8051 Development Board

The 8051 Development board is specifically designed to help students to master the required skills in the area of embedded systems. The kit is designed in such way that all the possible features of the microcontroller will be easily used by the students. The kit supports in system programming (ISP) which is done through serial port.

NXP’s 8051 (AT89V51RD2), 8051 Development Kit is proposed to smooth the progress of developing and debugging of various designs encompassing of speed 8-bit Microcontrollers.

DAC (Digital to Analog Converter):

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP492X are 2.7 – 5.5V, low-power, low DNL, 12-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) with optional 2x buffered output and SPI interface.

Features

☞12-Bit Resolution

☞±0.2 LSB DNL (typ), ±2 LSB INL (typ)

☞Single or Dual Channel

☞SPI™ Interface with 20 MHz Clock Support

☞Simultaneous Latching of the Dual DACs w/LDAC

☞Fast Settling Time of 4.5 μs

☞Selectable Unity or 2x Gain Output

☞450 kHz Multiplier Mode

☞External VREF Input

☞Extended Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C

Source Code

The Interfacing SPI ADC with 8051 program is very simple and straight forward, that uses a delay procedure loop based software delay. In C programs you cannot be sure of delay, because it depends on compiler how it optimizes the loops as soon as you make changes in the options the delay changes.
