Question :
What are the criteria for choosing a microcontroller are?
Criteria
for choosing a microcontroller are:
- The first
and foremost criterion in choosing a microcontroller is that it must meet the task
at hand efficiently and cost effectively.
- In
analyzing the needs of a microcontroller based project, we must first see
whether an 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit microcontroller can best handle the computing
needs of the task most effectively.
- Power consumption
especially critical for battery-powered products.
- The amount
of RAM and ROM on chip.
- The number of I/O pins and the timer on the chip.
- The highest
speed that the microcontroller supports.
