While other suppliers have exited this market, we're committed to extending our roadmap for our proven 8051 MCUs. Whether you're working on legacy, existing or new designs, you’ll get the latest in features and functionality from more than 50 part numbers providing Flash memory ranging from 2KB to 128KB.
Choose pin-to-pin compatible members from our 8051 portfolio to replace end-of-life competitive devices. From 8-bit MCUs based on the low-power single-cycle AT89LP core to MCS-51® industry-standard socket drop-in devices and small-footprint 14/16/20/28-pin derivatives, our devices all feature advanced Flash technologies. Most devices include in-system programming (ISP) for additional usage flexibility. Other options include digital signal processing (DSP) extensions, advanced timer/pulse-width modulation (PWM) peripherals, and CAN and USB interfaces.
Our popular AT89LP family delivers the latest in 8051 technology. Its members provide binary-code level compatibility for 80C51-based applications, along with pin-to-pin compatibility to competitive devices (direct replacements and non-direct replacements). The AT89LP devices dramatically boost performance by a factor of 6 to 12 times—up to 30MIPS. Along with modern features and peripherals, you also get low power consumption for your low-voltage and battery-powered applications. To speed development, download the AT89LP Developer Studio IDE tool, as well as related documentation and software.

Atmel offers a variety of high performance Flash 8051 microcontrollers featuring in-system programming (ISP). Their integrated Flash memory can be programmed either in parallel mode or in serial mode with the appropriate parallel/ISP software, respectively.
They feature a wide range of internal RAM configurations, plus rich features such as interrupt controllers and timer/counters. Select models feature an A/D converter, Boot Flash memory, and Programmable Counter Arrays. Their highly efficient design can help reduce system power consumption by bringing the clock frequency down to any value — even DC — without loss of data.
Software-selectable modes of reduced activity and an 8 bit clock prescaler can further control power consumption.
The rich functionality and efficiency of Atmel 8051 Flash ISP microcontrollers make them ideal for applications that need A/D conversion, pulse width modulation, high speed I/O and counting capabilities such as industrial control, consumer goods, alarms, motor control, and more.

The Atmel® AT89LP family takes 8051 microcontroller power to a new level. These high performance 8-bit microcontrollers execute most instructions in a single clock cycle, compared to 12 clock cycles in the classic 8051 CPU. At the same MIPS throughput as the classic 8051, existing applications can use a much lower clock frequency, enabling power consumption reduction by up to 80 percent. Application performance can be boosted up to 20 MIPS throughput — 12 times faster than the traditional 8051 core.

Introduced in 1986, Controller Area Network (CAN) technology was originally intended for automotive engine control communication. It has rapidly gained popularity to support a wide range of growing applications, including medical devices, avionics, factory and industrial automation, and maritime environments.
Atmel is well positioned to support CAN networking with a broad portfolio of 8051 microcontroller flash technology, together with extensive experience in CAN networking.
For example, the AT89C51CC01, AT89C51CC02, AT89C51CC03 deliver 5 MIPS at 5V, and 16KBytes to 64KBytes Flash. They can support a wide range of slave applications such as proximity sensor, DeviceNet I/O, textile machine I/O, and many other applications.
For low voltage applications, the following controllers maintain up to 3.3MIPS down to 2.7 volts.
The AT89C51CC02 with 16Kbytes Flash and 0.5Kbytes RAM + a simple 4 message objects CAN engine packaged into a Small Pin Count package is excellent for low end applications where a minimum DeviceNet or CANopen slave stacks are used. It is an ideal low cost product for a CAN controller push-button.
The AT89C51CC01 features 32Kbytes Flash and 1.2 Kbytes RAM, and is well-positioned for slave applications. It offers 2 Kbytes of Boot flash, with at least 3 MIPS remaining for the application on top of a CANopen or DeviceNet stack. The chip features an 8 channel 10 bit A/D converter, 3 timers, a 5-channel high speed input/output timer units, and 32 I/Os. Its 15 message objects and the 1.2Kbytes RAM make the chip suitable for complex I/O systems. The AT89C51CC03 provides 64Kbytes Flash for application programs and 2Kbytes RAM for a larger object Dictionary. The built-in SPI port also assists communication with other devices. It features 15 message objects as well as 2Kbytes Bootloader and 2Kbytes EEPROM.
