When it comes to displays, there is a gap between a traditional microcontroller and a Linux system-on-a-chip (SoC). The SoC that lives in a smartphone will always have enough RAM for a framebuffer and ...

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 ...

This post explains about the design, development and operation of the Celsius scale thermometer using LM35 and microcontroller AT89C51. The circuit works on the principle of analog to digital ...

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 ...

With a peak performance of 100 MIPS, the C8051F120 microcontroller (MCU) family claims to be the industry's highest performance devices to date. In addition to the 100-MIPS 8051 CPU, the devices ...
