Summary

Early microcontrollers typically provided only a few built-in peripheral devices in addition to the CPU and memory that made them stand-alone devices. For example, the original version of the 8051 developed by Intel in 1980 included only two 16-bit timer/counters and a serial port (UART), in addition to the basic CPU, memory and I/O ports.
