Hello,
I have two questions
1. Can I have 8051 process 40 bit data? If so how. If not what is the solution?
2. Can I have 89C51 perform a read operation from an I/O pin @ rate >12 Mhz (ay be 0 Mhz)
Awaiting answers.
Thanks in advance.
Like all 8-bit micros they can do math on larger bit widths 8-bits at a time. You could do this in assembler, or with larger types like uint64_t or "long long" depending if the compiler supports such things.
Really at 50 MHz you should be thinking about hardware solving your problem. Can a timer measure your signal.
The 8051 can't solve every problem, broaden your horizons at little.
