The differences between the Von Neumann and Harvard architectures are explained. Additionally, the chapter describes briefly the various components of a microcontroller, such as the types of memories used, input-output, timers, interrupts, ADC and DAC, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and so on. This chapter is an introduction to microcontrollers and it describes the basic differences between the microprocessors and microcontrollers. Thus, a microcomputer system can be anything from a large computer having hard disks, floppy disks, and printers, to a single chip embedded controller. Some microcomputer systems include additional components such as timers, counters, analog-to-digital converters, and so on. The term microcomputer is used to describe a system that includes a minimum of a microprocessor, program memory, data memory, and input-output (I/O).

In this book, we shall be looking at the programming and system design using the 32-bit programmable interface controller (PIC) series of microcontrollers manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc.ĭogan Ibrahim, in Arm-Based Microcontroller Multitasking Projects, 2021 Abstract There are a large number of microcontrollers available in the market.
Such microcomputer systems are also called microcontrollers, and they are used in many household goods such as microwave ovens, TV remote control units, cookers, hi-fi equipment, CD players, personal computers, fridges, etc. In this book, we are going to consider only the type of microcomputers that consists of a single silicon chip. Thus, a microcomputer system can be anything from a large computer having hard disks, floppy disks, and printers to a single-chip embedded controller. Some microcomputer systems include additional components such as timers, counters, analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs), and so on. The term microcomputer is used to describe a system that includes a minimum of a microprocessor, program memory, data memory, and input–output (I/O).
