Basically, a microcontroller is a device

which integrates a number of the

components of a microprocessor system
onto a single microchip and optimized to
interact with the outside world through onboard interfaces; i.e. it is a little gadget that
houses a microprocessor, ROM (Read Only
Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory),
I/O (Input Output functions), and various
other specialized circuits all in one package.
