where 8051 microcontroller be prefere?

With so many types available in the market today and with so many benefits it is not easy to focus in one single type, mainly the type of project that this being developed.
The question is: Which microcontroller do you use or prefer and why?

I like the PIC18 a lot, as well 8051 and HC08. I like because its hardware is really great and is very easy to program.

why we use microcontrollers

I use PIC
because it is the only one locally available in different RAM, ROM and peripheral capacities and packages.

mcs50 processor architecture

I prefer Microchip PIC, because I have more resources and tools for Microchip MCU.
 

PIC's are great for the large selection with internal perf. no other company is offering this. The PIC10F i think is the best of them all, microchip understands the customer, we are wating now for more PIC10F devices and even smaller if possible PIC8F devices maybe in micro-SMD package maybe :).
The MSP430 is also a very interesting chip but really focused on low power analog stuff.

I think LPC should also be on this list since its impressive and very good priced. I think AMR7 will kill microchip PIC24, dsPIC30, 33 core in the long run !
 

For me the coding in assembly will be lot more easier than other cores

It's like falling in love.

At the fist glance they are one like the other. I can live with any of them. But then I started to pay more attention to the details... Had a couple of adventures... And, after having spent some time together - although I know my favourite has many minor faults and drawbacks - I am still with it faithfully...

pic indeed, at least, it has many resources, and I can find it in my country... still I`m waiting to get hands to an AVR...
 

Hi all
The ARM7 is my own favorite, but the PIC is very popular with the do-it-yourself crowd also. they are very cheap to obtain & work with.

My favourite is the dsPIC30F series. Many reasons; they are easy to program with simple tools, I can use MPLAB which we always used at school, they come in DIP package so I can prototype stuff on breadboard, they are fast (30MIPS, 120MHz some can be overclocked up to 50MIPS, 200MHz if you heatsink them), they have a decent math performance, DSP libraries for stuff like FIR filters, PID regs, etc, and they run at 5V! They are available with 12-bit A/D or PWM, and my personal favourite is using two; one with 12-bit A/D reading sensors and running digital filters, as SPI slave under one with PWM, running PID-loops and controlling servos!

ATMEL 89C51 is also gud for simple projects... due to easy structure u can understand it easily... and also available in bulk in most of the countries

I am using AVR series because i have all the things that i need: IDE in C (IccAVR), IDE in asm (AvrStudio), hardware to program and debug (STK500)

I use Hitachi series and Renesas Series regularly
hi jayavardhan
Why do you use those?

i use AVR bcoz its easy to use and free net support is available. i first tried PIC 16f628a made programmer but got stuck in assembly lang. while avr is easy to use avrstudio n winnavr makes easy to use n use c lang also
 

I use PIC. There are a lot of tools available and the option to use high level language makes it a good choice.
It is also available almost everywhere.
 

For me is the PIC.

Microchip have done a good job, if have lots of different PICs, from small and simple to complex and powerful, not expensive, you also can buy a PIC almost everywhere.

Microchip also have a good software for developing the PICs, good support, and lots of samples.

The PIC is really easy to program, you can use it in lots of different things, and if you search in the net you will find lots of things related to PICs.

Easier is difficult :D

my favorite is the pic because it can be easily programmed using pic basic pro compiler and also because it can not only sink but also source the current in a very good manner

Hi

I have worked with all most every microcontroller in the world
I have design hardware and write software for lot of project, in all most any field of technology

- from my point of view the following are the best in descending order:


1. ARM - flash best microcontroller
2. MSP430
3. 8051
4. AVR
5. PIC

All the best
