The 8051 Microcontroller was designed in the 1980s by Intel. Its foundation was on Harvard Architecture and was developed principally for bringing into play in Embedded Systems. At first, it was created using NMOS technology but as NMOS technology needs more power to function therefore Intel re-intended Microcontroller 8051 employing CMOS technology and a new edition came into existence with a letter ‘C’ in the title name, for illustration: 80C51. These most modern Microcontrollers need fewer amount of power to function
There are two buses in 8051 Microcontroller one for the program and another for data. As a result, it has two storage rooms for both program and data of 64K by 8 sizes. The microcontroller comprises of 8-bit accumulator & an 8-bit processing unit. It also consists of 8 bit B register as majorly functioning blocks and 8051 microcontroller programming is done with embedded C language using Keil software. It also has several other 8 bit and 16-bit registers.

For internal functioning & processing Microcontroller, 8051 comes with integrated built-in RAM. This is prime memory and is employed for storing temporary data. It is an unpredictable memory i.e. its data can get be lost when the power supply to the Microcontroller switched OFF.
There are many applications with an 8051 microcontroller. So, 8051 Microcontroller Projects have great significance in Engineering final year.
