Opportunities and Challenges of Domestic MCU Replacement

Opportunities and Challenges of Domestic MCU Replacement

If there were no MCU, we would not deserve to be called “modern people”. MCU is not the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a necessity for modern life, MCU (Microcontroller Unit, 微控制单元, also known as single-chip microcontroller) has long been integrated into human production and life, and is ubiquitous. Air conditioners, remote controls, smart chargers… basically … Read more
