What is IC and Microcontroller? |Working & Difference Explain

Описание: IC (Integrated Circuit) and Microcontroller are the brain of modern electronic devices.

🧠 IC (Integrated Circuit):

An IC is a tiny chip made up of transistors, resistors, and capacitors on a silicon wafer.
It performs specific tasks like amplification, logic control, or timing.
📌 Examples: 555 Timer IC, 741 Op-Amp, 7805 Voltage Regulator.

🤖 Microcontroller:

A Microcontroller is a mini computer on a single chip.
It has CPU, memory (RAM, ROM), and I/O ports all in one unit — used for control-based applications.
📌 Examples: Arduino (ATmega328), PIC, 8051, ESP8266.

⚡ Difference:

IC → Performs a single function.

Microcontroller → Controls multiple functions in a complete system.


🎯 Applications:

Used in automation, robotics, IoT, and home appliances.
