Basic micro-controllers circuit
Basic micro-controller circuit scehematic




























Explanation of the circuit:

The micro-controller in this schematic is a pic18f452 of the microchip serie pic18f.
But the circuit is fitting most micro-controllers with slight changes in the pins connections.

The circuit receives voltage from a 9v battery. A diode protects the circuit from inverted voltage
connections.  A led lights the voltage is supplied and the switch is closed.

The current then passes through a voltage regulator which outputs 5v which is appropriate voltage
for the micro-controller. This micro-controller has 2 pins VDD and 2 VCC. One is for digital outputs
and the other for analog.

In order to work the micro-controller has to be connected to an oscillator. In this case The oscillator
is a quartz crystal but there are other possibilities such as RC circuit.

This is the basic connection of a micro-controller. From here on after the micro-controller is burned
with a program each of the pins can be an output or an input. Some pins can function in analog
ways as well.
