The selection table below lists the 8051 emulator componentsthat are required to emulate a particular Intel 8051 or 8031 derivative and package.

Some emulators for Intel 8051 are built from three modules: A Main Board, an exchangeable POD board and an exchangeable Package Adapter. Those emulators have an entry/link in each column of the table below. You need to order at least one main board, POD board and package adapter to receive a complete 8051 emulator.

A second type of 8051 emulator combines main board, POD and package adapter onto a single board. This is called a dedicated emulator, as the "POD" is not exchangeable to support different 8051 derivatives. With those types of emulators you only need to order the component listed under the "main board" column to receive a complete 8051 emulator.

• Advantage: Simplified ordering and lower cost

Emulation of SOIC or SSOP packages often requires an additional DIP-SOIC/SSOP adapter.

How to use this selection guide:

• Locate the part number of the Intel 8051 or 8031 microcontroller you want to emulate in the "Target MCU" column of the table below.
• In the row associated with your target MCU, click on the links for "Main boards", "POD" and "Package Adapter" to buy and/or to view a detailed description and the price of each module. Each separate row starting out in the "main board" column represents a valid emulator module combination.
