Line 3:
A '''single-board microcontroller''' is a [[microcontroller]] built onto a single [[printed circuit board]]. This board provides all of the circuitry necessary for a useful control task: a [[microprocessor]], [[input/output|I/O circuits]], a [[clock generator]], [[RAM]], stored program memory and any necessary support [[integrated circuit|IC]]s. The intention is that the board is immediately useful to an application developer, without requiring them to spend time and effort to develop controller hardware.
 
As they are usually low-cost, and have an especially low capital cost for development, single-board microcontrollers have long been popular in education. They are also a popular means for developers to gain hands-on experience with a new [[processor family]].
