This is a truly hands-on approach to learning. [Kevin Darrah] ditched the microcontroller and is using push buttons to learn about 595 shift registers. The test rig uses two of the serial-in, parallel ...

8-bit 8051-based µC has an 8-bit A/D converter, 14-segment LCD driver, 8-Kbyte flash memory, and 256 Mbytes of RAM; includes one channel each of SPWM and PWM, up to 36 I/Os, and three 16-bit timers; ...

We could all use a new hobby in 2021, especially after tiring of our old ones over the past year. If you're hoping to expand your interests and happen to have some free time on your hands at home due ...

If you would like to learn more about the Internet of Things, and creating electronic devices you may be interested in a new micro controller called the Tinusaur, which has been created and is based ...

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, January 28, 2014 -- An 8051-compatible microcontroller core with 26.85 times the performance per MHz of the original 8051 chip is now available from semiconductor intellectual ...

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 ...

Silicon Labs' 8051-based EFM8 microcontrollers continue to deliver compact, low power solutions for a range of markets including IoT applications. Many will tell you that 8-bit microcontrollers are ...
