The Home of Electronic Engineering and Embedded Systems Programming

The 8051 was one of the first microcontroller families, and remains one of the most commonly used. The devices are available from multiple sources, are cheap, have decent tools, and offer a nice upgrade path to larger and more capable parts.

The 8051 family was created by Intel, but is now largely driven by other companies, including Atmel, Dallas Semiconductor, and Philips. Devices in the family include the 8031, 8032, 8051, 8052, 80151, 80251, and XA series.
