Definition of Microcontrollers and EmbeddedMicroprocessors • Components • Microcontroller Market • Key Suppliers
OverviewMicrocontrollers - a key impact technology forthe 21st century • Microcontrollers.com In the aggregate, PCmicroprocessors are responsible for less than 1of all processors sold. Embedded processorsoutsell PC processors by more than 99.
Microcontrollers and Embedded ControllersControls some process or aspect of theenvironment Microcontrollers Vs. DSPs • DSPs optimized for math multiplies • Embedded controller may not be a microcontrollerper se but is used for special purpose controlapplication • Typical applications temperature control, smartinstrument, GPS, digital lock, cell phone, etc.. • Exercise write down five µController baseddevices
ExamplesPersonal information products Cell phone, pager,watch, pocket recorder, calculator • Laptop components mouse, keyboard, modem, faxcard, sound card, battery charger • Home appliances door lock, alarm clock,thermostat, air conditioner, tv remote, hairdryer, VCR, small refrigerator, exerciseequipment, washer/dryer, microwave oven • Toys video games, cars, dolls, etc.
Microcontroller FamiliesMost manufacturers offer a wide range of devicesfor low end to higher end applications • Microcontroller.com, In January 2000, Microchipshipped its one billionth 8-bit PICmicrocontroller. • Example Microcontroller Manufacturers • Embedded systems and gizmos • Characteristics of the PIC 16F87x
16F87xFamilyFeatures8Typical MicroController ElementsFrom PIC 16F87x data sheet9MicrocontrollersProcessing power 4 bit, 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit • Microcontrollers.com The highest rate of newproduct success is in the 8-bit microcontrollermarket. The lowest rate of success is in the 64-and 32-bit microcontroller markets. • Specific features communications, keyboardhandling, signal processing, video processing
