Some people think that programs for microcontrollers like the 8051 that have limited program memory must be written in assembly language rather than a high-level language like C. The executable code ...
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 ...
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 ...
[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 buckled ...
Nantes, France &#151 Atmel Corp.'s new AT89LP family of 8-bit microcontrollers is based on a single-cycle 8051 core which the company says is twelve times faster than the standard 8051 core. These new ...
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 ...
Chipcon's CC2430 combines a 32-MHz 8051 microcontroller with an 802.15.4 transceiver. The combination can handle Chipcon's ZigBee stack. The chip is available in 32-, 64-, and 128-kbyte flash memory ...
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 ...
