Introduction
Since all the fields of man's activity are regularly based on adequate and already adopted
terms (through which other notions and definitions become), so in the field of microcontrollers we
can single out some frequently used terms. Ideas are often connected so that correct
understanding of one notion is needed in order to get acquainted with one or more of the other
ideas.
Microcontroller
Microprocessor with peripherals in one electronic component.
