A microcontroller is quite simply a computer and its interface on a chip. The chip performance has dramatically improved, while the cost has continued to drop. This makes it preferable to use one of these micro computers in virtually every digital design.

The most used microcontroller is the core architecture built around the Intel 8051 family. Many other manufacturers have added features and enhancements to make this the processor of choice in over half of all microcontroller designs. It is used in everything from telephones and computer keyboards to microwaves, automobiles, and television remotes. 

For that reason, our design team has focused our efforts to provide the best in software and hardware support to the 8051 family.

These pages provide a host of valuable information including excerpts from one of our books, Systems Design and the 8051.

Other information includes a general applications board design and numerous applications programs. This working code can be readily adapted to real world projects for industrial clients, university students, and the hobbyist tinkerer.
