Abstract
This is an era of SOC (System-on-Chip) based computing. Embedded systems play significant role in representing computing power in the smallest possible device that too in the most liberal way. Microcontroller is represented as a major embedded system product and is responsible to carry computing power on any-time-any-where basis. The modern PC or PC-based industrial applications use many small microcontroller circuits in keyboards, printers, modems, disk controller, sound card, CD-ROM drive, mouse, bar-code reader (printing industries), power drill machines (automobile industries), SCADA system (process industries), fire alarm system (security and safety engineering) and smart cards (banking industry) to name a few. Microcontroller makes it possible to empower the simplest application and the product with computing intelligence at an affordable cost. The selection of the microcontroller is based on the facts, such as, availability of software development aids, market trend and design expertise, power consumption and computing speed, instruction set and on chip memory, prototype size and design, I/O and timer availability, possibilities of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) based implementation and upward compatibility.
