Mouser and Microchip have collaborated to produce an eBook called "The Mighty 8-Bit Microcontroller," which highlights the value propositions and use cases for 8-bit MCUs.

In automotive applications, 8-bit MCUs are often preferred in vehicle subsystems due to their simplicity and efficiency, which help keep the design compact. Microchip offers solutions, such as select AVR EA MCUs, specifically tailored to automotive applications and compliant with automotive standards.

Industrial designers can also benefit from the streamlined solution offered by 8-bit MCUs, as they provide only the necessary features for the job at hand, eliminating unnecessary overhead.

The compact design of 8-bit MCUs enables industrial designers to deploy a module-based architecture while keeping costs and system complexity to a minimum. Microchip offers 8-bit MCUs, including select AVR DD MCUs, designed to withstand harsh industrial environments.

In the medical field, wearable devices and health trackers require sensors for monitoring biometrics, MCUs for interpreting and communicating sensor data, and wireless communication hardware for transmitting data. Additionally, these devices are often portable and battery-powered, making power consumption a crucial concern. In these Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) applications, 8-bit MCUs offer a unique combination of performance and power efficiency.

Consumer electronics prioritize product size and affordability. For this reason, 8-bit MCUs like the PIC16F18x series are often the ideal choice due to their simpler design and small package size. Battery life is another primary consideration in the consumer electronics industry, as many devices are portable and battery-powered. 8-bit MCUs such as the PIC16F171 series offer extremely low power operation without sacrificing performance or functionality.
