Getting to Know the Last Five Years Trend on Microcontroller Research: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Abstract A microcontroller is a compressed microcomputer manufactured to control embedded systems in office machines, robots, home appliances, motor vehicles, and several other gadgets. This device has played significant and essential roles in daily human life. Unfortunately, an in-depth analysis related to microcontrollers has not been found. Hence, it is compulsory to conduct a comprehensive analysis to understand better the research themes and trends in a specific scientific scope. This study aims to determine the extent of the research development on microcontrollers carried out throughout 2017-2021 through bibliometric analysis. From the bibliometric analysis that has been performed, we can conclude that research on microcontrollers is dominated by sensors, algorithms, voltage, and power. On the other hand, research that shows the relationship between solar panels and microcontrollers is still lacking. With this finding, it is hoped that researchers will focus their research on potential topics that are rarely looked at.
