MCS Family Characteristics
Power Management
Modern microcontrollers are designed with less power-
hungry Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
(CMOS) technology.
Apart from that most microcontrollers offer power
management modes like, Sleep Mode or Idle Mode.
In these modes, microcontrollers consume less power than
at the time when they are fully functional.
Some microcontrollers (like AVR) allows to shut down
their unused sectors (like ADC or DAC) So that less power
could be consumed.
Schematic Inputs & Outputs,
External Features
Power is the most important input, without which the device would not
function at all.
External crystal input is necessary to generate the heartbeats of the
processor.
The third input signal, RESET, is necessary to initialize various features of the
processor to make a fresh start.
