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.

8051-compatible microcontroller has 4 Kbytes of program and 8 Kbytes of data flash memory; has 768 bytes of RAM, eight-channel 10-bit A/D converters, six capture and compare units, three timers, and ...

Extending the company's FRAM-enhanced microcontroller offerings, the VRS51L3174 debuts as an 8051-based MCU with 8 KB of nonvolatile FRAM that drops into industry-standard 44-pin QFP sockets. Features ...

In this paper the authors give a novel idea about the design and implementation of a microcontroller based pulse counter. Intel 8051 is used as the main microcontroller unit and the system has been ...

This 8051 IP core implements a range of fast, 8-bit, 8051-compatible microcontrollers that execute the MCS®51 instruction set. The R8051XC2 IP core ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...
