8051 x PIC

Hi,

I am determining the microcontroller for a project I would like to know the differences between a PIC microcontroller and a 8051 ( e.g. at89s8252) based microcontroller. It seems that both have similar features.

Thanks a lot,

Andre

  • For some applications the '51 is the right choice, for others the PIC is. It is not that one is "better" than the other, both have their place. In general, the '51 is more powerful, has more derivatives and cost a tad more (a tad for the small, LPC devices, more than a tad for the more powerful ones)
