Now the manufacturing end of the 8051-based product cycle is facilitated through universal, high-performance, stand-alone in-system programmers from SMH Technologies. These quickly and reliably load ...

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 ...

[Andrew] picked up a handful of these big STC 8051 chips for a song and dance. The problem he has with them is the clunky VB6 programming software that only wants to run on a Windows box. He ...

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 ...

The DS89C4x0 single-cycle 8051 processors come with flash memories up to 64 kbytes. They can be programmed by an application. The devices also include two full-duplex UARTs, 13 interrupt sources ...

To program these chips, [Aaron] first had to wire up the microcontroller into a circuit. This was just a bit of perf board, a resistor, a few caps, and a USB A plug.

The limited memory resources of 8-bit architectures like the popular 8051 are often seen as preventing programming them in C, but the right choices in the type and location of data can shrink C code ...

Taiwanese chip maker Nuvoton Technology has announced a 24MHz 8051-style series of MCUs for industrial automation, motor control, LED dimming and home appliances.
