The document compares key differences between 4 popular microcontroller families: 8051, PIC, AVR, and ARM. It outlines their bus width, communication protocols, speed, memory types, instruction set architectures (ISAs), memory architectures, power consumption, common families/variants, manufacturer support and cost compared to features. The 8051 is 8-bit, PIC can be 8/16/32-bit, AVR is 8/32-bit, and ARM is mostly 32-bit. Communication protocols, speed, and power consumption are similar across families while memory types and architectures vary.
