#91382 - When did AMD last make an 8051?! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Everyone here talks about the 8051 "bible." I keep a copy of AMD's "Eight-Bit 80C51 Embedded Processors" databook in my desk because it's quite compact compared to the Intel ones. It appears to be printed on the same crappy newsprint type stuff though. Anyway you may be surprised to hear that it's dated 1990 on the front (copyrighted 1989 on the inside). To me that sounds pretty recent, but I'm sure the youngest members of the forum would disagree.
...What I really miss though, are those great little programming pocket-sized cards/books. I have a bunch for almost every Motorola 8-bitter as well as the 68k, an x86 one, a z80 one, a PIC one and even a C-language one. But no 8051 :-( They would be so cool for the LPCs. C'mon Philips (hey Bill H. you still there?)... GB |
