Abstract
This thesis exploits the ways to develop a new MCS BASIC-52 SBC using anything but an 8052AH-BASIC microcontroller. The 8052AH-BASIC based SBC offers short development time and low system cost; it is advantageous for numerous applications especially in the instrumentation, measurement and process control. However, the 8052AH-BASIC is no longer officially supported by INTEL and could disappear. Also, this SBC is not adequate for applications where power consumption is an important factor because the 8052AH-BASIC, a MOS product, draws a considerable amount of current.
To solve these problems we demonstrate how the 8052AH-BASIC can be replaced by any of a number of low power, CMOS versions of popular 80C32 microcontrollers by moving the on-chip BASIC interpreter to an external CMOS EPROM. The new SBC shows significant power reduction at the normal condition, and further power savings are possible by using the controller's two power-saving features. Moreover, the new SBC provides more space by reducing chip count, and the maximum clock frequency can be enhanced up to 16MHz, thus improving speed.
