| A **Microcontroller** is a small computer on a single metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chip. A microcontroller contains one or more CPUs ([[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:processor|processor]] cores) along with memory and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a small amount of RAM. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications consisting of various discrete chips. | A **Microcontroller** is a small computer on a single metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chip.
