    Microcontroller

    A  microcontroller  (μC  or  uC)  is  a  solitary  chip  microcomputer 


    fabricated  from  VLSI  fabrication.  A micro controller is also known
    as embedded controller. Today  various types of microcontrollers are
    available  in  market  with  different  word  lengths  such  as  4bit, 
    8bit,  64bit  and  128bit  microcontrollers. Microcontroller is a
    compressed micro computer manufactured to control the functions of
    embedded systems  in  office machines,  robots, home  appliances, 
    motor  vehicles,  and  a  number  of  other gadgets. A microcontroller
    is comprises components like - memory, peripherals and most
    importantly a processor. Microcontrollers are basically employed in
    devices that need a degree of control to be ap plied by the user of the
    device.

    Microcontroller Basics:
    Any  electric  appliance  that  stores,  measures,  displays 
    information  or  calculates  comprise  of  a
    microcontroller chip inside it. The basic structure of a microcontroller
    comprise of: -
    1. CPU- Microcontrol lers brain is named as CPU. CPU is the device
    which is employed to fetch data, decode it and at the end complete the
    assigned task successfully. With the help of CPU all the components
    of microcontroller is connected into a single system. Instruction fetch
    ed by the programmable memory is decoded by the CPU.
    2. Memory– In  a  microcontroller  memory  chip  works  same  as
    microprocessor. Memory  chip stores all programs  &  data.
    Microcontrollers  are built with certain amount of ROM or RAM
    (EPROM, EEPROM, etc) or flash memory for the storage of program
    source codes.
    3. Input/output  ports– I/O  ports are basically employed to interface
    or  drive different appliances such as - printers, LCD’s, LED’s, etc.

    4.Serial  Ports– These  ports  give  serial  interfaces  amid 


    microcontroller  &  various  other peripherals such as parallel port.
    5.Timers– A  microcontroller  may  be  in-built  with  one  or  more 
    timer  or  counters.  The  timers  & counters control all counting &
    timing operations within a microcontroller. Timers are employed to 
    count  external  pulses.  The  main  operations  performed  by  timers’ 
    are-pulse  generations, clock functions, frequency measuring,
    modulations, making oscillations, etc.
    6.ADC (Analog to digital converter)–ADC is employed to convert
    analog signals to digital ones. The input signals need to be analog for
    ADC. The digital signal production can be employed for different
    digital applications (such as measurement gadgets).

    7.DAC  (digital  to analog  converter)–this  converter  executes 


    opposite  functions  that  ADC perform.  This  device  is  generally 
    employed  to  supervise  analog  appliances  like-DC  motors, etc.
    8.Interpret Control- This controller is employed for giving delayed
    control for a working program. The interpret can be internal or
    external.
    9. Special   Functioning   Block– Some   special   microcontrollers  
    manufactured   for   special appliances  like - space  systems,  robots, 
    etc,  comprise  of  this  special  function  block.  This special block
    has additional ports so as to carry out some special operations.
