A consequence of the revolutionary advances in microelectronics is that practically all control systems constructed today are based on microprocessors and sophisticated microcontrollers. By using computer-controlled systems it is possible to obtain higher performance than with analog systems, as well as new functionality. New software tools have also drastically improved the engineering efficiency in analysis and design of control systems.
