SCM is an integrated in a chip on the integrity of computer systems. Although most of his functions integrated in a small chip, but it is a complete computer most of the required components: CPU, memory, internal and external bus system, most will have Waicun. At the same time, such as integrated communications interface, timers, real-time clock, and other peripheral equipment. Now the most powerful SCM system can even voice, images, networks, complex input-output system integration in a chip.
SCM also known as micro-controllers, because it was first used in the field of industrial control. SCM only by the CPU chip, developed from a dedicated processor. The first design concept is by and large number of peripheral devices integrated in a CPU chip, the computer system is smaller, more easily integrated into the complex and demanding that the control devices. INTEL the Z80 was the first such thinking in accordance with the design of the processor, henceforth, SCM and the development of dedicated processor is parted ways.
Early SCM are eight or the four. One of the most successful is the 8031 INTEL, because simple and reliable performance and good access to a lot of praise. Since then in 8031 on the development of a series MCS51 SCM system. Based on this system until now the SCM system is still widely used. As the field of industrial control requirements of the increase, began to appear in 16-bit microcontrollers, but not ideal because the price has not been very widely used. As the 1990s after the big consumer electronics product development, SCM technology got a huge raise. With INTEL i960 series in particular, the subsequent series of extensive application of ARM, 32-bit microcontroller quickly replaced by 16 high-end MCU status and enter the mainstream market. And the traditional 8-bit microcontrollers performance has been improving rapidly, the capacity increase compared with the 1980s a few hundred times. At present, high-speed 32-bit microcontroller has exceeded 300 MHz, catching up performance of the mid-1990s, dedicated processors, and the general model prices fell to one U.S. dollars, the most high-end models only 10 U.S. dollars. Contemporary SCM system is no longer only barebone environment in the development and use of a large number of dedicated embedded operating system is widely used in the entire series on the MCU. In a handheld computers and mobile phones with high-end microcontroller core can even direct the use of a dedicated Windows and Linux operating systems.
SCM dedicated processor than the most suitable for embedded systems, so it was up to the application. In fact SCM is the world's largest number of computers. Modern human life used in almost every electronic and machinery products will integrate a microcontroller. Cell phone, telephone, calculator, household appliances, electronic toys, handheld computers and computer accessories such as a mouse with a 1-2 in both the Department of SCM. And personal computers will also have a large number of SCM at work. General vehicle equipped with more than 40 of the microcontroller, complex industrial control systems may have even hundreds of SCM at the same time work! SCM is not only far exceeded the number of PC and other integrated computing, or even than the number of human beings more.
It can be said that the 20th century across the three "power" of the times, that is, electrical era, the electronic age and has now entered the computer age. However, such a computer, usually refers to personal computer, or PC. It consists of host, keyboards, monitors and other components. There are a class of computers, most people do not know how. This computer is to give all kinds of smart machines SCM (also known as micro-controllers). As the name suggests, the smallest such computer systems use only one of the integrated circuit to make a simple calculation and control. Because of its small size, are usually charged with possession of machine in the "belly",. It throughout the device, like the human mind to play the role it has defects, the entire device paralyzed. Now, the SCM has been very extensive use of areas, such as intelligent instruments, real-time industrial control, communications equipment, navigation systems, such as household appliances. Once a variety of products used SCM, will serve to upgrade the effectiveness of products, often called the product name before the adjective - "intelligent", such as intelligent washing machines. At present, some factories or other technical personnel who engage in the development of amateur electronic out of certain products, is not too complicated circuit, is the function was too simple and easy to imitate. The reason may not use the card products in the SCM or other programmable logic device.
