MICROCONTROLLERS
MICROCONTROLLER
:-The microcontroller is a small computing device which has a CPU, a fixed amount of RAM, ROM and other peripherals all embeded on a single chip as compared to microprocessor that has only a CPU on the chip.
Examples of microcontrollers are :-
KEYBOARD, MOUSE, WASHING MACHINE, DIGITAL CAMERA, PENDRIVE, REMOTE CONTROLLER, MICROWAVE etc.
- Because of very small size of the microcontroller, it is embeded in another device or system to perform a specifc functionality.
- The simple use of microcontroller has permitted repetitive execution of tedious tasks automatically without any human intervention, therby saving precious time.
