Dirt cheap hardware is available for developing 8051 microcontroller applications. Such is well suited for students and budget-limited experimenters alike. This minimum system development board kit is ...

A while back, [Matt] bought a few 8051 MCUs and tucked them away for a future project. He just found these fabulous little chips in a component drawer and decided it was time to figure these guys out.

In many instances, the way embedded software is structured and how itinteracts with the hardware in a system can have a profound effect onthe transient immunity performance of a system. It can be ...
