The Intel 8051 series of 8-bit microcontrollers is long-discontinued by its original manufacturer, but lives on as a core included in all manner of more recent chips. It’s easy to understand and ...

Chinese scientists have developed the world’s most complex two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor microprocessor, with the chip set to enter pilot-scale production. Details of the chip, which is less than ...

A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component. Their ...

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 ...
