You’d be amazed at how prevalent they are. I come across them at least a couple times a year when popping the lid off this thing or that. Generally older gear :). The most recent that comes to mind is a radio repeater.


At one point (maybe about 20 years ago), 'HC11, 'HC05 and 8051 variants made up the bulk of all microcontrollers in use.

I wonder what's replaced them. My vote is for Atmel Tiny/Mega, but I'm biased...
