The R80251XC Tops the Evatronix 8051 IP Core Product Line with the All New 32-bit CPU Performance Bielsko-Biala/Poland, May 24th, 2010 - The silicon intellectual property (IP) provider, Evatronix SA, ...

Microcontrollers based on the 8051 architecture are still popular and are offered in many models. Recently, for instance, Silicon Labs released the energy-friendly EMF8 microcontroller for IoT devices ...

"The typical microcontroller programmer uses slow serial methods to program and verify these devices, causing a bottleneck in production," said Kelly Hirsch, Chief Technologist at Data I/O.

Atmel's single cycle core architecture executes each byte fetch in a single clock cycle resulting in 70% of all instructions being executed in a single clock cycle.
