The Intel MCS-51 (commonly termed 8051) is a single-chip microcontroller (MCU) series developed by Intel in 1980 for use in embedded systems.The architect of the Intel MCS-51 instruction set was John H. Wharton.
An AT89c2051 microcontroller in circuit. The Atmel AT89 series is an Intel 8051-compatible family of 8 bit microcontrollers (μCs) manufactured by the Atmel Corporation.. Based on the Intel 8051 core, the AT89 series remains very popular as general purpose microcontrollers, due to their industry standard instruction set, their low unit cost, and the availability of these chips in DIL (DIP ...
Among the first of the AVR line was the AT90S8515, which in a 40-pin DIP package has the same pinout as an 8051 microcontroller, including the external multiplexed address and data bus. The polarity of the RESET line was opposite (8051's having an active-high RESET, while the AVR has an active-low RESET), but other than that the pinout was ...
In this diagram, one byte is sent, consisting of a start bit, followed by eight data bits (D1-8), and two stop bits, for a 11-bit UART frame. The number of data and formatting bits, the presence or absence of a parity bit, the form of parity (even or odd) and the transmission speed must be pre-agreed by the communicating parties.
While Arm is a fabless semiconductor company (it does not manufacture or sell its own chips), it licenses the ARM architecture family design to a variety of companies. Those companies in turn sell billions of ARM-based chips per year—12 billion ARM-based chips shipped in 2014, [1] about 24 billion ARM-based chips shipped in 2020, [2] some of those are popular chips in their own right.
TWI: Many of Atmels microcontrollers contain built-in support for interfacing to a two-wire bus, called Two-Wire Interface. This is essentially the same thing as the I²C interface by Philips, but that term is avoided in Atmel's documentation due to trademark issues. USI: Universal Serial Interface (not to be confused with USB). The USI is a ...
A special function register (SFR) is a register within a microcontroller that controls or monitors various aspects of the microcontroller's function. Depending on the processor architecture, this can include, but is not limited to: I/O and peripheral control (such as serial ports or general-purpose IOs) timers; stack pointer
A simple PoR uses the charging of a capacitor, in series with a resistor, to measure a time period during which the rest of the circuit is held in a reset state. A Schmitt trigger may be used to deassert the reset signal cleanly, once the rising voltage of the RC network passes the threshold voltage of the Schmitt trigger. The resistor and ...
