Microcontroller Definition/Meaning:
1. An LSI microprocessor designed specifically for use in device
control, communication control, or process-control applications. A typical
microcontroller chip might have a relatively short word length, a rich set of
bit-manipulation instructions, and lack certain arithmetic and string operations
found on general-purpose microprocessors.
2. A microprocessor-based device or
system designed for control applications.
