Microcontroller (8051) - A Short Description

This document discusses microcontrollers and provides details about the 8051 microcontroller. It begins with an introduction to microcontrollers and why we need to learn about them. It then discusses three criteria for choosing a microcontroller: meeting computing needs efficiently and cost effectively, availability of software tools, and reliable sources. The document proceeds to provide pin details and descriptions for the 8051 microcontroller, noting the functions of pins like XTAL1/XTAL2 for the oscillator, EA/VPP, PSEN, ALE, and RESET.

Why do we need to learn Micro controllers?

The microprocessor is the core of computer


systems.
Now a days many communication, digital
entertainment, portable devices, are controlled by
them.
A designer should know what types of components
he needs, ways to reduce production costs and
product reliable.
Microcontroller

 A smaller computer
 On-chip RAM, ROM, I/O ports...
 Example：Motorola’s 6811, Intel’s 8051, Zilog’s Z8
and PIC 16X

Three criteria in Choosing Microcontroller
 Meeting the computing needs of the task efficiently and cost
effectively
-Speed, the amount of ROM and RAM, the number of I/O
ports and timers, size, packaging, power consumption
-Easy to upgrade
-Cost per unit
 Availability of software development tools
-Assemblers, debuggers, C compilers, emulator, simulator,
technical support
 Wide availability and reliable sources of the microcontrollers.

Description
 XTAL1 and XTAL2:
These are two I/P line for on-chip oscillator and clock
generator circuit.
 [EA(bar)]/VPP:
It is and active low I/P to 8051 microcontroller.
 [PSEN(bar)]:
It is active low O/P signal. It is used to enable external
program memory (ROM).
 ALE:
Address latch enable: It is active high O/P signal. When it
goes high, external address latch becomes enabling and
lower address of external memory (RAM or ROM)
latched into it.
 RESET:
It is active high I/P signal. It should be maintained high
for at least two machine cycle while oscillator is running
then 8051 microcontroller resets.
