Microcontrollers

A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications.

PIC Chip ICSP Programming Socket

The programming of Microchip Technology Inc.'s microcontrollers can be done using different expensive tools, or it can be done directly on the system you are developing by the ICSP technique (In Circuit Serial Programming); the latter method requires that the designer adds to his project an appropriate plug connected to the microcontroller to make programming operations on board.
