Product Name: Avr Pic or x51
Product Description
Selecting your first micro controller as a newbie is really difficult as most of us have no idea which offers what , how difficult it\'ll be to program and other such things .Here is a little guide to help you out and get started with selecting your first uC . Here 8 bit varieties of the uC\'s are taken and are compared in an broad overview and not sticking to a single uC for the 3 series.
From a newbie\'s point of view here are a few things that he is usually concerned with
- Availability : The availability is a major issue here in India as most uC are available in metros only . The availability scenario is something like this x51 > PIC > AVR . x51 series has been around for about 20 years and now is available through many vendors and lots of flavors , but generally used are the 2051 , 89s52 and 89s8252 . So go for x51 if you can find any others . PIC is also relatively easy to find and the most often used is the 16f87x[x=3/4/6/7],16F628 and 16f84 . The avr is also easily available but only in metros and other major cities common ones are mega8 , at90s2313 , 8515 , mega16 , mega 128 .
- Cost : uC is not a piece of silicon which you buy every day , decent ones will burn a hole in your pocket . So making the right choice can save you a lot of money. The scenario is something like AVR == PIC > x51 with most series of avr having a pic counterpart with similar price . but if you really want to save money the x51 will come at half the price of the starter chip by any of the other two series . x51 start around Rs 60 for 89c51 ( 4k programmable flash ) . With the AVR and PIC with there at90s2313 and 16f84 starting around Rs 130 and RS 135[16F84/16F628] respectively .
