Single-chip means that the entire computer system lies within the confines of the integrated circuit. The microcontroller existing on the encapsulated sliver of silicon has features and similarities our standard personal computers. Primarily the microcontroller is capable of storing and running a program its most important feature.The microcontroller contains a central processing unit (CPU) random access memory (RAM) read-only memory (ROM) electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) input output (I O) lines serial and parallel ports timers and other built-in peripherals such as analog-to-digital (A D) and digital-to-analog (D A) converters.Why Use a Microcontroller The microcontroller s ability to store and run unique programs makes it extremely versatile. For instance a microcontroller can be programmed to make decisions and perform functions based on predetermined situations (I O line logic) and selections. Its ability to perform math and logic functions allows it to mimic sophisticated logic and electronic circuits.Other programs can make the microcontroller behave like a neural circuit or a fuzzy logic controller. s en.wikipedia.org wiki Fuzzy_logic Microcontrollers are responsible for the intelligence in most smart devices on the consumer marketPaperback 292 pages ISBN 0-07-143704-5
