There are many 8-bit microcontrollers in the market. In this homework/ report, search the web and find four microcontrollers.
- For each microcontroller, show a meaningful block diagram and a brief description of its architecture.
- Summarize the key architectural features of these microcontrollers that you, as a designer, view important.
- Suppose you are in charge of recommending one of these four microcontrollers for packet processing applications. Informally speaking, these are applications in which a large stream of data packets with a uniform format (i.e. header fields, payload and trailer fields) are received, manipulated and resent. Justify your choice of recommendation.
