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.

CAST president Hal Barbour spoke during the IP-SoC Day, a series of talks organized by D&R at the 49th DAC in San Francisco.

IAR Systems today is announcing that support for the 8051 MCUs we offer is built into their latest release of the Embedded Workbench for 8051.

CAST announces a new member of the 32-bit BA2x Processor Family: The BA20 PipelineZero Embedded Processor.

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.

CAST held a successful 32-bit system design seminar over breakfast adjacent to DesignCon.

Silicon IP, or SIP, has become essential to the semiconductor supply chain and is the cornerstone for most complex nanometer SoC designs.

Designers describe their uses of 8051s as CAST introduces the fastest 8051 IP core available.

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating CAST’s twenty-fifth year in operation. We've been focused on reusable silicon intellectual property through this whole period, though the terminology and certainly the industry has changed over time: we...
