Preface

A microcontroller is a single-chip microprocessor system which contains data and program memory, serial and parallel I/O, timers, external and internal interrupts, all integrated into a single chip that can be purchased for as little as $2.00. About 40% of microcontroller applications are in office automation, such as PCs, laser printers, fax machines, intelligent telephones, and so forth.
