Most of us are familiar with the Arduino Uno, a starting place for electronics projects since 2010. But what if the Arduino Uno was released in 1980? You’d probably get something like [ElectroBoy]’s ...
The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980. They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which is ...
With the rise of Internet of things, sensors controlled by embedded processors are being installed in homes, offices, factories, and metropolitan infrastructure, power grids, and just about everything ...
Suppose for a moment that you're an engineer designing a new 8051-based product. Not unexpectedly, the application's code size will greatly exceed the 64KB architectural limit of the 8051's program ...
Who could have thought that the world of the 8051 microcontroller could be so exciting? Today, there were two independent press releases that I saw with news about this ancient piece of technology.
The latest improvements to this industry standard guarantee the fastest average instruction execution in the 8051 market. Gliwice & Bielsko-Biala, Poland -- January 26, 2009 - The Silicon Intellectual ...
The intel 8051 series 8bit microcontroller, originally introduced in 1980, remains popular and has had perhaps the longest product life of all such devices. It has become the industry standard for ...
The 8051-compatible microcontrollers are equipped with up to two inputs that may be used as general-purpose interrupts. A simple way to increase the number of interrupt inputs is shown in the figure.
This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.
