1.MCU
A microcontroller (or MCU) is a computer-on-a-chip. It is a type of microprocessor emphasizing self-sufficiency and cost-effectiveness, in contrast to a general-purpose microprocessor (the kind used in a PC).

The majority of computer systems in use today are embedded in other machinery, such as telephones, clocks, appliances, vehicles, and infrastructure. An embedded system usually has minimal requirements for memory and program length and may require simple but unusual input/output systems. For example, most embedded systems lack keyboards, screens, disks, printers, or other recognizable I/O devices of a personal computer. They may control electric motors, relays or voltages, and read switches, variable resistors or other electronic devices. Often, the only I/O device readable by a human is a single light-emitting diode, and severe cost or power constraints can even eliminate that.
单片机即单片微型计算机,是把中央处理器、存储器、定时/计数器、输入输出接口都集成在一块集成电路芯片上的微型计算机。与应用在个人电脑中的通用型微处理器相比,它更强调自供应(不用外接硬件)和节约成本。它的最大优点是体积小,可放在仪表内部,但存储量小,输入输出接口简单,功能较低。由于其发展非常迅速,旧的单片机的定义已不能满足,所以在很多应用场合被称为范围更广的微控制器,但是目前在中国大陆仍多沿用“单片机”的称呼。

绝大多数现在的单片机都是基于冯•诺伊曼结构的,这种结构清楚地定义了嵌入式系统所必需的四个基本部分:一个中央处理器核心,程序存储器(只读存储器或者闪存)、数据存储器(随机存储器),一个或者更多的定时/计时器,还有用来与外围设备以及扩展资源进行通信的输入/输出端口——所有这些都被集
