| + | **Microcontroller Architecture – Component Overview** | ||
| - | Other Architectures: | + | * Interrupt Unit - Handles asynchronous events by temporarily halting the main program flow to execute interrupt service routines. |
| - | PIC | + | * SPI Unit - Implements the Serial Peripheral Interface protocol for high-speed synchronous data exchange with external devices. |
| + | * Watchdog Timer - A fail-safe timer that resets the system if the software becomes unresponsive or enters an infinite loop. | ||
| + | * Analog Comparator - Compares two analog input voltages and outputs a digital signal based on their relative magnitude. | ||
| + | * I/O Module - Interfaces with external peripherals, | ||
| + | * Flash Program Memory - Non-volatile memory used to store the program code, retaining data even when power is lost. | ||
| + | * Instruction Register - Temporarily holds the current instruction fetched from program memory before decoding. | ||
| + | * Instruction Decoder - Translates the binary instruction into control signals that direct the operation of internal units. | ||
| + | * Control Lines - Carry control signals that coordinate data flow and operations across the microcontroller. | ||
| + | * Program Counter - Keeps track of the address of the next instruction to be executed, enabling sequential program flow. | ||
| + | * Status and Control - Stores flags and control bits that reflect the current state of the processor and influence execution. | ||
| + | * 32×8 General Purpose Register - A set of 32 registers, each 8 bits wide, used for temporary data storage and arithmetic operations. | ||
| + | * ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) - Performs arithmetic and logical operations on data from the general-purpose registers. | ||
| + | * Data SRAM - Volatile memory used for runtime data storage, such as variables and stack operations. | ||
| + | * EEPROM - Electrically erasable non-volatile memory for storing user data that must persist across power cycles. | ||
| + | * I/O Lines - Physical pins that connect the microcontroller to external circuits for input and output tasks. | ||
| + | * Data Bus - An 8-bit pathway that transfers data between internal components, enabling communication and processing. | ||
