How does microprocessor differentiate between I O and memory?
I/O is any general-purpose port used by processor/controller to handle peripherals connected to it. I/O mapped I/Os have a separate address space from the memory. A separate signal is used for addressing an I/O device. Memory-mapped I/Os share the memory space with external memory.
What is the difference between I O mapped and memory mapped I O?
Memory mapped I/O is mapped into the same address space as program memory and/or user memory, and is accessed in the same way. I/O mapped I/O uses a separate, dedicated address space and is accessed via a dedicated set of microprocessor instructions.
What is memory mapped IO in microprocessor?
Such I/O ports that are addressed by the processor as if they were memory locations are called memory-mapped I/O ports. In the memory location we address an Input Output port. An example to be cited as when address = FFF0H, IO/M* = 0, and RD* = 0.
What do you understand by I O & memory interfacing?
Memory Interfacing When we are executing any instruction, the address of memory location or an I/O device is sent out by the microprocessor. The corresponding memory chip or I/O device is selected by a decoding circuit. The interfacing process includes matching the memory requirements with the microprocessor signals.

Differences between I/O mapped I/O and Memory-mapped I/O
Memory-Mapped I/O Interfacing | I/O Mapped I/O Interfacing |
---|---|
Separate control signals are not required since we have a unified memory space. | Special control signals are used here since we have separate memory spaces. |
How memory interfacing is differentiated from I O interfacing?
The corresponding memory chip or I/O device is selected by a decoding circuit. Memory requires some signals to read from and write to registers and microprocessor transmits some signals for reading or writing data. The interfacing process includes matching the memory requirements with the microprocessor signals.
