    The first microprocessor was the 4-bit Intel 4004 released in 1971, but it required external chips, raising costs and preventing computerization of appliances. The first microcontroller, the Intel 8048 released in 1976, integrated RAM, ROM, and other components onto a single chip, allowing it to be used in over a billion keyboards and other applications. Early microcontrollers typically had variants with erasable EEPROM or one-time programmable PROM memory.

    Evolution - History of Microcontroller

    The first single chip microprocessor was the 4 bit Intel 4004 released in 1971,
    with other more capable processors available over the next several years. These,
    however all required external chips to implement a working system, raising total system
    cost, and making it impossible to economically computerize appliances.

    The first computer system on a chip optimized for control applications - micro
    controller was the Intel 8048 released in 1976, with both RAM and ROM on the
    same chip. This chip would find its way into over one billion PC keyboards, and other
    numerous applications.

    Most microcontrollers at this time had two variants. One had an erasable EEPROM
    program memory, which was significantly more expensive than the PROM variant which
    was only programmable once.

    The Evolution of Microcontrollers has undergone a significant change since early 1970s.
    The Development table of microcontrollers is given as follows:
