Microcontrollers

Microcontrollers (MCU), also known as single chip microcomputers, are chips that appropriately reduce the frequency and specifications of the central processing unit (CPU), and integrate memory, timer, USB, A/D conversion, UART, PLC, DMA and other peripheral interfaces, and even LCD driver circuits on a single chip to form a chip-level computer, which can be used for different combination controls for different applications. MCUs can be found in mobile phones, PC peripherals, remote controls, automotive electronics, industrial stepper motors, and robot arm control. Microcontrollers are the core components of modern electronic devices, with the characteristics of high integration, low power consumption and low cost. They play an important role in embedded systems and are widely used in industries, consumer electronics, automobiles, and the Internet of Things. Choosing the right microcontroller and mastering its development technology are the key to embedded system design.
