the microcontroller

 

?What is a microcontroller

 

A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit, essentially a miniature personal computer on a single chip. It consists of a processor, small memory, and programmable I / o peripherals. Designed for use in automatically managed products and devices to perform the programmed functions of a larger component, without a complex front-end operating system (OS). A microcontroller is also called an embedded controller or Multicontroller unit (MCU). It is an integral part of embedded systems.

 

?Where are they used

Microcontrollers are mainly used in various products and devices that are a combination of hardware and software and are designed to perform certain functions. A few examples of embedded systems that use microcontrollers: these can be washing machines, microwave ovens, digital cameras, vehicles, mobile radio transmitters, medical equipment, smartphones, robots, and various household appliances.

 

Microcontrollers are very popular because they include both a microprocessor, memory, and I / o devices at the same time; due to this, the products they are embedded in are more compact and cheaper than those devices where all the above elements are installed 

separately.
