Microcontrollers

Microcontroller is a computer on a chip that is programmed to perform almost any control, sequencing, monitoring and display function. Because of its relatively low cost, it is a natural choice for design. It performs many of the functions traditionally done by simple logic circuitry, requential control circuits, timers or a small microcomputer.
