The Brains Behind Innovation: Microcontrollers

A microcontroller is a single chip often referred to as MCUs, and denoted with μC or uC. The fabrication technology used for its controller is VLSI. An alternate name of the microcontroller is the embedded controller. At present, there are different microcontrollers types that are existing in the market like 4-bit, 8-bit, 64-bit & 128-bit. It is a compressed microcomputer used to control the embedded system functions in robots, office machines, motor vehicles, home appliances & other electronic gadgets. The different components used in a microcontroller are a processor, peripherals, & memory. These are basically used in different electronic devices that require an amount of control to be given by the operator of the device. 

Microcontrollers, often referred to as MCUs, are the unsung heroes of modern electronics and automation. These compact, self-contained computing devices are the computational powerhouses behind countless innovations, from smart appliances and IoT devices to robotics and embedded systems. In this category, we delve into the world of microcontrollers, exploring their various types, applications, and the pivotal role they play in shaping the future of technology.
