#113809 - Where is this divide by 2?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

The machine cycle for a standard 8051 device is the crystal frequency divided by 12, so for a 12MHz crystal, the machine cycle is 1MHz or 1uS. Some instructions take 1 cycle, some 2 cycles and MUL/DIV 4 cycles. Where is this magic divide by two entering into the equation? I suggest reading the datasheets carefully and giving us a reference if you need specific clarification.

Some variants can be switched between 6 clocks and 12 clocks for a machine cycle - if switched to 6 clocks, the machine cycle is twice as fast.
