A 50 to 70 MHz scope covers most microcontroller, power supply and automotive work. This group mixes cheap handheld scope-multimeters with 12-bit bench scopes from Rigol and Siglent, so read the sample rate and memory as well as the price. A scope needs about five samples per cycle of the signal to draw it faithfully.
