 MC is an .

 It is small computer on a single Integrated Circuit ( ).

 µc is a special-purpose single-chip computer
 Microcontroller is designed and built to handle a
particular task.
 MC is a compact IC designed to govern a specific operation
in an embedded system.
 A typical microcontroller includes followings on a single
chip:

1.
 is the logic circuitry that responds to &
the basic instructions that drive a computer.
 The four primary functions of a processor are
i. iii. Execute
ii. Decode iv. .
2.
 It is also known as memory / Flash storage
 It is ( ).
 It is an electronic ( ) type of memory.
 It electrically erased and reprogrammed data in units (called blocks).
 It was developed by Toshiba in the early 1980s but introduced it in 1984.
Types of flash memory:
 flash memory may be written and read in blocks (or pages) which
are generally much smaller than the entire device.
 flash memory allows a single machine word (byte) to be written– to
an erased location– or read independently.

3.
A is any computer device that is not part of the essential computer
(the processor, memory, and data paths) but is situated relatively close by.

Microcontrollers (µc) are classified as:

According to number of bits
 04 bits,
 08 bits,
 16 bits,
 32 bits,
 64 bits
