Abstract: The evolution of microcontroller architectures has played a pivotal role in the advancement of embedded systems and IoT technologies. These architectures have transformed from basic controllers to sophisticated platforms capable of meeting the demands for enhanced security, performance, and energy efficiency. Modern microcontrollers integrate features such as secure boot, lightweight cryptographic modules, and hardware segmentation to address IoT security challenges. Virtualization and isolation techniques, including lightweight containers and hypervisors, have set benchmarks for secure and efficient execution in constrained environments. Additionally, the development of microcontroller families like ARM Cortex, PIC, AVR, and MSP430 has streamlined scalability, standardization, and application-specific performance. These advancements continue to drive innovation, ensuring microcontrollers remain critical to the future of IoT ecosystems.

Keywords: Microcontroller Architectures, IoT Technologies, Virtualization and Isolation, Embedded Systems, Security and Performance
