC" ( Integrated Circuit ), but as it
often happens...
Anyway, it's interesting, that one (false) word can raise so much
interest among people.
