#164064 - Compare ISR for 8051 with 8080 Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The 8051 is an old microcontroller.
But do locate the descriptions for an old 8080 processor, and count the number of instruction cycles that it takes to enter an interrupt. Compare this with the number of cycles the 8051 needs. One of them is a microcontroller. One is not. What is your view of the differences between 8051 or 8080 ISR handlers? If you don't find good info about the 8080, you may take the newer 16-bit 8086 instead. The comparison will be meaningful as to the design differences between an old microcontroller and an old microprocessor from the same manufacturer. |
