The C8051 microcontroller is ideal for processing 8-bit data that comes from port I/O or sensors inputs. A great many applications don’t require complex mathematics processing, and benefit significantly from the code density advantages of an 8-bit processor when not tasked with 16-bit or 32-bit mathematics. Human interface functions, sensor interface, and distributed processing functions are examples that easily benefit from the simplicity of the C8051 solutions.
