https://www.electronics-lab.com/delay-using-8051-timer/

The major component of this circuit is Microchip’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, which is a pin-for-pin compatible with typical 8051 microcontroller devices. It has a built-in timer used to produce accurate time delay. The light emitting diode (LED) is connected through the 330Ω resistor to indicate the time delay. The blinking LED switches ON for 1ms and switches […]
