AT89C51 average sampling rate

Dear all,
I'd like to use AT89C51 for sampling.
The samples are going to store in a external RAM.
Is the sampling rate equals the oscillator attached?
I heard that the max rate is less than 500ksps, isn't it?
Thanks.

  • I am going to use AD7825 which is 2Msps and 8 bit. I wonder if the uC could handle it even it has 12MHz oscillator and RAM attached. Moreover it has to calculate from the samples.

    I do believe that the AT89C51 is a 12 clocker
    and since read port, movx, inc dptr is a tyotal of 6 cycles, tha maxx read yoy will get will be (12MHz /12) /6

    if you need speed you need look at SILabs
