Central processing unitCPU is the brain of a microcontroller .CPU is responsible for fetching the instruction, decodes it, then finally executed.

MemoryThe function of memory is to store data and program.

System ClockIn general an oscillator is used to generate a clock signal. The purpose of the clock is to help all the parts of the microcontroller work together.

PeripheralsMicrocontrollers usually contain from several general purpose input/output pins (GPIO). GPIO pins are software configurable to either an input or an output state.
