The answer is pretty obvious when you're looking at three chips (CPU, XRAM, EPROM), and it's even obvious why the same architecture is maintained within a single chip when you know how it got there. ....it doesn't seem unreasonable that someone learning the 8052 should have some idea of the legacy devices and where it all came from. Its one thing to appreciate history, its quite another to have to re-enact it ! It seems to me it would let the users better appreciate the parts available today and at the same time understand how the architecutre got to where it did. Steve |
