   The BCM has a microprocessor with clock, RAM memory and a flashable ROM. An internal bus that interconnects the processor and memory with the I/O unit. The I/O unit answers for gathering values from the A/D converter for analogue inputs, digital inputs, bus and to activate the transistors in the power amplifiers.
