    Hello,

     

    When I connect the power supply to the circuit my controller gets heated up. I have destroyed two microcontroller because of this.

    May be you have short circuited the input supply. Or you are drawing or giving more current to the uc. Like trying to run a motor without a driver results in heat dissipation. Or may be you have not conneccted your circuit properly.
