Solving Design Challenges with Cortex-M0+ MCUs (Download)
Microcontrollers (MCUs) surround us everywhere, from cell phones and automotive airbags to orchestrating AI-driven operation. An MCU can be thought of as a small computer with a high level of integration in a single part or chip. It has a central processor, memory for both short and long-term storage, and various ways to input and output data to perform actions.
The constituents of an MCU begin with its core component, where everything is directed and controlled; memory, where instructions are found and data is stored; and I/O components, which describe the physical pins of the device and their functionality.
