8051 is known for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of use in small-scale control systems.
It staples in certain industries and ease of integration into basic embedded tasks. The 8051 is ideal for low to medium complexity applications that don't require high computational power but need real-time control and reliability.
The 8051 can process 8 bits of data in one cycle, and uses Harvard architecture, meaning it has separate memory spaces for program code (ROM) and data (RAM). This allows it to fetch instructions and data simultaneously, improving processing speed.
Semiconductors such as, Texas Instruments, Microchip, NXP, Nuvoton and STMicroelectronics using 8051.
