The price of a microcontroller depends on many factors, including model, performance, functions, integrated peripherals and interfaces, etc. Generally speaking, the price of a microcontroller can range from a few cents to tens of dollars. The following are some common microcontroller price ranges:

1. Low-end microcontrollers : These microcontrollers are less expensive and are suitable for simple embedded applications and learning projects. Prices usually range from a few cents to a few dollars.

2. Mid-range microcontrollers : These microcontrollers have high performance and functions and are suitable for most embedded applications, including home appliances, industrial control, automation equipment, etc. The price is usually between a few dollars to tens of dollars.

3. High-end microcontrollers : These microcontrollers have powerful performance and integrate a wealth of peripherals and interfaces, suitable for demanding embedded applications such as medical equipment, automotive electronics, aerospace, etc. The price is usually between tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars.

In addition, the price of microcontrollers is also affected by factors such as market supply and demand, production batches, and supplier policies. For mass production projects, discounts or special customization services are usually available to reduce costs. Therefore, as an experienced electronic engineer, when choosing a microcontroller, you need to consider factors such as performance, cost, and project requirements.
