Abstract
This paper explores the significant developments in computer technology within the field of information engineering, with a particular focus on the applications of microcomputers. The research delves into two key areas: automatic control electromechanical systems and large-scale integrated circuits (LSI). In recent years, the integration of microcomputers in these systems has transformed the way data is processed, improving system efficiency and precision. The literature review identifies advancements in microcomputer-based control systems, which enhance real-time responsiveness and system stability, alongside innovations in circuit design that contribute to higher integration density and reduced power consumption. Case studies further highlight practical applications in industrial automation and GPS receiver design, demonstrating how microcomputers optimize both functionality and energy efficiency. By synthesizing these findings, this paper underscores the critical role of microcomputers in advancing modern information engineering and offers recommendations for future research, especially in areas where artificial intelligence and edge computing are integrated into next-generation systems. This study contributes to the understanding of how microcomputers enhance technological efficiency and drive innovation in complex engineering environments
