  2. Intel MCS-51 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_MCS-51

    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.

  3. Special function register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Function_Register

    Some SFR bits may be set directly using SETB/LDB instructions on the SFR's address, whereas others may require usage of specific instructions. The Intel 80196 class microcontroller has 24 SFRs, each 1 byte in size; standard Intel 8051 chips have 21 SFRs.

  4. Accumulator (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulator_(computing)

    Many 8-bit microcontrollers that are still popular as of 2014, such as the PICmicro and 8051, are accumulator-based machines. Modern CPUs are typically 2-operand or 3-operand machines. The additional operands specify which one of many general-purpose registers (also called "general-purpose accumulators" [ 1 ] ) are used as the source and ...

  5. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    A power-on reset (PoR, POR) generator is a microcontroller or microprocessor peripheral that generates a reset signal when power is applied to the device. It ensures that the device starts operating in a known state.

  6. Opcode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opcode

    Opcodes are employed in hardware devices such as arithmetic logic units (ALUs), central processing units (CPUs), and software instruction sets. In ALUs, the opcode is directly applied to circuitry via an input signal bus. In contrast, in CPUs, the opcode is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the operation to be performed.

  7. Logic gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_gate

    A logic gate is a device that performs a Boolean function, a logical operation performed on one or more binary inputs that produces a single binary output. Depending on the context, the term may refer to an ideal logic gate , one that has, for instance, zero rise time and unlimited fan-out , or it may refer to a non-ideal physical device [ 1 ...

  8. Instruction pipelining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_pipelining

    In computer engineering, instruction pipelining is a technique for implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. Pipelining attempts to keep every part of the processor busy with some instruction by dividing incoming instructions into a series of sequential steps (the eponymous "pipeline") performed by different processor units with different parts of instructions ...

  9. JTAG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTAG

    JTAG (named after the Joint Test Action Group which codified it) is an industry standard for verifying designs of and testing printed circuit boards after manufacture.. JTAG implements standards for on-chip instrumentation in electronic design automation (EDA) as a complementary tool to digital simulation. [1]
