The STM32 MCU tends to be more popular than the PIC32 for 32 bit MCU’s, but is it really better, and more importantly: when should you pick one over the other?

If you’re in a hurry, here’s a little video with the highlights, however, if you really want to know the details then is better to continue reading

STM32 vs PIC32, Which is Best for Manufacturing?

The PIC (Programmable Intelligent Computers, by Microchip) and STM (by ST Microelectronics) microcontroller product lines have ranked among the top MCU’s on the market for more than a decade.

Both manufacturers offer high-quality, highly diverse microcontrollers that can support an enormous number of embedded applications, from IoT to Industrial to high quantity consumer applications.

This post will do an STM32 comparison with the PIC 32 product line across different points and give you the key factors to think about when selecting the right 32 bit MCU for your design.
