Grenoble, France and Shanghai, China -- April 26, 2005-- Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC; NYSE: SMI and HKSE: 981) and Dolphin Integration SA have entered a partnership to ...

FPGAs enable everyone to be a chip designer. This installment shows how to design the bus interface for a generic peripheral chip. When designing with an embedded microprocessor, you always have to ...

The 8051 is an accumulator-based design with 255 instructions. A basic instruction cycle takes 12 clocks; however, Dallas Semiconductor redesigned the instruction-execution circuitry to reduce the ...

Boasting of a 50x performance gain over original 8051 microcontrollers and a six-fold gain over the next-fastest 8051s, the DS89C420 is said to be the first 8051-compatible controller to achieve peak ...

Crossware has been careful to take into account the huge legacy of 8051 based designs with its latest starter kit for Philips LPC210X ARM-based microcontrollers. A notable feature of the kit is that ...

The MCS 151 and 251 cores are binary-code-compatible with the 8051. (The 251 has additional instructions.) The 151 maintains the 80C51 accumulator-based core compatibility, and the 251 is a ...

Claiming a first, the EZ-USB FX2LP USB 2.0 microcontroller is now available with an industrial temperature range from -40°C to 105°C. The device (CY7C68013A) integrates an 8051 microprocessor, a ...
