Using modern microcontrollers when designing electronic devices

Abstract

This article discusses the topic of the optimal choice of a microcontroller for your project. The use of modern materials in electronic devices designed for radiophysical measurements is a trend aimed at improving research. Magnetoelectric materials that are used to study electromagnetic and magnetic fields, to produce energy harvesting devices, to create radio measuring devices and neuromorphic computers can be an example of this. In turn, the development of such radiophysical devices for radio astronomy, quantum and statistical radiophysics, spectroscopy, as well as micro- and nanoelectronics is impossible without using modern microcontrollers. An overview and comparative analysis of various microcontrollers, including their architecture, peripherals, development environment and application areas, is presented. Various families of microcontrollers such as MCS-51, AVR, PIC, STM, ESP32 are considered and their characteristics and advantages are analyzed. This article will be useful for developers of electronic devices, students of radiophysics specialties and anyone interested in modern microcontrollers and their application in various fields.
