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 ...

Atmel Corp. has announced the addition of three ROM devices to its family of standard 8051-based USB microcontrollers. Complementing the available Flash versions, the new devices are especially suited ...

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.

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.

Many will tell you that 8-bit microcontrollers are dead. Not so. Silicon Labs' latest 8051-based EFM8 microcontrollers highlights why that is not the case. The EFM8 “Bee” series is divided into three ...

Let’s say you’re working on a project, and you need a microcontroller. Which chip do you reach for? Probably the one you’re most familiar with, or at least the one whose programmer is hiding away in a ...

Microcontrollers continue to improve their networking capabilities. CMX's DHCP Client, one of these improvements, eliminates the need to use fixed IP addresses on a range of 8- and 16-bit ...

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 ...
