How do microcontrollers work?Ī microcontroller is embedded inside of a system to control a singular function in a device. They are essentially simple miniature personal computers (PCs) designed to control small features of a larger component, without a complex front-end operating system (OS). Sometimes referred to as an embedded controller or microcontroller unit (MCU), microcontrollers are found in vehicles, robots, office machines, medical devices, mobile radio transceivers, vending machines and home appliances, among other devices. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip. A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system.
