Microcontrollers
A microcontroller is a small computer
that is fitted in a single integrated
circuit (IC) chip. It is made up of
memory, a processor, as well as input-
output interfaces or ports.
Activity: MATCH
ME
Direction: Match column A to
column B.
B
a. PIC microcontroller
b. 8051 microcontroller
c. ARM microcontroller
d. AVR microcontroller
e. MSP microcontroller
Activity: TRUE or
FALSE
Direction: Identify whether the
following statements is true or false.
1. A microcontroller is
programmed to perform a
specific task.
TRUE
2. Microcontroller are
reprogrammable.
FALSE
3. It consumes less power
because all physical
characteristics are smaller
and demands less energy.
TRUE
4. Can handle a single
operation and task at a single
time.
TRUE
5. Microcontroller can multitask.
FALSE
Advantages of using
Microcontrollers:
A microcontroller is programmed to perform a
specific task.
It consumes less power because all physical
characteristics are smaller and demands less
energy.
It is placed on a single chip on a smaller and
more compact scale.
This also means that the battery can supply
power longer.
Advantages of using
Microcontrollers:
They also have single-purpose input and output
peripherals or ports:
universal input bus (USB)
controller area network (CAN)
universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter
(UART).
Gives the ability to be connected to other
microcontrollers, computers, mobile gadgets, and
even within the same microcontroller.
