Microcontroller



microcontroller is a small and low-cost computer built for the purpose of dealing with specific tasks, such as displaying information in a microwave LED or 126receiving information from a television’s remote control. Microcontrollers are mainly used in products that require a degree of control to be exerted by the user.
Microcontroller has an input device in order to get the input and an output device (such as LED or LCD Display) to exhibit the final process.  The architecture of a microcontroller depends on the application it is built for. For example, some designs include usage of more than one RAM, ROM and I/O functionality integrated into the package.
