8051 Microcontroller lab


Cycle-1

Prelab questions

1.List out some of the features of the 8051?


ROM - 4K bytes
RAM - 128 bytes
Timer - 2 no
I/O Pins - 32
Serial Port - 1
Interrupt sources - 6
2.What is meant by Flipflop?
A Flip-flop is a basic electronic circuit used for storing information in a
digital machine.
It is a bistable device. It means it has two stable states.
It has one or more inputs and two complement outputs.
3.What is bit,byte,nibble?
4.What is width of data bus and address bus?

Cycle-2
1. List Out Addressing Modes In Mcs-51?

o Direct Addressing
o Register Addressing
o Register Indirect Addressing
o Implicit Addressing
o Immediate Addressing
o Index Addressing

2. What Is Special Function Registers (sfr)?


The memory addresses from 80H to 0FFH are called SFR. These are 128 bytes
registers specially designed for interrupts and few other operations

3. What Are The Types Of Interrupts In 8051?

o External interrupt 0 (IE0) has highest priority among interrupts.


o Timer interrupt 0 (TF0)
o External interrupt 1 (IE1)
o Timer interrupt 1 (TF1) has lowest priority among other interrupts.
o Serial port Interrupt
o Reset.

4) What are the various jump instructions in microcontroller?


It is of two types- conditional jump and unconditional jump. Conditional jump is of
two types byte level instruction an bit level instruction. Similarly unconditional jump
is also divided into 3 sub-jump and these are- Short jump, Absolute jump, Long
jump.

Cycle-3

1) What is an Interrupt service routine?


When micro controller is under sudden interrupt, it will call ISR (Interrupt service
routine) that will store the address of current memory address and takes the control
to new interrupt memory address. After the interrupt, the control will transfer back to
its previous address.
Ans: A subroutine is a program that may be used many times in the execution of a
larger program.

2) What is the difference between timer and counter of microcontroller?

Timer counts internal clock cycles while counter counts external events

3) What is the significance of EA pin?


EA stands for External Access. By applying LOW to this pin, makes 8051
toomit internal 4KB on-chip ROM and use only external memory for
programstorage. By applying HIGH to this pin, makes 8051 to use internal 4KB on-
chip ROM along with external memory for program storage
