Application areas of microcontroller

The use of microcontroller has been very wide range of fields, such as instrumentation, household appliances, medical equipment, aerospace, special equipment, intelligent management and process control and other fields. A variety of products once used on the microcontroller, can play a role in upgrading the effectiveness of the product, often in the product name before the adjective - "intelligent", such as intelligent washing machines.

1, microcontroller can be used from the calculator to high-end complex (such as heart monitors) of the basic instruments. Almost all electronic medical devices such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meters and oximeters have advanced microcontrollers.

2. Complex electronic weapons used in the defense sector also contain microcontrollers. Anti-tank missiles, surface-to-air missiles and some of the guns now used by the military will have microcontrollers in their electronic circuits.

3, electronic toys in daily life also contain microcontroller. Due to the integration of microcontrollers, toys have become more interesting and have provided a great educational platform for children. Mini robot toys, remote control cars, helicopters and airplanes are products that use microcontrollers.

4. Microcontrollers are found in kitchen and home devices such as refrigerators, TVs, radios, washing machines, dishwashers and even humidifiers. Microcontrollers have a huge impact in improving the quality of our daily lives.

Microcontrollers, also known as monolithic microcontrollers, are integrated circuit chips. It integrates a computer system onto a single chip, which is equivalent to a miniature computer. Compared with a computer, a microcontroller is only missing I/O devices.

In a nutshell: a chip becomes a computer. Its small size, light weight, inexpensive, for learning, application and development to provide a convenient condition. At the same time, learning to use a microcontroller is the best choice to understand the principles and structure of the computer.
