MicrocontrollersMicrocontrollers are a type of embedded integrated circuit (IC) that is used to control a specific function or device. Microcontrollers typically include a CPU, memory, and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip. They are often used in applications where a small, low-power, and low-cost control solution is required. Microcontrollers are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices, including appliances, consumer electronics, automobiles, and industrial equipment. They are often used to implement the control logic for a particular device or system, and may be programmed to perform a variety of tasks, such as reading sensors, controlling motors, or displaying information on a display. Microcontrollers are available in a wide range of sizes, performance levels, and architectures, depending on the specific application and requirements.
