The venerable 8051 gets a leg up with the 20-MHz AT89LP family, which is pin-compatible with the AT89C family. The AT89LP has a wide operating voltage range of 2.0 to 5.5 V. Peripherals include a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter, an analog comparator,
The venerable 8051 gets a leg up with the 20-MHz AT89LP family, which is pin-compatible with the AT89C family. The AT89LP has a wide operating voltage range of 2.0 to 5.5 V. Peripherals include a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter, an analog comparator, pulse-width modulators, a programmable watchdog timer, and enhanced UART. They also have an internal RC oscillator. The chips are well suited for power management and motor control. They're available in 20-pin PDIP, TSSOP, and SOIC packages. Pricing for the AT89LP family starts at $0.85.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
