Looking for a good 8051 microcontroller.

I've been planning on using the DS87C520 microcontroller. I really like
this chip. Its got 1024 bytes of on-chip XDATA RAM and 16KB or on-chip
CODE EPROM. However, I'm running out of room. Does anyone know
of another chip that has the 1024 bytes of XDATA but has more than
16KB of EPROM??

  • The RD+ is obsolete. New parts are RC2 and RD2. These have 32K and 64K flash, and 512 and 1024 bytes of ram respectively. They are also reduced cycle chips i.e. they use 6 clock cycles per machine cycle rather than 12 clocks. They will not be as fast as the Dallas 520, even then though.
