A microcontroller is a computer present in a single integrated circuit which is dedicated to perform one task and execute one specific application.
It contains memory, programmable input/output peripherals as well a processor. Microcontrollers are mostly designed for embedded applications and are heavily used in automatically controlled electronic devices such as cellphones, cameras, microwave ovens, washing machines, etc.
