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 ...
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, ...
As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of the ...
With a peak performance of 100 MIPS, the C8051F120 microcontroller (MCU) family claims to be the industry's highest performance devices to date. In addition to the 100-MIPS 8051 CPU, the devices ...
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 ...
Woodcliff Lake, NJ, January 28, 2014 -- An 8051-compatible microcontroller core with 26.85 times the performance per MHz of the original 8051 chip is now available from semiconductor intellectual ...
