uc base system

Small power consumption Single chip, small board Implementation is easy Low cost

Can be used as Reconfigurable Hardware uC can reprogram on the fly(ISP)

ucs
Many ucs are existing right now.
8051, 68HC11, MSP430, ARM series, etc.

We may widely divide it with

CISC versus RISC

CISC Emphasis on hardware Includes multi-clock complex instructions Small code sizes, high cycles per second RISC Emphasis on software Single-clock, reduced instruction only Low cycles per second, large code sizes
