The major component of this circuit is Microchip’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, which is a pin-for-pin compatible with typical 8051 microcontroller devices. It has a built-in timer used to produce accurate ...
Microcontroller units (MCUs) are single-chip computers optimized for performing embedded computing tasks like controlling a ...
Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases a timer is needed to measure elapsed time; in others we want to count or time some external events. Here's a ...
In life and embedded systems timing is everything. Give [Frank’s] web-based timer calculator a try. Set your system clock resolution (in hertz making sure you account for any system clock divider), ...
After the electromechanical timer on [Paul Canello’s] washing machine broke for the third time he decided he needed to stop repairing it and find a more permanent fix. He decided to build his own ...
Most digital timers require a set of dip switches or rotary BCD encoders to preset their interval. But those techniques consume eight or more inputs from a microcontroller's (MCU's) I/O lines. To ...
Extending the company's FRAM-enhanced microcontroller offerings, the VRS51L3174 debuts as an 8051-based MCU with 8 KB of nonvolatile FRAM that drops into industry-standard 44-pin QFP sockets. Features ...
AUSTIN, Texas, August 23, 2005 – Silicon Laude (pronounced “laudee†) announces the availability of the world’s first, and only, radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant MCS8051 ...
