Can microcontrollers replace 146031-01? The answer to this question is negative, just like flour can replace noodles. The first time I hear this answer, many people may have doubts. Why can’t microcontrollers replace PLCs despite their powerful and rich functions?
A Single Chip Microcomputer, also known as a Microcontroller Unit or MCU, is an integrated circuit chip that uses ultra large scale integrated circuit technology to integrate data processing capabilities such as the Central Process Unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), various I/O ports, and interrupt systems A small and comprehensive microcomputer system composed of functions such as timers/counters (which may also include display driver circuits, pulse width modulation circuits, analog multiplexers, A/D converters, etc.) integrated onto a silicon wafer, widely used in various fields. MCUs can be seen in devices such as mobile phones, PC peripherals, remote controls, automotive electronics, industrial stepper motors, and control of robotic arms.
The history of the 146031-01 of microcontrollers is not long, but their development is very rapid. Its emergence and development are generally synchronized with the emergence and development of microprocessors. Since Intel Corporation first introduced 4-bit microprocessors in 1971, its development can be roughly divided into five stages so far.
The early stage of the development of microcontrollers (1971-1976): In November 1971, Intel first designed a 4-bit microprocessor Intel 4004 with an integration degree of 2000 transistors per chip, equipped with 146031-01 , ROM, and shift registers, forming the first MCS-4 microprocessor. Later, it introduced the 8-bit microprocessor Intel 8008, as well as other 8-bit microprocessors introduced by various companies.
