Many
microcontroller applications are by batteries and may even rely on “super
capacity” for staying operational during power outages. For this reason ,
minimizing power consumption in microcontrollers is an important issue. As
noted above, virtually all requires significantly lesser power devices. Because
of the wide variety of different applications, power handling circuitry of
microcontrollers is designed as robustly as possible to ensure that the device
will run under a variety of conditions.

One important
point to note on power is all the different terms that can used to describe it.
For different devices, you will see “Vcc” or “Vdd” to indicate power (typically
+5V, although in some devices it can be low as +2V). Similarly, “Vss” and Gnd”
is used to indicate ground.
