A microcontroller is a single integrated circuit, commonly with the following features:
* central processing unit - ranging from small and simple 4-bit processors to sophisticated 32- or 64-bit processors
* input/output interfaces such as serial ports (UARTs)
* other serial communications interfaces like I²C, Serial Peripheral Interface and Controller Area Network for system interconnect
* peripherals such as timers and watchdog
* RAM for data storage
* ROM, EPROM, EEPROM or Flash memory for program storage
* clock generator - often an oscillator for a quartz timing crystal, resonator or RC circuit
* many include analog-to-digital converters

i don know whether u have posted it for a real interest or just increasing poit. if u really want to know it, i would suggest u to move some website like:
As the name suggests, it is a micro controller.
which means it has small size,less weight an dyet it can work wonders.
Embedded programming can be used to achieve absolutely great automations and applications.
I am currently doing a microcontroller based project on automatic vacuum cleaners.
i have mentioned about this project in another topic in this section itself.
