Name: Aryan Sachin Wable

Branch: Mathematics And computing

Roll.No: 24MAB0A45

Task 1-1:
list of microcontrollers other than Arduino uno
1. NodeMCU: Based on the ESP8266 chip, it's great for IoT projects
and comes with built-in Wi-Fi.
2. Teensy 4: A powerful board with a 600MHz ARM Cortex-M7
processor, perfect for high-speed applications.
3. MSP430 Launchpad: Known for its low power consumption, ideal
for battery-operated projects.
4. Raspberry Pi: A tiny, affordable microcontroller board with dual-
core ARM Cortex-M0+ processors.
5. STM32 Nucleo: A range of boards based on the STM32 family of
32-bit microcontrollers, offering high performance.
6. ESP32: A successor to the ESP8266, it includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
capabilities.
7. PIC32 Microcontrollers: Microchip Technology's PIC32 family
offers robust performance and a wide range of peripherals.
8. BeagleBone: A powerful, community-supported development
platform with Linux support.
9. ATmega328P: The same microcontroller used in the Arduino Uno,
available on various breakout boards.
10. Intel Edison: A compact, dual-core Intel processor board
suitable for IoT projects.

Task 1-2:
 Microprocessor: This is essentially the "brain" of a computer. A
microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) on a single
integrated circuit (IC). It's responsible for performing arithmetic,
control, and input/output operations specified by the program.
Microprocessors are found in various devices.

o Main Tasks: General computing, running complex operating


systems, high processing power.
o Typical Use Cases: PCs, laptops, servers.

 Microcontroller Unit (MCU): An MCU is an integrated circuit that


includes a processor, memory, and input/output peripherals on a
single chip. It's designed for specific control applications and is
optimized for managing embedded systems.

o Main Tasks: Handling specific, repetitive control tasks with


lower processing power.

o Typical Use Cases: Embedded systems in appliances,


automotive systems and medical devices.

ii) System on Chip (SoC)

imagine an SoC as an all-in-one gym. It's a single chip that packs


everything you need: a CPU, memory, peripherals, and more, like a GPU or
wireless modules. This makes SoCs incredibly efficient and compact, ideal
for modern gadgets that need to be both powerful and space-saving.

 Key Role: Complete system solution on a single chip.

 Where You Find It: In smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and IoT
devices.
