8-bit PIC® and AVR® Microcontrollers

What are 8-bit microcontrollers used for?
8-bit microcontrollers are used in a wide range of automotive applications includ-ing remote keyless entry, lighting control and instrument cluster to name a few. Microchip’s PIC and AVR microcontrollers contain innovative motor control PWM peripherals including complimentary waveforms and dedicated time bases.
What is an AVR microcontroller?
These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. AVR was one of the first microcontroller families to use on-chip flash memory for program storage, as opposed to one-time programmable ROM, EPROM, or EEPROM used by other microcontrollers at the time. AVR microcontrollers find many applications as embedded systems.
What is the 8-bit PIC MCU?
Microchip's 8-bit PIC MCU features increased Flash memory densities, intelligent analog, and digital peripherals.
What is a PIC18 microcontroller?
Ofering the largest pin count and memory size, PIC18 microcontrollers combine the maximum level of performance and inte-gration with the ease-of-use of an 8-bit architecture. With up to 16 MIPS of processing power, PIC18 microcontrollers feature advanced peripherals such as CAN, USB, Ethernet, touch sensing and LCD display drivers.
