The CAST team's experience at Embedded World 2023 was quite successful, including winning a Best in Show award for the EMSA5-FS RISC-V Functional Safety Proeceeor IP core.
8051 microcontrollers still offer an efficient and effective alternative to 32-bit processors in products ranging from USB thumb drives to washing machines to complex wireless-communication SOCs.
System integrators and product designers can jump ahead of their competition by selecting high-quality, easy-to-reuse IP cores from reliable vendors with a track record of good support.
Despite being 40 years old, 8051 microcontrollers can still serve useful roles in modern systems. But integrating 8051s in today's systems with their de facto standard AMBA® buses, wider datapaths, and shared memories can seem impossible. Yet it can...
