Atmega or PIC

Mr.G · 2009-02-26T07:18:09+00:00

HiI'm looking for a micro costing about $1-2 1000up pricing.At least 13 I/O, of which 2 must be PWM capable, and it'd be nice to have I2C on a pair too.External interrupt on one input and operate from 3-5V.Flash based (guess about 2k), EEPROM, and with some form of ISP. Dev tools only need assembler support.Speed not really an issue, 1 mips is fine.So, use an Atmel ATMEGA8 or one of the PICs (but which one)?What's the best choice from Microchip comparable with the ATMEGA?Ta.

ARMs are certainly looking like the PICs or perhaps 8031s of 32-bit microcontrollers, but I think there are some other reasonably compelling alternatives too -- Atmel's AVR32 comes to mind...
