Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more devices and processes. Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, integrating analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems. What inference can be drawn from the above?

Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, integrating analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems. What inference can be drawn from the above? Correct Answer Microcontrollers save money.
Option 1 is a wrong inference, as it is mentioned that microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products, however not all automatically controlled products necessarily contain a microcontroller. Option 2 is correct, as it is mentioned that microcontrollers are economical.
Hence, option 2 is the answer.
