Question

Unlike microprocessors, microcontrollers make use of batteries because they have:

(a) high power dissipation

(b) low power consumption

(c) low voltage consumption

(d) low current consumption

The question was asked in my homework.

Asked question is from Introduction to Microcontroller topic in chapter Microcontroller Basics of Microcontroller

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) low power consumption

The explanation: Micro Controllers are made by using the concept of VLSI technology. So here, CMOS based logic gates are coupled together by this technique that consumes low power.
