The third and fourth of the five elements are input and output (I/O), respectively. I/O is a channel for exchanging data and signals
between external devices and microcontrollers. In microcontroller design, dedicated peripheral circuits for external devices are
required to perform data input, output, and communication. The basic operations corresponding to input and output include CPU read and write.
Input/output is called a port, and its address is called a port address. According to the different data and signal exchange functions with external devices, it needs to be divided into input ports and output ports.
5. Bus
CPU、 The memory and I/O functions constitute the basic internal functional units of a microcontroller, but only by connecting the CPU, memory,
and I/O through wiring so that signals can flow through each unit, can the control of the microcontroller be achieved. Therefore, the fifth element of the microcontroller is the bus. The following figure is an example of a microcontroller signal flow. The various functions of the microcontroller are connected by multiple signal lines, which are called buses.
