8051 Microcontroller

The document discusses the 8051 microcontroller. It defines a microcontroller as a small, low-cost microcomputer designed for embedded systems to perform tasks like displaying information and receiving signals. The 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller introduced in 1981 consisting of a processor, memory (RAM, ROM), I/O ports, and peripherals on a single chip. It describes the 8051's pin diagram and block diagram and how it operates on 8-bit data as an embedded CPU.

What is microcontroller?
A Microcontroller is a small and low-cost microcomputer

 It is designed to perform the specific tasks of embedded systems


like displaying information, receiving remote signals etc.

The general microcontroller consists of the processor, the memory


(RAM, ROM, EPROM), Serial ports, peripherals (timers, counters)
etc.

Types of Microcontrollers
Based on bit configuration, the microcontroller is divided into three categories.

8-bit microcontroller
This type of microcontroller is used to execute arithmetic and logical operations like
addition, subtraction, multiplication division
For example, Intel 8031 and 8051 are 8-bit microcontroller.

16-bit microcontroller
This type of microcontroller is used to perform arithmetic and logical operations where
higher accuracy and performance is required.
For example, Intel 8096 is a 16-bit microcontroller.

32-bit microcontroller
This type of microcontroller is generally used in automatically controlled appliances like
automatic operational machines, medical appliances, etc.

Microprocessor Based System
 CPU
 External RAM, ROM, I/O (No internal RAM,
ROM, I/O ports in the CPU)

8051 Microcontroller 4
Microcontroller
 A smaller computer on a CHIP
 On-chip RAM, ROM, I/O Ports, Timer, Serial
Controller
 Example: Motorola’s 6811, Intel’s 8051, Atmel 32

Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller
Microprocessor
Microcontroller
• CPU is stand-alone, RAM,
ROM, I/O, timer are separate • CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O and
timer are all on a single chip
• Designer can decide on the
amount of ROM, RAM and I/O • Fixed amount of on-chip
ports. ROM, RAM, I/O ports.
• Expensive • Not Expensive
• Versatility
• Single-purpose
• General-purpose
• Special Purpose.

C based Embedded Systems
 Special purpose computer system usually completely inside
the device it controls

 Has specific requirements and performs pre-defined tasks

 Cost reduction compared to general purpose processor
