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 ...
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 ...
The 8051-based VRS51L3072 microcontroller from Ramtron offers 2 kbytes of F-RAM nonvolatile ferroelectric memory. F-RAM memory was added to the Versa 8051 family for a quick and reliable nonvolatile ...
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 ...
