To study the microcontroller 8051
Pin 9: RS A logic one on this pin disables the microcontroller and clears the contents of most
registers. In other words, the positive voltage on this pin resets the microcontroller. By
applying logic zero to this pin, the program starts execution from the beginning.
Pins10-17: Port 3 Similar to port 1, each of these pins can serve as general input or output.
Besides, all of them have alternative functions:
Pin 21-28: Port 2 If there is no intention to use external memory then these port pins are
configured as general inputs/outputs. In case external memory is used, the higher address
byte, i.e. addresses A8-A15 will appear on this port. Even though memory with capacity of
64Kb is not used, which means that not all eight port bits are used for its addressing, the rest
of them are not available as inputs/outputs.
Pin 29: PSEN If external ROM is used for storing program then a logic zero (0) appears on it
every time the microcontroller reads a byte from memory.
Pin 30: ALE Prior to reading from external memory, the microcontroller puts the lower
address byte (A0-A7) on P0 and activates the ALE output. After receiving signal from the
ALE pin, the external register (usually 74HCT373 or 74HCT375 add-on chip) memorizes the
state of P0 and uses it as a memory chip address. Immediately after that, the ALU pin is
returned its previous logic state and P0 is now used as a Data Bus. As seen, port data
multiplexing is performed by means of only one additional (and cheap) integrated circuit. In
other words, this port is used for both data and address transmission.
Pin 31: EA By applying logic zero to this pin, P2 and P3 are used for data and address
transmission with no regard to whether there is internal memory or not. It means that even
there is a program written to the microcontroller, it will not be executed. Instead, the program
written to external ROM will be executed. By applying logic one to the EA pin, the
microcontroller will use both memories, first internal then external (if exists).
Pin 32-39: Port 0 Similar to P2, if external memory is not used, these pins can be used as
general inputs/outputs. Otherwise, P0 is configured as address output (A0-A7) when the ALE
pin is driven high (1) or as data output (Data Bus) when the ALE pin is driven low (0).
All 8051 microcontrollers have 4 I/O ports each comprising 8 bits which can be configured as
inputs or outputs. Accordingly, in total of 32 input/output pins enabling the microcontroller to
be connected to peripheral devices are available for use.
Pin configuration, i.e. whether it is to be configured as an input (1) or an output (0), depends
on its logic state. In order to configure a microcontroller pin as an input, it is necessary to
apply a logic zero (0) to appropriate I/O port bit. In this case, voltage level on appropriate pin
will be 0.
Memory Organization
The 8051 has two types of memory and these are Program Memory and Data Memory.
Program Memory (ROM) is used to permanently save the program being executed, while
Data Memory (RAM) is used for temporarily storing data and intermediate results created
and used during the operation of the microcontroller. Depending on the model in use (we are
still talking about the 8051 microcontroller family in general) at most a few Kb of ROM and
128 or 256 bytes of RAM is used. However…
All 8051 microcontrollers have a 16-bit addressing bus and are capable of addressing 64 kb
memory. It is neither a mistake nor a big ambition of engineers who were working on basic
core development. It is a matter of smart memory organization which makes these
microcontrollers a real “programmers’ goody“.
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are a sort of control table used for running and monitoring
the operation of the microcontroller. Each of these registers as well as each bit they include,
has its name, address in the scope of RAM and precisely defined purpose such as timer
control, interrupt control, serial communication control etc. Even though there are 128
memory locations intended to be occupied by them, the basic core, shared by all types of
8051 microcontrollers, has only 21 such registers. Rest of locations is intentionally left
unoccupied in order to enable the manufacturers to further develop microcontrollers keeping
them compatible with the previous versions. It also enables programs written a long time ago
for microcontrollers which are out of production now to be used today.
PSW register is one of the most important SFRs. It contains several status bits that reflect the
current state of the CPU. Besides, this register contains Carry bit, Auxiliary Carry, two
register bank select bits, Overflow flag, parity bit and user-definable status flag.
P - Parity bit. If a number stored in the accumulator is even then this bit will be
automatically set (1), otherwise it will be cleared (0). It is mainly used during data transmit
and receive via serial communication.
OV Overflow occurs when the result of an arithmetical operation is larger than 255 and
cannot be stored in one register. Overflow condition causes the OV bit to be set (1).
Otherwise, it will be cleared (0).
RS0, RS1 - Register bank select bits. These two bits are used to select one of four register
banks of RAM. By setting and clearing these bits, registers R0-R7 are stored in one of four
banks of RAM.
RS1 RS2 Space in RAM
0 0 Bank0 00h-07h
0 1 Bank1 08h-0Fh
1 0 Bank2 10h-17h
1 1 Bank3 18h-1Fh
CY - Carry Flag is the (ninth) auxiliary bit used for all arithmetical operations and shift
instructions.
DPTR register is not a true one because it doesn't physically exist. It consists of two separate
registers: DPH (Data Pointer High) and (Data Pointer Low). For this reason it may be treated
as a 16-bit register or as two independent 8-bit registers. Their 16 bits are primarly used for
external memory addressing. Besides, the DPTR Register is usually used for storing data and
intermediate results.
Stack Pointer (SP) Register
A value stored in the Stack Pointer points to the first free stack address and permits stack
availability. Stack pushes increment the value in the Stack Pointer by 1. Likewise, stack pops
decrement its value by 1. Upon any reset and power-on, the value 7 is stored in the Stack
Pointer, which means that the space of RAM reserved for the stack starts at this location. If
another value is written to this register, the entire Stack is moved to the new memory
location.
If neither external memory nor serial communication system are used then 4 ports with in
total of 32 input/output pins are available for connection to peripheral environment. Each bit
within these ports affects the state and performance of appropriate pin of the microcontroller.
Thus, bit logic state is reflected on appropriate pin as a voltage (0 or 5 V) and vice versa,
voltage on a pin reflects the state of appropriate port bit.
As mentioned, port bit state affects performance of port pins, i.e. whether they will be
configured as inputs or outputs. If a bit is cleared (0), the appropriate pin will be configured
as an output, while if it is set (1), the appropriate pin will be configured as an input. Upon
reset and power-on, all port bits are set (1), which means that all appropriate pins will be
configured as inputs.
As you already know, the microcontroller oscillator uses quartz crystal for its operation. As
the frequency of this oscillator is precisely defined and very stable, pulses it generates are
always of the same width, which makes them ideal for time measurement. Such crystals are
also used in quartz watches. In order to measure time between two events it is sufficient to
count up pulses coming from this oscillator. That is exactly what the timer does. If the timer
is properly programmed, the value stored in its register will be incremented (or decremented)
with each coming pulse, i.e. once per each machine cycle. A single machine-cycle instruction
lasts for 12 quartz oscillator periods, which means that by embedding quartz with oscillator
frequency of 12MHz, a number stored in the timer register will be changed million times per
second, i.e. each microsecond.
The 8051 microcontroller has 2 timers/counters called T0 and T1. As their names suggest,
their main purpose is to measure time and count external events. Besides, they can be used
for generating clock pulses to be used in serial communication, so called Baud Rate.
Timer T0
As seen in figure below, the timer T0 consists of two registers – TH0 and TL0 representing a
low and a high byte of one 16-digit binary number.
Accordingly, if the content of the timer T0 is equal to 0 (T0=0) then both registers it consists
of will contain 0. If the timer contains for example number 1000 (decimal), then the TH0
register (high byte) will contain the number 3, while the TL0 register (low byte) will contain
decimal number 232.
Since the timer T0 is virtually 16-bit register, the largest value it can store is 65 535. In case
of exceeding this value, the timer will be automatically cleared and counting starts from 0.
This condition is called an overflow. Two registers TMOD and TCON are closely connected
to this timer and control its operation.
TMOD Register (Timer Mode)
The TMOD register selects the operational mode of the timers T0 and T1. As seen in figure
below, the low 4 bits (bit0 - bit3) refer to the timer 0, while the high 4 bits (bit4 - bit7) refer
to the timer 1. There are 4 operational modes and each of them is described herein.
GATE1 enables and disables Timer 1 by means of a signal brought to the INT1 pin
(P3.3):
o 1 - Timer 1 operates only if the INT1 bit is set.
o 0 - Timer 1 operates regardless of the logic state of the INT1 bit.
C/T1 selects pulses to be counted up by the timer/counter 1:
o 1 - Timer counts pulses brought to the T1 pin (P3.5).
o 0 - Timer counts pulses from internal oscillator.
T1M1,T1M0 These two bits select the operational mode of the Timer 1.
GATE0 enables and disables Timer 1 using a signal brought to the INT0 pin (P3.2):
o 1 - Timer 0 operates only if the INT0 bit is set.
o 0 - Timer 0 operates regardless of the logic state of the INT0 bit.
C/T0 selects pulses to be counted up by the timer/counter 0:
o 1 - Timer counts pulses brought to the T0 pin (P3.4).
o 0 - Timer counts pulses from internal oscillator.
T0M1,T0M0 These two bits select the oprtaional mode of the Timer 0.
TCON register is also one of the registers whose bits are directly in control of timer
operation.
Only 4 bits of this register are used for this purpose, while rest of them is used for interrupt
control to be discussed later.
Timer 1
Timer 1 is identical to timer 0, except for mode 3 which is a hold-count mode. It means that
they have the same function, their operation is controlled by the same registers TMOD and
TCON and both of them can operate in one out of 4 different modes.
