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.

Californian start-up MicroCore Labs has announced an 8051 soft processor core, four of which will fit into 1227 LUTs on a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. The core is called MCL51. “Because it is based on a ...

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 ...

At the introduction of the 12,000 gate 32bit ARM Cortex M0 recently, an ARM spokesman told EW the M0 was close to the 10,000 gates normally occupied by the 8bit 8051 microcontroller. Inspired by this, ...

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 ...

The MSC1200Yx, MSC1201Yx, and MSC1202Yx are completely integrated families of mixed-signal devices incorporating a high-resolution, delta-sigma ADC, 8-bit current output DAC, input multiplexer, ...
