 Internal Architecture
Oscillator Circuit:-

(1). The 8051 requires an external oscillator circuit.

(2). The oscillator circuit usually runs around 12MHz.

(3). The crystal generates 12M pulses in one second.

(4). The pulse is used to synchronize the system operation

in a controlled pace.

 Internal Architecture
(5). An 8051 machine cycle consists of 12 crystal pulses
(clock cycle).

(6). Used for synchronizing internal operations.

(7). Pins XTAL1 & XTAL2 have been used.

(8). The length of machine cycle depends on the frequency

of the crystal oscillator connected to 8051.

 Internal Memory

(1). 8051 implements a separate memory space for

programs (code) and data.

(2). Both code and data may be internal, however, both

expand using external components to a maximum of
64K code memory and 64K data memory.

(3). Internal memory consists of on-chip ROM and on-chip

data RAM.

 Internal Memory
(4). On-chip RAM contains a rich arrangement of general
purpose storage, bit addressable storage, register
banks, and special function registers.

(5). In the 8051, the registers and input/output ports are

memory mapped and accessible like any other memory
location.

(6). In the 8051, the stack resides within the internal RAM,
rather than in external RAM.

 Special Function Registers
(1). 8051 has 21 special function registers (SFRs) at the top of internal
RAM from address 80H to FFH.

(2). Most of the addresses from 80H to FFH are not defined, except for 21
of them.

(3). Some SFR’s are both bit-addressable and byte addressable, depending
on the instruction accessing the register.

(4). This area consists of a series of memory-mapped ports and registers.

(5). All 8051 CPU registers, I/O ports, timers and other architecture
components are accessible in 8051 C through SFRs

 B Register
(1). B register or accumulator B is used along with the accumulator
for multiply and divide operations.

(2). MUL AB: multiplies 8 bit unsigned values in A and B. and leaves
the 16 bit result in A (low byte) and B (high byte).

(3). DIV AB: divided A by B, leaving the integer result in A and

remainder in B.

(4). B register is bit-addressable.

 Stack Pointer
(1). Stack pointer (SP) is an 8-bit register at address 81H.

(2). It contains the address of the data item currently on

top of the stack.

(3). Stack operations include pushing data on the stack

andpopping data off the stack.

(4). Pushing increments SP before writing the data.

(5). Popping from the stack reads the data and

18
decrements the SP
 Stack Pointer
(6). 8051 stack is kept in the internal RAM.

(7). Depending on the initial value of the SP, stack can

have different sizes.

(8). Example: MOV SP,#5FH.

(9). On 8051 this would limit the stack to 32 bytes

since the uppermost address of on chip RAM is 7FH.

 Data pointer (DPTR)
(1). Data pointer (DPTR): is used to access external data or code.

(2). DPTR is a 16 bit register at addresses 82H (low byte) and 83H
(high byte).

(3). The data pointer is used in operations regarding external RAM

and some instructions involving code memory.

(4). Example: the following instructions write 55H into external

RAM location 1000H:
• MOV A,#55H
• MOV DPTR,#1000H
• MOVX @DPTR,A
20
 I/O Ports
(1). One of the major features of a microcontroller is the versatility
built into the I/O circuits that connect the microcontroller to the
outside world .

(2). To be commercially viable, the 8051 had to incorporate as many

I/O functions as were technically and economically possible.

(3). One of the most useful features of the 8051 is four bidirectional
I/O ports.

(4). Each port has an 8-bit latch in the SFR space as mentioned
earlier.
21
 I/O Ports
(5). To reduce the overall package pin count, the 8051
employs multiple functions for each port.

(6). Each port also has an output drive and an input buffer.

(7). These ports can be used to general purpose I/O, as an

address and data lines.

(8). The four 8-bit I/O ports P0, P1, P2 and P3 each uses 8
pins.

I/O Ports

23
 PORT 0
(1). Port 0 is 8-bitbidirectional I/O port.

(2). Port 0 pins can be used as high-impedance inputs.

(3). Port 0 is also the multiplexed low-order address and data

bus during accesses to external program and data memory.

(4). We r using pins no. from 32 to 39.

(5). When used as an output the pin latches are programmed

to 0.

(5). When used as an input the pin latches are programmed to

(2). We r using pins no. from 1 to 9.

(3). Port 1 have no dual functions.

(4). When used as an output the pin latches are

programmed to 0.

(5). When used as an input the pin latches are

programmed to 1.
Microcontroller Notes by Er. Swapnil V. Kaware ([email protected]) 25
 PORT 2
(1). Port 2 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port.

(2). Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches from
external program memory and during accesses to external data
memory that use 16-bit addresses (MOVX @DPTR).

(3). When used as an output the pin latches are programmed to 0.

(4). When used as an input the pin latches are programmed to 1.

(5). We r using pins no. from 21 to 28.

 Timers and Counters

(1). Many microcontroller applications require the counting of

external events, such as frequency of a pulse train, or the
generation of precise internal time delays between actions.

(2). Both of these tasks can be accomplished using software

techniques.

(3). The 8051 has two 16-bit registers that can be used as either
timers or counters.

Microcontroller Notes by Er. Swapnil V. Kaware ([email protected]) 28

 Timers and Counters
(4). These two up counters are name T0 and T1 and are
provided for general use of the programmer.

(5). Each counter may be programmed to count internal

clock pulses, act as a timer, or programmed to count
external events as a counter.

(6). The counters are divided into two 8-bit registers

called the timer low (TL0, TL1) and timer high (TH0,
TH1) bytes.

 Interrupts
• An interrupt is a special feature which Allows the 8051 to
provide the illusion of "multitasking,“ although in reality the
8051 is only doing one thing at a time. The word "interrupt" can
often be substituted with the word "event.“

• An interrupt is triggered whenever corresponding event occurs.

When the event occurs, the 8051 temporarily puts "on hold" the
normal execution of the program and executes a special section
of code referred to as an interrupt handler.

Microcontroller Notes by Er. Swapnil V. Kaware ([email protected]) 34

 Interrupts
• Whenever any device needs its service, the device
notifies the microcontroller by sending it an interrupt
signal.

• There are total 5 interrupt sources in 8051

Microprocessor as follows.
(1). Timer Flag 0, (2). Timer Flag 1, (TF1 & TF2 are
Timer Flag Interrupts).
(3). INT 0, (4). INT 1, (INT 0 & INT 1 are external
interrupts).
(5). Serial Port Interrupt (RI or TI).
