What is a microcontroller? Application of Microcontrollers
Internationally, microprocessors are divided into three categories based on their application areas: general-purpose
high-performance microprocessors, embedded microprocessors, and microcontrollers. General purpose microprocessors
pursue high performance and are mainly used in workstations and high-performance personal computer systems.
Embedded processors are mainly used to run specialized programs for specific fields, equipped with lightweight
operating systems. Its applications are extremely extensive, such as mobile phones VCD、 Set top boxes all use this
type of processor. A microcontroller is a single-chip microcomputer that integrates the main components of a microcomputer
onto a single chip. Microcontrollers are mainly used for self-control equipment in fields such as automotive air conditioning and automatic machinery.
Microcontrollers are widely used in various industrial and civilian embedded systems due to their small size, low power consumption, and convenient use.
