MCU microcontroller: also known as single chip microcomputer, it is a kind of lightweight digital computing chip
MCU appropriately reduces the frequency and specification of the central processing unit (CPU), and integrates the memory, counter, USB, a / D conversion, UART, PLC, DMA and other peripheral interfaces, and even LCD drive circuits on a single chip to form a chip level computer and do different combined control for different applications. It has high performance, low power consumption, programmable High flexibility. Two application fields of MCU chip industry -- Automotive Electronics
With the continuous expansion of automobile electronization and boundary, MCU application scenarios are becoming richer and richer #ecu (electronic control unit) generally refers to all electronic control systems on the automobile, also known as automobile "driving computer", which is responsible for controlling the driving state of the automobile and realizing various other functions ^ and MCU chip is the operation processor of ECU, It is the core of internal operation and processing of automotive electronic system.
With the evolution of the trend of automobile electrification and intelligence, the degree of automation of automobile electronics has improved The increase of in vehicle systems and functions drives the growth of the number of tecus. MCU, as a necessary component of ECU, will also usher in rapid growth with the improvement of the number of single vehicle ECUs.
Two application fields of MCU chip industry - Internet of things
The downstream fields of MCU are diverse. Taking the fast consumer Internet of things and Internet of vehicles in alot application scenario as the entry point, the demand for lot equipment is consistent with MCU and is an important source of increment in various fields in the future. 3
Multi technology, multi application integration and diversified requirements make the updating speed of intelligent terminal products faster and faster. By 2020, the number of global Internet of things connections will be close to 30 billion. The scale of the Internet of things market will increase at an annual rate of 16.9% before 2020 and will increase to US $1.7 trillion in 2020.
