Overview of Microcontrollers

Abstract

A microcontroller is a little laptop on one microcircuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory within the kind of Ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROMis additionally usually enclosed on chip, similarly as a generally touch of RAM. Microcontrollers square measure designed for embedded applications, in distinction to the microprocessors employed in personal computers or alternative general purpose applications.
