Microcontroller units (MCUs) are single-chip computers optimized for performing embedded computing tasks like controlling a ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

The intel 8051 series 8bit microcontroller, originally introduced in 1980, remains popular and has had perhaps the longest product life of all such devices. It has become the industry standard for ...

In this paper the authors give a novel idea about the design and implementation of a microcontroller based pulse counter. Intel 8051 is used as the main microcontroller unit and the system has been ...

One of the nicest amenities of interpreted programming languages is that you can test out the code that you’re developing in a shell, one line at a time, and see the results instantly. No matter how ...

Electronic Design's own Lou Frenzel is updating one of his textbooks—and is soliciting advice from readers on microcontroller content to include. I am in the process of updating my book "Electronics ...

Electronic Control Units of safety critical systems require constant monitoring of the hardware to be able to bring the system to a safe state if any hardware defects or malfunctions are detected.

Here we designed a simple non contact tachometer using microcontroller which can measure speed with an accuracy of 1 rev/sec. Here we design a simple non-contact tachometer using microcontroller, ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...
