Advantages of atmega32


What are the advantages of using ATmega32 than other microcontrollers? Is it better than PIC, ARM, and 8051?


Solution

  • It depends.. Firstly you have to know what you want from the microprocessor.

    In general:

    PIC:

    • Old architecture. This means it's either expensive or slow
    • Targets only low end market (< few Mhz)
    • There's a lot of code written for it

    ARM

    • Scalable
    • Fast/cheap

    Atmega is somewhere in between
