Implementation of I/O modules of 8051 on FPGA (P-0140) (MFN 3213)

Abstract

The project is about design and implementation of input/output modules for 8051 microcontroller on FPGA. There are 4 input/output ports of 8051 microcontroller. The aim of this project is to implement SPI, UART, and I2Cprotocols on FPGA. FPGAs are programmable silicon chips which can be configured to implement hardware functionality. I/O ports increase capabilities of traditional 8051 microcontroller and allow microcontroller to connect to a custom peripheral set or to other FPGA logic, giving high speed applications and cost effective solution. This design uses Verilog HDL which is a hardware description language.We have used Xilinx ISE as a synthesis tool and ModelSIM for testing.
