PC users with long memories will recall the days when the one-megabyte barrier was a significant problem, and the various tricks of extended and expanded memory used to mitigate it. One of them was to ...

AUSTIN, Texas, August 23, 2005 – Silicon Laude (pronounced “laudee†) announces the availability of the world’s first, and only, radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant MCS8051 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
