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 ...

The Intel 8051 series of 8-bit microcontrollers is long-discontinued by its original manufacturer, but lives on as a core included in all manner of more recent chips. It’s easy to understand and ...

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.

At the introduction of the 12,000 gate 32bit ARM Cortex M0 recently, an ARM spokesman told EW the M0 was close to the 10,000 gates normally occupied by the 8bit 8051 microcontroller. Inspired by this, ...

A while back, [Matt] bought a few 8051 MCUs and tucked them away for a future project. He just found these fabulous little chips in a component drawer and decided it was time to figure these guys out.

Californian start-up MicroCore Labs has announced an 8051 soft processor core, four of which will fit into 1227 LUTs on a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. The core is called MCL51. “Because it is based on a ...

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 ...

Generally speaking, it has to be said that I tend not to be too excited to hear news about “design wins.” I know that they are important to the companies involved, of course, but I’m more interested ...
