▪ Need something special!


MICROCONTROLLER
▪ Small computer in a single chip!
MICROCONTROLLER IS SELF-
SUFFICIENT
▪Enough on-chip resources
▪ CPU
▪ Memory
▪ RAM
▪ ROM
▪ I/O interface
▪ Peripherals

▪ This is what makes them different from the microprocessors


▪ Many of the simpler features built into a motherboard are located in
the microcontroller itself
