    Reset Circuit of 8051 Controller

    Uploaded by

    Suwilanji Joshua Chilongo
    The RESET circuit of the 8051 microcontroller uses a capacitor to hold the RESET line high for at least two machine cycles upon power-on to ensure proper startup. During power-off, the capacitor senses when the voltage supply is turned off. The crystal oscillator circuit connects a 12MHz crystal to two pins with stabilizing capacitors to generate a precise clock signal. The 8051 internally divides this clock by 4 to execute one instruction per 4 clock pulses. The clock allows the 8051 to respond to and synchronize external and internal events.

    RESET CIRCUIT OF 8051 CONTROLLER

    RESET is an active High input .


    When RESET is set to High, 8051 goes back to the power on state.

    The 8051 is reset by holding the RST high for at least two machine cycles and
    then returning it low.
    The capacitor is to cause a proper reset when power is first applied.
    When power is applied, the capacitor begins to charge and holds the
    reset line high (until it is charged) for long enough to ensure that the
    8051 gets a proper start up condition.
    This circuit ensures that a system or a device starts its operation when supply
    voltage stabilizes reaches it's nominal value .
    the capacitor provides a very short delay for the power supply to steady at 5
    volts
    before the 8051 starts running.
    It is needed to prevent erratic or uncontrolled operation during transition
    period after switching on.
    During
    power
    off,
    is
    to
    sense
    when
    the
    voltage
    supply
    is turned off.

    Power On Reset

    Initially charging of capacitor makes RST High.

    When capacitor charges fully it blocks DC.


    Manual Reset

    closing the switch momentarily will make RST High.

    After a reset, the program counter is loaded with 0000H but the content of on-chip
    RAM is not affected.

    Note: content of on-chip RAM is not affected by Reset.

    OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT OF 8051 CONTROLLER


    Crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator used to create an electrical signal of
    precise frequency by using the vibrating crystal mechanical resonance made of
    piezoelectric material.

    The crystal is connected to pins 18 and 19 with stabilizing capacitors. 12 MHz


    (11.059MHz) crystal is often used and the capacitance ranges from 20pF to
    40pF.
    The PIC will internally divide the clock input frequency by 4, in order to execute the

    program instructions.
    4 pulses = 1 operation, 1 operation = 1 instruction execution?
    Microcontrollers need to use a clock because they need to be able to respond to
    events that may occur at any time, including nearly simultaneously with either
    other external events or events generated by the controllers themselves, and will
    often have multiple circuits that need to know whether one event X precedes
    another event Y

    How fast 8051 works ?


    A cycle is, 12 pulses of the crystal. That is to say, if an instruction takes one machine cycle to
    execute, it will take 12 pulses of the crystal to execute. Since we know the crystal is pulsing
    11,059,000 times per second and that one machine cycle is 12 pulses, we can calculate how
    many instruction cycles the 8051 can execute per second:
    11,059,000 / 12 = 921,583
