Single Board Computer comes with prototyping area.

Press Release Summary:



LAB PRO-51 has P89C51RB2BA processor, 16K bytes of Flash, 512 bytes of RAM, and prototyping area where user circuitry can be built and tested. On-chip Flash can be programmed by connecting board to PC serial port. Optional solderless breadboard can be mounted over prototyping area. All CPU lines are available at female header connectors, so jumper wires can connect to processor. Board includes 8 LEDs, 8-position DIP switch and RS-232 serial port.



Original Press Release:


LAB PRO-51 FLASH PROGRAMMABLE 8051 CARD WITH PROTOTYPING AREA


Overview

The LAB PRO-51 is a single board computer based upon the popular 8051 family of microcontrollers. The processor used on the board is the P89C51RB2BA, which has 16K bytes of Flash and 512 bytes of RAM. A major advantage of the 89C51, however, is its mechanism for in-system programming. On-chip Flash can be programmed by connecting the board to a PC serial port. This approach is referred to as "in-system" since the 89C51 remains installed on the LAB PRO-51 during programming.

A major design feature of the LAB PRO-51 is its prototyping area. The prototype area contains a large number of solder pads ( .060 pad with .036 hole ) placed on a .1 inch grid. User circuitry can be built and tested in this area. Board connectors are available to connect to the 89C51.

An optional solderless breadboard can also be purchased and mounted over the prototyping area. Custom circuitry can be built on the breadboard using jumper wires. Hence, no soldering is required. In addition, all CPU lines are available at female header connectors. Thus, jumper wires can also be used to connect to the processor.

The board measures 4.75 by 6.75 inches. Board features include prototyping space with optional solderless breadboard, female header connectors and solder pads for connections to the processor, 8 LEDs, 8-position DIP switch, RS-232 serial port with DB-09 female connector, DS1233 EconoReset for reset generation, and 1 amp voltage regulator.
