Microcontrollers are mainly used in embedded applications and are heavily used in automatically controlled electronic devices such as cell phones, cameras, microwave ovens, and washing machines.
Microcontrollers can also be used in any application that requires decision making or system monitoring. There are many microcontrollers available for integration into products. Microcontrollers usually have analog and digital input/output capabilities.
Users can program microcontrollers using a variety of programming languages. These software programs can be developed to monitor and acquire certain inputs, perform high-speed calculations and analysis and generate outputs to control various devices such as LCD screens, motor drives, etc.
Hardware features:
(1) The size of the microcontroller is relatively small, and the internal chip acts as a computer system, which has a simple but functional structure and is very easy to use, allowing for modular applications.
(2) microcontroller has a high degree of integration, reliability is strong, even if the microcontroller is in a long period of time there will be no failure problems.
(3) Microcontroller in the application of low voltage, low energy consumption, is the first choice of people in their daily lives, for production and research and development to provide convenience.
(4) Microcontrollers have strong data processing and arithmetic capabilities, can be used in a variety of environments, and have a strong control capability.
