Principles and Applications of Microcontrollers

microcontroller
A microcontroller is a single-chip microcomputer that integrates the main components of a microcomputer onto a single chip. Microcontrollers were born in the
mid-1970s, and after more than 20 years of development, their cost has become increasingly low while their performance has become more powerful,

making their applications ubiquitous and widespread in various fields. For example, motor control, barcode readers/scanners, consumer electronics, gaming devices,

telephones HVAC、 Building safety and access control, industrial control and automation, and white goods (washing machines, microwave ovens), etc.

Microcontrollers (MCUs) can be classified from different aspects: according to the width of the data bus, they can be divided into 8-bit, 16 bit, and 32-bit machines;
According to the memory structure, it can be divided into Harvard structure and Von Neumann structure; According to the categories of embedded program memory,

it can be divided into OTP, mask, EPROM/EEPROM, and flash memory; According to the instruction structure, it can be divided into CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) microcontrollers.
