“The 8051 is still a real workhorse in the world of embedded controllers. We've had customers use them for everything from washing machines to space probes." Hal Barbour, CAST president
The venerable 8051 8-bit processor still has a role in today's advanced systems. With hundreds of successful 8051 customers, CAST knows how to deliver 8051 IP that will work well for you. The full-featured R8051XC2 is the fastest available 8-bit 8051. It's easy to configure for a wide range of needs, and achieves a compact, energy-efficient implementation. The T8051 is optimized for area, yielding a tiny yet still fast processor that can fit in nearly any FPGA or ASIC system. 68000-compatible processor cores are also still popular. We offer two: the 16/32-bit C68000 , and the 32-bit MBA-compatible C68000-AHB . The C32025TX is a 16-bit digital signal processor. Additional CASTcores are designed for processor chip replacement applications: C80186XL , and the Z80-compatible CZ80CPU .
