  • Motorola Chip Pic16f88 18 Pin
    mmike Joined: 04 Jun 2006 Posts: 553 Helped: 19 12 Aug 2006 11:11 Motorola chip pic16f88 18 pin The Intel 8051 was a Harvard architecture single chip microcontroller (ľC) developed by Intel in 1980 for use in embedded systems. It was extremely popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, but today it has largely been superseded by a vast range of enhanced devices with 8051-compatible processor cores that are manufactured by more than 20 independent manufacturers including Atmel, Maxim IC (via its Dallas Semiconductor subsidiary), Philips, Winbond, and Silicon Laboratories. Intel's official designation for the 8051 family of ľCs is MCS 51. Intel's original 8051 family was developed using NMOS technology, but later versions, identified by a letter "C" in their name, e.g. 80C51, used CMOS technology and were less power-hungry than their NMOS predecessors - this made them eminently more suitable for battery-powered devices. Important Features of 8051 : * It contains Processor (CPU), RAM, ROM, Serial Port , Parallel Port, Interrupt logic, Timer etc. * Data bus - 8 bit data bus. Can access 8 bit data in one operation. Hence called 8-bit microprocessor. * Address bus - 16 bit address bus. Can access 216 memory locations i.e 64 KB of memory each of RAM and ROM. * On chip RAM - 128 Bytes (Data Memory). * On chip ROM - 4 KB (Program Memory). * Four Byte bi-directional Input Output port. * UART (Serial Port). * Two 16 - bit Up-Counter. * Two level interrupt priority. * Power saving mode. A particularly useful feature of the 8051 core is the inclusion of a boolean processing engine which allows bit-level boolean logic operations to be carried out directly and efficiently on internal registers and RAM.
