Abstract

Microcontrollers are essential components of embedded systems that enable various applications in different domains. However, choosing the most suitable microcontroller for a specific project can be challenging, as there are many factors to consider, such as architecture, peripherals, development environment, and application areas. This study offers a detailed overview and comparison of five common microcontrollers: AVR, 8052, PIC, ESP32, and STM32. It examines each microcontroller in terms of its architecture, peripherals, development environment, and application areas. It also provides a comparison to highlight the main differences between these microcontrollers and help engineers choose the best microcontroller for their projects. This study is a useful resource for both beginners and experienced engineers, as it gives a comprehensive insight into the different microcontrollers available and their respective applications.
