Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
PIC stands for ____
A
Peripheral interrupt controller
B
Peripheral Interface Controller
C
Peripheral Interface Computer
D
Peripheral interrupt computer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The name PIC initially referred to Peripheral Interface Controller, and is currently expanded as Programmable Intelligent Computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -PIC is an abbreviation used for Peripheral Interface Controller. PIC microcontroller is the smallest microcontroller in the world and are programmed to execute large number of operations. These were initially designed to support PDP (programmed data processor) computers, for controlling the peripheral devices.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term PIC stands for Peripheral Interface Controller. Initially this was developed for supporting PDP computers to control its peripheral devices, and therefore, named as a peripheral interface device. These microcontrollers are very fast and easy to execute a program compared with other microcontrollers.

Detailed explanation-4: -PIC microcontrollers ( Programmable Interface Controllers), are electronic circuits that can be programmed to carry out a vast range of tasks. They can be programmed to be timers or to control a production line and much more.

Detailed explanation-5: -The expansion of PIC represents the peripheral interface controller which is the term rarely used these days. Arduino is available as an open-source that is user-friendly in terms of both software and hardware. They belong to the family of microcontrollers.
