. Describe the features of 8051 Microcontroller Family.  

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Microcontroller:

         A microcontroller is an integrated circuit (IC) device that controls other components of an electronic system, often through memory, peripherals, and a microprocessor unit (MPU). These devices are made for embedded software that needs both processing power and prompt, precise communication with electrical, digital, or analog components.

        The abbreviation "MCU," which stands for "microcontroller unit," is also widely used to refer to this class of integrated circuits, even though "microcontroller" is the name used to describe them most frequently. On rare occasions, you might also run into "C" (in which the Greek letter mu is used in place of "micro").

      Since "Microcontroller" emphasizes the specific features of this product category, the name is fitting. The word "micro" signifies smallness, whereas the phrase "controller" in this context implies a larger capacity to carry out control functions. As stated earlier, this functionality is created by combining a digital processor, memory, and extra hardware designed specifically to make communication between the microcontroller and other components easier.
