1、外文译文单片机单片机即单片微型计算机，是把中央处理器、存储器、定时/计数器、输入输出接口都集成在一块集成电路芯片上的微型计算机。与应用在个人电脑中的通用型微处理器相比，它更强调自供应（不用外接硬件）和节约成本。它的最大优点是体积小，可放在仪表内部，但存储量小，输入输出接口简单，功能较低。由于其发展非常迅速，旧的单片机的定义已不能满足，所以在很多应用场合被称为范围更广的微控制器，但是目前在中国大陆仍多沿用“单片机”的称呼。 绝大多数现在的单片机都是基于冯诺伊曼结构的，这种结构清楚地定义了嵌入式系统所必需的四个基本部分：一个中央处理器核心，程序存储器（只读存储器或者闪存）、数据存储器（随机存储器）
2、，一个或者更多的定时/计时器，还有用来与外围设备以及扩展资源进行通信的输入/输出端口所有这些都被集成在单个集成电路芯片上。说单片机与通用型中央处理单元芯片不同是因为前者一般很容易配合最小型的外部支持芯片制成工作计算机。这样就可以很容易的把单片机系统植入装置内部来控制装置了。近年来为了在指令和数据上使用不同的字宽，并提高处理器流水线速度，哈佛结构在微控制器和DSP也逐渐得到了广泛的应用。 传统的微处理器是不允许这么做的。它要完成单片机的工作，就必须连接一些其他芯片。比如说，片上没有数据存储器，就必须要添加一些RAM的存储芯片，虽然所添加存储器的容量很灵活，但是至少还是要添加，另外还需要添加很多连
3、线来传递芯片之间的数据。 比如，一个典型的微控制器只需要一个时钟发生器和很少的RAM和ROM(或者EPROM, E2PROM)就可以在软件和晶振下工作了。同时，微控制器具有丰富的输入输出设备，像是模拟数字转换(ADC)，定时器，串口或者其他串行通讯接口(比如I2C，串行外围接口(SPI),控制器局域网)。通常，这些继承在内部的设备可以通过特殊的指令来操作。 一些现代的微控制器支持一些内建的高级编程语言，比如BASIC语言。一个微控制器（也叫MCU）是一个微型计算芯片。它包含一个处理器、一个内存（有少量的RAM ，程序存储器，或两者兼而有之）和一个可编程输入/输出外设。 它强调高度集成，而相比之
4、下，一个微处理器只包含一个CPU （比如一台PC ） 。除了通常的算术和逻辑要素等一般用途的微处理器，微控制器还集成了更多的要素，如读写存储器的数据存储，只读存储器的存储程序，快闪记忆体的永久数据存储，外设，和输入/输出接口。在时钟频率只有32Mhz的情况下 ，微操作系统往往以非常低的速度相运行，但是这足够典型的应用。他们消耗较少的功率（毫瓦或什微） ，且具有保持功能，同时可以等待一个事件，如一个按钮的按下或中断。在睡眠状态时， CPU时钟和外设禁用，从而使它们适合用于低功耗和长期持久的电池应用。 微控制器广泛应用于自动控制产品和设备，如汽车发动机控制系统，远程控制系统，办公室机器设备系统，家
5、用电器，电动工具，和玩具等。通过降低尺寸，成本和能耗，设计使用单独的微处理器，内存和输入/输出设备，能够使微控制器控制更多的进程，更经济。目前，大多数的计算机系统被嵌入在其他设备中使用，如汽车，电话以及很多需要外设的计算机系统。这些嵌入其他设备的计算机系统被称为嵌入式系统。有些嵌入式系统是非常复杂的，很多能够达到人们的要求，但由于内存和程序长度的限制，软件的复杂性降低。典型的输入和输出设备包括交换机，继电器，螺线管，发光二极管，小形或定制的液晶显示器，数码显示器等。射频设备和传感器等嵌入式系统通常没有键盘，屏幕，硬盘，打印机或其他公认的I / O设备，并可能缺乏人机互动装置的任何一种。某些强制
6、性的微控制器能够提供实时应对突发事件的嵌入式系统并控制它们。当某些事件发生时，中断系统能够让信号处理器暂停处理当前的指令序列，并开始了中断服务。当中断服务结束之后，再返回原来的指令序列，这就是我们通常所说的单片机的中断系统。中断源的设备依赖通常有很多种，如内部定时器溢、完成了模拟向数字转换、逻辑水平变化的一种投入、一个按钮被按下和收到了数据的通信联系等。凡是许多重要的中断源发出中断申请，都必须中断，如电池供电的设备停止运行后，微控制器在低功耗睡眠状态下的处理器必须停止，直到做一些外围的活动才重新开始返回当前指令序列。单片机程序必须符合现有的芯片程序存储器的要求，因为这将是代价高昂的系统提供了与
7、外部设备之间可以扩展的存储器。编译器和汇编语言是用来打开高级语言程序到一个紧凑机器代码存储在微控制器的存储过程。根据不同的设备，程式记忆体可能是永久性的，而唯读存储器，只能进行编程。在工厂，可以生产可擦除式只读存储器。由于嵌入式处理器通常是用来控制设备的，他们有时需要接受输入设备的数据输入，但由于处理器内置处理数数据只有1和0 ，所以它们将无法直接处理任何模拟信号。因此，要先使需要处理的数据通过模拟向数字转换的过程，才能使传入的数据转化为处理器可以识别的形式。还有一种转换器叫做数模转换器，他能够使数字信号转换为模拟信号并将数据发送到需要CPU控制的设备上，以达到控制的目的。此外，许多嵌入式微处
8、理器包括各种兼职的转换器。最常见的一种类型的转换器是可编程间隔定时转换器。工作过程为一个倒计时刚到达零，它就会对处理器发出一个中断的指令。这表明它已经完成转换，并需要对所控制的设备发出指令，使其作出某些动作。这是非常有用的设备，如恒温系统，需要定期测试他们周围的温度，看看他们是否需要打开空调或者加热器等等。外文原文：MCUA microcontroller (or MCU) is a computer-on-a-chip.

9、 contrast to a general-purpose microprocessor (the kind used in a PC). The majority of computer systems in use today are embedded in other machinery, such as telephones, clocks, appliances, vehicles, and infrastructure.

10、h and may require simple but unusual input/output systems. For example, most embedded systems lack keyboards, screens, disks, printers, or other recognizable I/O devices of a personal computer. They may control electric motors, relays or voltages, and read switches, variable resistors or other elect
11、ronic devices. Often, the only I/O device readable by a human is a single light-emitting diode, and severe cost or power constraints can even eliminate that. In contrast to general-purpose CPUs, microcontrollers do not have an address bus or a data bus, because they integrate all the RAM and non-vol
12、atile memory on the same chip as the CPU. Because they need fewer pins, the chip can be placed in a much smaller, cheaper package. Integrating the memory and other peripherals on a single chip and testing them as a unit increases the cost of that chip, but often results in decreased net cost of the
13、embedded system as a whole. (Even if the cost of a CPU that has integrated peripherals is slightly more than the cost of a CPU + external peripherals, having fewer chips typically allows a smaller and cheaper circuit board, and reduces the labor required to assemble and test the circuit board). This
14、 trend leads to design. 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 communi

17、duction in the 1970s. Some microcontrollers can afford to use a Harvard architecture: separate memory buses for instructions and data, allowing accesses to take place concurrently. The decision of which peripheral to integrate is often difficult. The Microcontroller vendors often trade operating fre
18、quencies and system design flexibility against time-to-market requirements from their customers and overall lower system cost. Manufacturers have to balance the need to minimize the chip size against additional functionality. Microcontroller architectures are available from many different vendors in
19、 so many varieties that each instruction set architecture could rightly belong to a category of their own. Chief among these are the 8051, Z80 and ARM derivatives.citation needed A microcontroller (also MCU or C) is a functional computer system-on-a-chip. It contains a processor core, memory, and pr
20、ogrammable input/output peripherals.Microcontrollers include an integrated CPU, memory (a small amount of RAM, program memory, or both) and peripherals capable of input and output. 待添加的隐藏文字内容3It emphasizes high integration, in contrast to a microprocessor which only contains a CPU (the kind used in
21、a PC). In addition to the usual arithmetic and logic elements of a general purpose microprocessor, the microcontroller integrates additional elements such as read-write memory for data storage, read-only memory for program storage, Flash memory for permanent data storage, peripherals, and input/outp
22、ut interfaces. At clock speeds of as little as 32KHz, microcontrollers often operate at very low speed compared to microprocessors, but this is adequate for typical applications. They consume relatively little power (milliwatts or even microwatts), and will generally have the ability to retain funct
23、ionality while waiting for an event such as a button press or interrupt. Power consumption while sleeping (CPU clock and peripherals disabled) may be just nanowatts, making them ideal for low power and long lasting battery applications.Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products a
24、nd devices, such as automobile engine control systems, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, and toys. By reducing the size, cost, and power consumption compared to a design using a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to
25、 electronically control many more processes.The majority of computer systems in use today are embedded in other machinery, such as automobiles, telephones, appliances, and peripherals for computer systems. These are called embedded systems. While some embedded systems are very sophisticated, many ha
26、ve minimal requirements for memory and program length, with no operating system, and low software complexity. Typical input and output devices include switches, relays, solenoids, LEDs, small or custom LCD displays, radio frequency devices, and sensors for data such as temperature, humidity, light l
27、evel etc. Embedded systems usually have no keyboard, screen, disks, printers, or other recognizable I/O devices of a personal computer, and may lack human interaction devices of any kind.It is mandatory that microcontrollers provide real time response to events in the embedded system they are contro
28、lling. When certain events occur, an interrupt system can signal the processor to suspend processing the current instruction sequence and to begin an interrupt service routine (ISR). The ISR will perform any processing required based on the source of the interrupt before returning to the original in
29、struction sequence. Possible interrupt sources are device dependent, and often include events such as an internal timer overflow, completing an analog to digital conversion, a logic level change on an input such as from a button being pressed, and data received on a communication link. Where power c
30、onsumption is important as in battery operated devices, interrupts may also wake a microcontroller from a low power sleep state where the processor is halted until required to do something by a peripheral event.Microcontroller programs must fit in the available on-chip program memory, since it would
31、 be costly to provide a system with external, expandable, memory. Compilers and assembly language are used to turn high-level language programs into a compact machine code for storage in the microcontrollers memory. Depending on the device, the program memory may be permanent, read-only memory that
32、can only be programmed at the factory, or program memory may be field-alterable flash or erasable read-only memory.Since embedded processors are usually used to control devices, they sometimes need to accept input from the device they are controlling. This is the purpose of the analog to digital con
33、verter. Since processors are built to interpret and process digital data, i.e. 1s and 0s, they wont be able to do anything with the analog signals that may be being sent to it by a device. So the analog to digital converter is used to convert the incoming data into a form that the processor can reco
34、gnize. There is also a digital to analog converter that allows the processor to send data to the device it is controlling.In addition to the converters, many embedded microprocessors include a variety of timers as well. One of the most common types of timers is the Programmable Interval Timer, or PI
35、T for short. A PIT just counts down from some value to zero. Once it reaches zero, it sends an interrupt to the processor indicating that it has finished counting. This is useful for devices such as thermostats, which periodically test the temperature around them to see if they need to turn the air
36、conditioner on, the heater on, etc.Time Processing Unit or TPU for short. Is essentially just another timer, but more sophisticated. In addition to counting down, the TPU can detect input events, generate output events, and other useful operations.Dedicated Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) block makes i
37、t possible for the CPU to control power converters, resistive loads, motors, etc., without using lots of CPU resources in tight timer loops.Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) block makes it possible to receive and transmit data over a serial line with very little load on the CPU.For those wanting ethernet one can use an external chip like Crystal Semiconductor CS8900A, Realtek RTL8019, or Microchip ENC 28J60. All of them allow easy interfacing with low pin count.
