I've used 8-bit microcontrollers before. Specifically, I'm familiar with the PIC 18F family from Microchip. Aside from being cheap and coming with a programmer as part of the package, why should I learn the STM8S family of processors? What are the compelling features of the development package and the microcontrollers?

The STM8S is covering a larger range of application 4K to 128K, 20pins to 80 pins. The performance is far better at 16MHZ. even @ 40MHz, the PIC is not reaching the performance. No mention of the noise emission of the PIC at that speed. You have checked the datasheet of the STM8S? Internal RC 2%, real non intrusive debug module, I²C, SPI and USART are always available. The memory is linear, (no paging) even the 128K has no paging. Regarding price, there is no comparison. the STM8S is far cheaper. |
