EdSim51 - 8051 Simulator

A virtual 8051 is interfaced with virtual peripherals such as a keypad, motor, display, UART, etc. The student can write 8051 assembly code, step through the code and observe the effects each line has on the internal memory and the external peripherals.

EdSim51 - 8051 Simulator

The student can learn how to scan a keypad, multiplex 7-segment displays, control a motor and count its revolutions, etc.

A Note from the Developer - Jjames Rogers - ."While lecturing in electronics at IT Sligo, I searched the Internet for an 8051 simulator suitable for teaching but to no avail. I therefore decided to develop my own simulator for the basic 8051 with virtual peripherals attached to the four ports."

"After about a year's working on the project, on and off, the result was the EdSim51 simulator. I then put together a set of notes that are now the Beginner's Guide to the 8051on this website."

The Virtual Peripherals:

• Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
• Comparator, UART
• 4 Multiplexed 7-segment Displays
• 4 X 3 Keypad and 8 LEDs
• DC Motor and 8 Switches
• Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC) - displayed on oscilloscope

SG2525 - SG3525 - PWM SMPS Regulator Chip

SG2525 - SG3525 - PWM SMPS Regulator Chip. A second generation ic switch mode controller optimized for high frequency.

SG3525 - Voltage Mode PWM

The SG3525A pulse width modulator control circuit offers improved performance and lower external parts count when implemented for controlling all types of switching power supplies. The on-chip +5.1 V reference is trimmed to +/-1% and the error amplifier has an input common-mode voltage range that includes the reference voltage, thus eliminating the need for external divider resistors. Half Bridge, Push-Pull.



Specs

• 8.0 V to 35 V Operation
• 5.1 V +/- 1.0% Trimmed Reference
• 100 Hz to 400 kHz Oscillator Range
• Separate Oscillator Sync Pin
• Adjustable Deadtime Control
• Input Undervoltage Lockout
• Latching PWM to Prevent Multiple Pulses
• Pulse-by-Pulse Shutdown
• Dual Source/Sink Outputs: +/- 400 mA Peak

100kHz Half Bridge Convertor - SG3525

This is a SMPS Circuit improved over the Application Note in the book SGS Motion Control Application Manual. This worked well. It helps you learn more about High Frequency Power Supply Design.

SG3525 usage in SMPS 500W - It was used in Parallel for Electroplating with a central Load sharing control between modules.

ICM7217 Presettable Up-Down Counter

The ICM7217 is a four digit, presettable up/down counter with an onboard presettable register continuously compared to the counter. The ICM7217 is intended for use in hard-wired applications where thumbwheel switches are used for loading data, and simple SPDT switches are used for chip control.

ICM7217 Presettable Up-Down Counter

This circuit provides multiplexed 7 segment LED display outputs, with common anode or common cathode configurations available. Digit and segment drivers are provided to directly drive displays of up to 0.8 inch character height (common anode) at a 25% duty cycle.

The frequency of the onboard multiplex oscillator may be controlled with a single capacitor, or the oscillator may be allowed to free run. Leading zeros can be blanked. The data appearing at the 7 segment and BCD outputs is latched; the content of the counter is transferred into the latches under external control by means of the Store pin.

Multiplexed Presettable Timer with ICM7217

• Four Decade, Presettable Up-Down Counter with Parallel Zero Detect
• Settable Register with Contents Continuously Compared to Counter
• Directly Drives Multiplexed 7 Segment Common Anode or Common Cathode LED Displays
• On-Board Multiplex Scan Oscillator
• Schmitt Trigger On Count Input
• TTL Compatible BCD I/O Port, Carry/Borrow, Equal, and Zero Outputs
• Display Blank Control for Lower Power Operation; Quiescent Power Dissipation <5mW
• All Terminals Fully Protected Against Static Discharge
• Single 5V Supply Operation

Three Point Preset Counter

delabs Notes-

This is another Intersil Masterpiece in days when using uP was complex and uC was not available.A 8085 could be used but with many supporting chips and it consumed power. This was a CMOS innovation low on power and just one ASIC had the fexibility for many digital operations.A ThumbWheel and Display Interface completed a Gadget.
