Microcontroller Selection Criteria Quiz

Microchip's PIC microcontrollers use the Harvard architecture and are commonly used in refrigerators and basic projects.

ATMEL's AVR microcontrollers have on-chip EPROM memory.

8051 and PIC microcontrollers can directly address all available RAM.

Microcontrollers are designed to use the appropriate amount of power and speed to complete a specific task.

ARM microcontrollers typically have higher clock speeds than 8051 and PIC microcontrollers.

The choice of C-compilers for 8051, AVR, and ARM microcontrollers is limited.

Microcontrollers are used in embedded systems to efficiently and cost-effectively meet the computing needs of the task at hand.

The 8051 microcontroller has 4K bytes of on-chip RAM.

The 8951 microcontroller is a one-time-programmable (OTP) version of the 8051.

The 8051 microcontroller family was introduced by Philips.
