Editor's Note: View the Fundamentals of Microcontrollers to catch up on the architectural differences, selection, set up and programming of today's micros. To work through the thicket of choices, it's ...

Despite being 40 years old, 8051 microcontrollers can still serve useful roles in modern systems. But integrating 8051s in today's systems with their de facto standard AMBA® buses, wider datapaths, ...

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.

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 ...

Editor's Note: Take the Fundamentals of Microcontrollers course to get up to speed quickly on the architectural variations, selection and programming of today's microcontrollers. For a system designer ...
