This is a '''list of common''' [[microcontroller]]s''' listed by brand.

==Altera==

In 2015, [[Altera]] was acquired by [[Intel]], and then spun back out on its own in 2024.

* [[Nios II]] [[32-bit computing|32-bit]] configurable [[soft microprocessor]]

== ARM ==

While [[Arm (company)|Arm]] is a fabless semiconductor company (it does not manufacture or sell its own chips), it licenses the [[ARM architecture family]] design to a variety of companies.

Those companies in turn sell billions of ARM-based chips per year—12 billion ARM-based chips shipped in 2014,<ref>

==Silicon Laboratories==

Manufactures a line of 8-bit 8051-compatible microcontrollers, notable for high speeds (50–100&nbsp;MIPS) and large memories in relatively small package sizes. A free IDE is available that supports the [[universal serial bus|USB]]-connected ToolStick line of modular prototyping boards. These microcontrollers were originally developed by Cygnal. In 2012, the company introduced ARM-based mixed-signal MCUs with very low power and USB options, supported by free Eclipse-based tools. The company acquired Energy Micro in 2013 and now offers a number of ARM-based 32-bit microcontrollers.
