INTEL 8051 MICRCONTROLLER

Introduction : A decade back the process and control operations were totally implemented by the

Microprocessors only. But now a days the situation is totally changed and it is occupied by the new devices called Microcontroller. The development is so drastic that we cant find any electronic gadget without the use of a microcontroller. This microcontroller changed the embedded system design so simple and advanced that the embedded market has become one of the most sought after for not only entrepreneurs but for design engineers also.

'E-ELOPMENT TOOLS:

To develop an assembly language program we need certain program development tools. An assembly language program consists of Mnemonics which are nothing but short abbreviated

8nglish instructions given to the controller.The various development tools reIuired for Microcontroller programming are e(plained below. 1 Editor : An 8ditor is a program which allows us to create a file containing the assembly language statements for the program. 8(amples of some editors are PC write Gordstar. As we type the program the editor stores the AC4$$ codes for the letters and numbers in successive !AM locations. $f any typing mistake is done editor will alert us to correct it. $f we leave out a program statement an editor will let you move everything down and insert a line. After typing all the program we have to save the program . This we call it as source file. The ne(t step is to process the source file with an assembler. 8() 4ample. asm 4 5sse%)"er : An Assembler is used to translate the assembly language mnemonics into

machine language6 i.e binary codes7. Ghen you run the assembler it reads the source file of your program from where you have saved it. The assembler generates a filee with the e(tension (e:. This file consists of he(adecimal values encoding a seIuence of data and their starting offset or absolute address. + Co%pi"er : A compiler is a program which converts the high level language program like @CJ into binary or machine code. sing high level languages it is easy to manage comple( data structures which are often reIuired for data manipulation. Because of its ease " fle(ibility and debug options now a days the compilers have become very popular in the market. Compilers like Aeil "!ide and $A! workbench are very popular. + 'e)ugger9Si%u"$tor : A debugger is a program which allows e(ecute the program" and

troubleshoot or debug it. The debugger allows to look into the contents of registers and memory locations after the program runs. Ge can also change the contents of registers and memory locations and rerun the program. 4ome debuggers allows to stop the program after each instruction so that you can check or alter memory and register contents. This is called single step debug. A debugger also allows to set a breakpoint at any point in the program. $f we insert a break point " the debugger will run the program up to the instruction where the breakpoint is put and then stop the e(ecution.

A simulator is a software program which virtually e(ecutes the instructions similar to a microcontroller and shows the results. This will help in evaluating the results without committing any errors. By doing so we can detect the possible logic errors INTEL 8051 MICRCONTROLLER : The +-., microcontroller is a very popular +5bit microcontroller introduced by $ntel in the year ,:+, and it has become almost the academic standard now a days. The +-., is based on an +5bit C$4C core with Farvard architecture. $ts +5bit architecture is optimi>ed for control applications with e(tensive Boolean processing. $t is available as a <-5pin &$P chip and works at H. 2olts &C.

The architecture of the +-., microcontroller can be understood from the block diagram. $t has Farward architecture with !$4C 6!educed $nstruction 4et Computer7 concept. The block diagram of +-., microcontroller is shown in 'ig =. below,.$t consists of an +5bit A3 " one +5 bit P4G6Program 4tatus !egister7" A and B registers " one ,*5bit Program counter " one ,*5bit &ata pointer register6&PT!7",;+ bytes of !AM and <kB of !#M and four parallel $%# ports each of +5bit width.

Fig + !"oc# 'i$gr$% o& 8051 Microcontro""er +-., has +5bit A3 which can perform all the +5bit arithmetic and logical operations in one machine cycle. The A3 is associated with two registers A D B 5 $nd ! Registers ) The A and B registers are special function registers which hold the results of many arithmetic and logical operations of +-.,.The A register is also called the 5ccu%u"$tor and as its name suggests" is used as a general register to accumulate the results of a large number of instructions. By default it is used for all mathematical operations and also data transfer operations between CP and any e(ternal memory.

The B register is mainly used for multiplication and division operations along with A register.
M 3 AB ) &$2 AB.

$t has no other function other than as a location where data may be stored. T(e R registers) The K!K registers are a set of eight registers that are named !-" !," etc. up to and including !?. These registers are used as au(illary registers in many operations. The K!K registers are also used to temporarily store values. Progr$% Counter7PC8 : +-., has a ,*5bit program counter .The program counter always points to the address of the ne(t instruction to be e(ecuted. After e(ecution of one instruction the program counter is incremented to point to the address of the ne(t instruction to be e(ecuted. $t is the contents of the PC that are placed on the address bus to find and fetch the desired instruction. 4ince the PC is ,*5bit width" +-., can access program addresses from ----F to ''''F "a total of *<kB of code. St$c# Pointer Register 7SP8: $t is an +5bit register which stores the address of the stack top. i.e the 4tack Pointer is used to indicate where the ne(t value to be removed from the stack should be taken from. Ghen a value is pushed onto the stack" the +-., first increments the value of 4P and then stores the value at the resulting memory location. 4imilarly when a value is popped off the stack" the +-., returns the value from the memory location indicated by 4P" and then decrements the value of 4P. 4ince the 4P is only +5bit wide it is incremented or decremented by two. 4P is modified directly by the +-., by si( instructions) P 4F" P#P" ACA33" 3CA33" !8T" and !8T$. $t is also used intrinsically whenever an interrupt is triggered. ST5C< in 8051 Microcontro""er : The stack is a part of !AM used by the CP to store

information temporarily. This information may be either data or an address. The CP needs this storage area as there are only limited number of registers. The register used to access the stack is called the 4tack pointer which is an +5bit register..4o"it can take values of -- to '' F.Ghen the +-., is powered up "the 4P register contains the value -?.i.e the !AM location value -+ is the first location being used for the stack by the +-., controller

'$t$ Pointer Register 7'PTR8: $t is a ,*5bit register which is the only user5accessible. &PT!" as the name suggests" is used to point to data. $t is used by a number of commands which allow the +-., to access e(ternal memory. Ghen the +-., accesses e(ternal memory it will access e(ternal memory at the address indicated by &PT!. This &PT! can also be used as two +5registers &PF and &P3. Progr$% St$tus Register 7PS>8 : The +-., has a +5bit P4G register which is alsoknown as 'lag register.$n the +5bit register only *5bits are used by +-.,.The two unused bits are user definable bits.$n the *5bits four of them are conditional flags .They are Carry 9CM"Au(iliary Carry5AC" Parity5P"and #verflow5#2 .These flag bits after an instruction was e(ecuted. indicate some conditions that resulted registers to the stack is done by P 4F and the loading of the contents of the stack back into aCP register is done by P#P.

The program memory is also known as Code memory .This Code memory holds the actual +-., program that is to be e(ecuted. $n +-., this memory is limited to *<A .Code memory may be found on5chip" as !#M or 8P!#M. $t may also be stored completely off5chip in an e(ternal !#M or" more commonly" an e(ternal 8P!#M. The +-., has only ,;+ bytes of $nternal !AM but it supports *<kB of e(ternal !AM. As the name suggests" e(ternal !AM is any random access memory which is off5chip. 4ince the memory is off5chip it is not as fle(ible interms of accessing" and is also slower.

A stepper motor is a device that translates electrical pulses into mechanical movement. The stepper motor rotates in steps in response to the applied signals. $t is used in applications such as disk drives" dot matri( printers" plotters and robotics.$t is mainly used for position control. 4tepper motors have a permanent magnet called rotor 6also called the shaft7 surrounded by a stator . There are also steppers called variable reluctance stepper motors that do not have a PM rotor. The most common stepper motors have four stator windings that are paired with a center5 tapped. This type of stepper motor is commonly referred to as a. four5phase or unipolar stepper motor. The center tap allows a change of current direction in each of two coils when a winding is grounded" thereby resulting in a polarity change of the stator.

Ghen a word is given to the A!T for Asynchronous transmissions" a bit called the K4tart BitK is added to the beginning of each word that is to be transmitted.

Ghen the entire data word has been sent" the transmitter may add a Parity Bit that the transmitter generates. The Parity bit may be used by the receiver to perform simple error checking.
