United States Patent 1
Abstract
The present invention relates to a microcontroller that may be configured to operate without the accompaniment of any external components. The microcontroller can function in a proper manner from the application of only power and signal lines with no external components required. The microcon- troller has integrated internal reset and oscillator circuitry into the microcontroller. The microcontroller has also inte- grated simple external components such as current limiting resistors and pull u and pull down resistor into the micro- controller in order to avoid application specific external
