Why do we need to learn Microcontrollers ?
• Its not an exaggeration if I say that ,today there is no
electronic gadget on the earth which is designed without
a Microcontroller. Ex: communication devices, digital
entertainment, portable devices etc…
Not believable ??? See the next slide

• Personal information products: Cell phone, pager, watch, pocket
recorder, calculator
• Laptop components: mouse, keyboard, modem, fax card, sound
card, battery charger
• Home appliances: door lock, alarm clock, thermostat, air
conditioner, TV remote, VCR, small refrigerator, exercise
equipment, washer/dryer, microwave oven
• Industrial equipment: Temperature/pressure controllers,
Counters, timers, RPM Controllers
• Toys: video games, cars, dolls, etc.

So, A good designer should always know
what type of controller he/she is using ,their
architecture, advantages , disadvantages , ways
to reduce production costs and product
reliability etc….

Then What is a Microcontroller ?
• A smaller computer
• On-chip RAM, ROM, I/O ports...

How is it different from a

Microprocessor
 CPU is stand-alone, RAM,
ROM, I/O, timer are separate
 designer can decide on the
amount of ROM, RAM and
I/O ports.
 expansive
 versatility
 general-purpose
Microcontroller
• CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O and
timer are all on a single chip
• fix amount of on-chip ROM,
RAM, I/O ports
• Highly bit addressable
• for applications in which cost,
power and space are critical
• single-purpose
Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller

EVOLUTION
Flashback !!!!
In the year 1976, Motorola created a Microprocessor chip called 6801
which replaced its brother 6800 with certain add-on chips to make
a computer. This paved the way for the new revolution in the history
of chip design and gave birth to a new entity called
MICROCONTROLLER.
The INTEL bagged the credit of producing the first Microcontroller
8048 with a CPU and 1K bytes of EPROM, 64 Bytes of RAM an 8-Bit
Timer and 27 I/O pins in 1976.

Evolution contd…
• Then followed the most popular controller 8051 in the year 1980
with 4K bytes of ROM,128 Bytes of RAM , a serial port, two 16-bit
Timers , and 32 I/O pins.
• The 8051 family has many additions and improvements over the
years and remains a most soughtafter tool for todays circuit
designers.
• The same INTEL introduced a 16 bit controller 8096 in the year
1982

• Later INTEL introduced 80c196 series of 16-bit
microcontrollers for mainly industrial applications
• Microchip, another company has introduced a
microcontroller PIC 16C64 an 8-bit in the year 1985.
• 32-bit microcontrollers have been developed by IBM and
Motorola-MPC 505 is a 32-bit RISC controller of Motorola
• The 403 GA is a 32 -bit RISC embedded controller of IBM

ARM Controllers
• In recent times ARM company (Advanced Risc machines) has
developed and introduced 32 bit controllers which are highend
application devices,especially communication devices like mobiles ,
ipods etc..(Refer www.arm.com)

Pin Description of the 8051
• The 8051 is a 40 pin
device, but out of these 40
pins, 32 are used for I/O.
• 24 of these are dual
purpose, i.e. they can
operate as I/O or a control
line or as part of address
or date bus.

 Three criteria in Choosing a 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.

 It is a ‘mid-level’, with ‘high-level’ features (such as
support for functions and modules), and ‘low-level’
features (such as good access to hardware via pointers)
 C is the most common Embedded language 85%, of
embedded applications are coded in C.
 It directly manipulates the hardware and memory
addresses.
 Cx51 Cross compiler supports all of the ANSI Standard C
directives.

8051 Memory Areas
• The 8051 architecture supports a number of
physically separate memory areas for program and data.
Each memory area offers certain advantages and
disadvantages.
 Program Memory code
 Internal Data memory bdata, data, idata
 External Data memory xdata, pdata
34

35
 code: Program memory (64 Kbytes); accessed by opcode
MOVC A, @A+DPTR.
 data: Directly addressable internal data memory; fastest
access to full internal address space (256 bytes).
 idata: Indirectly addressable internal data memory; accessed
across the internal address space (128 bytes).
 bdata: Bit-addressable internal data memory; allows mixed bit
and byte access (16 bytes).
 xdata: External data memory (64 Kbytes); accessed by opcode
MOVX @DPTR.
 pdata: Paged (256 bytes) external data memory; accessed by
opcode . MOVX @Rn.
Explicitly declaredMemorytypes

36
Memory models
 The memory model determines which default memory type to
use for automatic variables, and declarations with no explicit
memory type specifier.
 If the memory type specifier is omitted in a variable
declaration, the default or implicit memory type is
automatically selected.
 Automatic variables which cannot be located in registers are
also stored in the default memory area.
 The default memory type is determined by the SMALL,
COMPACT and LARGE compiler control directives.

Small Model: Internal RAM128 bytes
 All variables, by default, reside in the internal data memory
of the 8051 system.
 It is the same as if they were declared explicitly using the
data memory --type specifier.
 Variable access is very efficient. Stack size is critical because
the real stack size depends upon the nesting depth of the
various functions.
 Using this memory model, the number of global variables
must be kept to a minimum to allow. However the amount of
space required for the stack must be kept in mind.
37

Compact Model: RAM256bytes off-chip
 All variables, by default, reside in one page of external
data memory.
 It is as if they were explicitly declared using the pdata
memory type specifier. This memory model can
accommodate a maximum of 256 bytes of variables. The
limitation is due to the addressing scheme used, which is
indirect through registers R0 and R1 (@R0, @R1.
38

Compact Model: RAM256bytes off-chip
 The compact model is rarely used for an entire
program, but more
 usual in combination with the SMALL switch
reserved for interrupt routines.
 COMPACT is especially useful for programs with
a large number of
 medium speed 8 bit variables.
39

Large Model: Total RAMup to 64KB
In this model, all variables, by default, reside in external
data memory (up to 64 Kbytes).
 It is the same as if they were explicitly declared using the
xdata memory type specifier.
 Memory access through this data pointer is inefficient,
especially on variables with a length of two or more bytes.
 This type of data access mechanism generates more code
than the small or compact models, Permits slow access to a
very large memory space .

What is a Keypad ?
 Collection of keys interfaced to
the microcontroller
 Arranged in the form of two
dimensional matrix
 Matrix arrangement used for
