    Buses are used to transfer data and control signals between the processor and other components. There are three main types of buses: the address bus carries memory addresses, the data bus carries data bidirectionally, and the control bus carries unidirectional control signals and clock pulses. Von Neumann architecture uses a single memory to store both instructions and data, while Harvard architecture uses separate memories for each. Microcontrollers come in 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit versions and different families have their own features, like the 8051 having 4KB ROM, 128B RAM, and timers, while PICs have FLASH memory and analog capabilities.

    Buses

    A bus is a high-speed internal connection. Buses are used to send control signals and data between the
    processor and other components.
    Three types of bus are used.

     Address bus - carries memory addresses from the processor to other components such as primary storage
    and input/output devices. The address bus is unidirectional.
     Data bus - carries the data between the processor and other components. The data bus is bidirectional.
     Control bus - carries control signals from the processor to other components. The control bus also carries
    the clock's pulses. The control bus is unidirectional.

    Von Neumann Architecture:


    Von Neumann Architecture is a digital computer architecture whose design is based on the concept of
    stored program computers where program data and instruction data are stored in the same memory. This
    architecture was designed by the famous mathematician and physicist John Von Neumann in 1945.

    Harvard Architecture:
    Harvard Architecture is the digital computer architecture whose design is based on the concept where
    there are separate storage and separate buses (signal path) for instruction and data. It was basically
    developed to overcome the bottleneck of Von Neumann Architecture.

    Types of Microcontrollers
    Microcontrollers are divided into various categories based on memory, architecture, bits
    and instruction sets. Following is the list of their types −
    Bit
    Based on bit configuration, the microcontroller is further divided into three categories.
     8-bit microcontroller − This type of microcontroller is used to execute arithmetic
    and logical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication division, etc. For
    example, Intel 8031 and 8051 are 8 bits microcontroller.
     16-bit microcontroller − This type of microcontroller is used to perform arithmetic
    and logical operations where higher accuracy and performance is required. For
    example, Intel 8096 is a 16-bit microcontroller.
    32-bit microcontroller − This type of microcontroller is generally used in automatically
    controlled appliances like automatic operational machines, medical appliances, etc

    with 40 pins DIP (dual inline package), 4kb of ROM storage and 128 bytes of RAM
    storage, 2 16-bit timers. It consists of are four parallel 8-bit ports, which are programmable
    as well as addressable as per the requirement.

    year 1993. It is controlled by the software. They could be programmed to complete many tasks and control
    a generation line and many more. PIC microcontrollers are finding their way into new applications like
    smartphones, audio accessories, video gaming peripherals, and advanced medical devices.
    There are many PICs, started with PIC16F84 and PIC16C84. But these were the only affordable flash
    PICs. Microchip has recently introduced flash chips with types that are much more attractive, such as
    16F628, 16F877, and 18F452. The 16F877 is around twice the price of the old 16F84 but has eight times
