Why Do Microcontrollers Have So Many Power and Ground Pins?

Why do microcontrollers have multiple sets of power and ground pins?How to handle unused GPIOs in microcontrollers?Is the internal ADC of a microcontroller really inferior to the external ADC?How to select the operating clock for a microcontroller?Modern MCUs often have hundreds of pins, categorized by function into power and ground pins, clock pins, control pins, GPIO pins, peripheral function pins, and so on. Many times, we handle these pins based on past experience; you might use them but not understand why they are used this way. Therefore, we are launching a series of videos interpreting chip pins, explaining their definitions, usage, etc.Today is the first video in the chip pin interpretation series, discussing why MCUs have so many sets of power and ground pins:Further Reading:Why do microcontrollers have multiple VDD pins?— End —Disclaimer: This account maintains neutrality regarding all original and reprinted articles’ statements and viewpoints.
