This is an era of SOC (SystemonChip) based comput ing. Embedded systems play significant role in representing computing power in the smallest possible device that too in the most liberal way. Microcontroller is represented as a major embedded system product and is responsible to carry computing power on anytime anywhere basis. The modern PC or PCbased industri al applications use many small microcontroller circuits in keyboards, printers, modems, disk controller, sound card, CDR OM drive, mouse, barcode reader (printing industries), power drill machines (automobile industries), SCADA system (process industries), fire alarm system (security and safety engineering) and smart cards (banking industry) to name a few. Microcontroller makes it possible to empower the simplest application and the product with computing intelligence at an affordable cost. The selection of the microcontroller is based on the facts, such as, availability of software development aids, market trend and design expertise, power consumption and computing speed, instruction set and on chip memory, prototype size and design, I/O and timer availability, possibilities of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) based implementation and upward compatibility. This paper deals with detailed comparative study of the features of the recent 8bit microcontrollers available till De cember 2010 from leading manufacturers and the timing simulation analysis of some useful microcontrollers. The outcome of the comparative study and timing simulation analysis is presented in terms of recommendations readily available to the designers and first generation entrepreneurs to encourage low power and low cost designs, particularity for precision agriculture and WSN based applications. In the developing countries, such as in India, electronics hardware production increased from Rs. 50,500 crore in 200405 to Rs. 97,260 crore in 200809, with a c umulative annual growth rate of 17.3%. The production of electronics hardware in India has grown from Rs. 97,260 crore in 200809 to Rs. 109,940 crore in 200910, registering a growth of 13%, slightly low due to global slowdown (10). The control, instrumentation and industrial sector of electronics industry use critical hardware technologies and systems with builtin software. Low cost and low power microcontroller based system design can play a significant role to increase employability and the export in this sector, particularly, in the developing country.
