Question

Write the RAM and ROM size of 8048, 8049 and 8050 Microcontrollers

Answer 1

8048, 8049, 8050

1) Intel’s first microcontroller was 8048. The 8048, 8049 and 8050 all have identical architectures with the exception of memory size.

2) In each case, the memory doubles. 8048 supports 1K byte of internal memory. 8049 supports 2k bytes of internal memory and 8050 supports 4K bytes of internal memory.

3) 8048 has 64 bytes internal RAM, including 32 bytes of register/memory location. The 8049 and 8050 have a total of 128 and 256 bytes of RAM respectively.

4) The microcontrollers are low-cost products and hence are very popular.
