Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the results of Alpha Single Event Upset (SEU) tests on an embedded 8051 microprocessor core implemented using three different standard cell libraries. Each ...

These are major producers of microcontrollers and/or microprocessors where we provide a more detailed description of their entire product lines. Companies are listed in no particular order.

Abstract: We examine the energy savings possible by re-mapping critical software loops from a microprocessor to configurable logic appearing on the same-chip in commodity chips now commercially ...

Nuvoton MG51 Series is a new family of 8-bit 8051 microcontrollers clocked at up to 24 MHz with up to 64KB flash, 4KB SRAM, 5V operation, industrial temperature range, and a range of peripherals such ...

The 8051 is an accumulator-based design with 255 instructions. A basic instruction cycle takes 12 clocks; however, Dallas Semiconductor redesigned the instruction-execution circuitry to reduce the ...

The MCS 151 and 251 cores are binary-code-compatible with the 8051. (The 251 has additional instructions.) The 151 maintains the 80C51 accumulator-based core compatibility, and the 251 is a ...

When it comes to PCs, things are ever-evolving. Newer, better technologies are rendering certain components redundant. This also leads to confusion, especially when it comes to CPUs and ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

I have been an above-knee amputee for over 50 years. For the first 30 years, my prosthesis was balsa wood with a simple mechanical knee. I fell a lot, could only walk at one fixed speed, would sweat ...
