One of the fun things about “old school” computers is that it was fairly easy to get kids into programming them. The old Basic interpreters were pretty forgiving, and you could do some clever things ...

Microcontroller units (MCUs) are single-chip computers optimized for performing embedded computing tasks like controlling a ...

Imagine you’re stuck on a desert island, hundreds of miles away from the nearest person, and you finally have time to finish that project you’re working on. You have a single microcontroller, but ...

FlashRunner™ In-System Programmer (ISP) line from SMH Technologies supports 8051s from CAST; Live 8051 programming demo running in CAST’s DAC booth Woodcliff Lake, NJ, USA and Villotta di Chions, ...

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 ...

Here, we explain about how to interface 16×2 LCD module to AT89C51 which is a 8051 family microcontroller and also we provide the code in C language which is working fine without any errors. Here, we ...

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ USA — May 25, 2018 — Semiconductor intellectual property provider CAST, Inc. has seen a significant upswing in licenses for the venerable 8051 microcontroller, as today’s designers ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

Adding to the SuperFlash-based FlashFlex family of eight-bit, 8051-compatible microcontrollers, the SST89V54RD-33-C-QIF is available in a 6 mm x 6 mm x 0.8 mm WQFN package standing 0.7 mm in height, ...

Boasting of a 50x performance gain over original 8051 microcontrollers and a six-fold gain over the next-fastest 8051s, the DS89C420 is said to be the first 8051-compatible controller to achieve peak ...
