This document is an introduction to microcontrollers that discusses what microcontrollers are and their typical applications. It covers the differences between microcontrollers and microprocessors, the components of each, and different architectures like RISC and CISC. It also examines commonly used microcontrollers like the 8051, PIC, AVR, and ARM and provides a comparison of these microcontroller types.
