HISTORY
Gary Boone and Michael Cochran
with the successful creation of the
first microcontroller in 1971. The
result of their work was the TMS
1000, which became commercially
available in 1974. It combined read-
only memory, read/write memory,
processor and clock on one chip and
was targeted at embedded systems.
WHAT IS A MICROCONTROLLER
A microcontroller is a
small, low-cost and self
contained computer-on-
a-chip that can be used
as an embedded system.
ARCHITECTURE
CLASSIFICATION

ADVANTAGES
Themain advantage of a
microcontroller is that the low cost
with all the integral parts mounted
together on a single chip. The
design makes it more compact and
easy to use. The easiness of using a
microcontroller and the relatively
easy maintenance process also
make it more reliable.
DISADVANTAGES
Since it contains all the
components on a single chip,
microcontrollers are having
relatively complex architecture.
Microcontrollers are not suitable
to interface high power devices
directly and they can only perform
the limited number of operations
simultaneously.
APPLICATION
Application of Microcontroller in Day to
Day Life Devices:
Mobile Phones
Auto Mobiles
Washing Machines
Cameras
Security Alarms
CONCLUSION
Microcontrollers are of prime
importance for electronics control
and communication of any
modern appliance. Any household
appliances e.g. electronic printer,
photostart copier, fax machine
contains one or more
microcontroller.
