PREFACE
In this exiting era of embedded systems, proper understanding & practical learning of embedded
systems will enhance career prospects for the students. SI Labs Advanced 8051 Microcontroller
Kit (NIKIT-SI-51) is 100 MIPS 8051 microcontroller family. The kit comes with silicon
Laboratories C8051F120 controller Target Board, JTAG Debugger, IDE and other accessories.
On-chip MAC unit for fast calculation, on-chip 12-bit 8-channel ADC (100KSPS), on-chip 10bit DAC are other useful feature on 8051 core of this kit. A CD ROM provided with the kits
contains code examples for different peripherals.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
Silicon Laboratories Buffer Card is developed by NITech (Embedded Division) for the Silicon
Laboratories C8051F12x Development Kit containing C8051F120 Target Board. A 96-pin
Expansion I/O connector is provided on C8051F120 Target Board which can be connected to
Silicon Laboratories Buffer Card using EURO 96 connector. All I/O pins of Silicon Laboratories
Buffer Card are buffered and interfacing keyboard, LCD, DI, DO, AI, AO, LED, Serial
Communication made 5 V tolerance and easy.
The main features of the SI LAB Buffer Card are listed below:
Buffered 5 V Tolerance I/O pins.
Keyboard Interfacing.
LCD Interfacing.
Serial Communication.
Analog output with adjustable gain.
Analog input
LED on Port pins.
+5 V Regulated Power Supply.
