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 ...

Emulating older computers on microcontrollers has been a staple of retrocomputing for many years now, with most 8-bit and ...

8-bit 8051-based µC has an 8-bit A/D converter, 14-segment LCD driver, 8-Kbyte flash memory, and 256 Mbytes of RAM; includes one channel each of SPWM and PWM, up to 36 I/Os, and three 16-bit timers; ...

Targeting applications ranging from weigh scales to industrial process control, Texas Instruments' Burr-Brown Division has developed a highly integrated data acquisition system (DAS). It merges a ...

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.

Fig 1. Core memory used to be ubiquitous. Fig 2. Texas Instruments’ 16-bit MSP430FR57xx looks like most microcontrollers except it only has one memory block. Magnetic memory such as core memory used ...

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 ...
