Embedded Programming

by Michael Dsouza

The 8051 Family is one of the fasted growing microcontroller architectures in the world of electronics today. Intel Corporation introduced 8051 more than two decades ago; it is as popular today as it was then. Several chip vendors have extended 8051 to incorporate advanced features, numerous additional peripherals and extra memory, and have implemented mixed-signal capabilities. There are over 400 device variants of 8051 from various silicon vendors like Silicon Laboratories, Philips, Amtel, Dallas and Infineon to name a few. 8051 and its variants are immensely popular in the academic world too, just as they are in the arena of industrial applications. Embedded micro-controllers have found their way into many everyday appliances like the microwave oven, dish-washer and the fax machine. It is found even in toys! Of course microprocessors and microcontrollers have been the workhorses of embedded industrial applications for many years. It is for these reasons that teaching of microcontrollers is integral to any degree or diploma course in Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics and Information Science.
