Selection of MCU in Mechatronics: Checklist & Considerations
Mechatronics is the integration of mechanics, electronics, and information processing. Microcontrollers play a crucial role in creating mechatronic systems. This guide covers the selection of microcontrollers based on factors such as bit size, ALU, power dissipation, clock speed, memory architecture, cost, and more. It also includes additional checklists for hardware and software considerations, integration ease, and team expertise. Understand the internal structure of microcontrollers, their need for external memory, and the impact of CMOS technology. Explore the historical Harvard vs. Princeton architecture choices that shaped modern computer design.

MCU Microcontroller Unit 2 Md. Atiqur Rahman Ahad
Mechatronics ~ area of mechanical and electrical engineering having integration of mechanics with electronics & information processing. The integration between hardware & software results an integrated system called mechatronic system. Microcontroller plays a major role in mechatronics
Selection of MCU Checklist 8/16/32 bit ALU Max. power dissipation Clock speed needed Instructions set RISC/CISC
Selection of MCU Checklist Memory architecture Memory size Cache, memory management unit, DSP calculations Internal PROM/ I/O ports Cost
Selection of MCU Additional checklists Cost when single chip and when MCU interfaces to circuit with some features Major building blocks of hardware cost and availability Major building blocks of software cost and availability Ease of integration Design team expertise Manpower
At times, a microcontroller can have external memory also (if there is no internal memory or extra memory interface is required). Most modern microcontrollers are manufactured with CMOS technology, which leads to reduction in size and power loss.
Harvard vs. Princeton Architecture In the late 1940's, the US Government asked Harvard and Princeton universities to come up with a computer architecture to be used in defense apps. Princeton suggested computer architecture with a single memory interface. Princeton architecture was accepted for simplicity and ease of implementation
Harvard suggested a computer with two different memory interfaces, one for the data / variables and the other for program / instructions. Harvard architecture became popular later, due to the parallelism of instruction execution.
Von Neumann architecture? Von Neumann architecture after the name of the chief scientist of the project in Princeton University John Von Neumann (1903 - 1957 Born in Budapest, Hungary). How to remember? PN [junction!] Princeton Neumann
