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 ...

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.

Silicon Labs has developed an 8051 microcontroller with integrated DC-DC converter that runs at full speed at down to 0.9V so will run from a single cell battery. The part is aimed at portable ...

Equipped with a single-cycle, 8051 RISC processor, the VERSA MIX VMX1020 microcontroller is said to deliver an average of eight times more processing power than a standard 8051 MCU. The device ...

Although 8051-compatible microcontrollers with SPI ports are available, a lower-cost device with an SPI port bit-banged through GPIO pins often suffices. The code shown here takes advantage of ...

There was a time when microprocessors were slow and expensive devices that needed piles of support chips to run, so engineers came up with ingenious tricks using extra hardware preprocessing inputs to ...

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 ...

It's not too long ago since the 'go to' microcontroller for electronics designers was a humble 8bit device, often featuring the 8051 core. But times are changing, as 32bit MCUs become the device of ...
