The microcontroller is a type of single-chip system containing a microprocessor, clock generators and memory. Unlike microprocessors used in computers, which only handle a large set of complex functions and calculations, microcontrollers have built-in memory systems and can return the result of actions and calculations in real time.
Microcontrollers are an indispensable part in any electronic device process and perform a variety of applications, both in simple and complex technological functions, communication with other devices, control of alphanumeric or graphic displays, measurement of various quantities, gauges, sensors and automatic processes.
