    Study Notes

    8051 Addressing Modes

    • Immediate Addressing: The operand is a constant value specified directly in the instruction, making it fast. Example: MOV A, #030H loads 30 (hexadecimal) into the accumulator.
    • Register Addressing: One of the eight registers (R0-R7) is used as the operand, requiring the selection of the correct bank with the PSW register. Example: MOV A, R5 moves the content of register R5 in the selected bank to the accumulator.
    • Direct Addressing: The address of the data is specified as the operand, allowing access to any register or on-chip variable within the RAM, SFRs, I/O ports, and control registers. Example: MOV A, 47H moves the data at RAM location 47H to the accumulator.
    • Register Indirect Addressing: The address of the operand is stored in a register, typically R0 or R1, using the @ symbol. Example: MOV A, @R1 moves the data at the address stored in R1 to the accumulator.
    • Indexed Addressing: Used for look-up tables, the effective address is calculated by adding the contents of a base register (DPTR or PC) with an offset register (typically the accumulator). Example: MOVC A, @A+DPTR accesses the data at the address calculated from the sum of DPTR and accumulator.

    8051 Instruction Groups

    • Data Transfer Instructions: These instructions move data between registers, external program memory, or external data memory. Examples include MOV, MOVC, MOVX, PUSH, POP, XCH, and XCHD.
    • Arithmetic Instructions: They perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as incrementing and decrementing. Examples include ADD, ADDC, SUBB, INC, DEC, MUL, DIV, and DA A. Importantly, these instructions operate on data format without distinction, affecting flags like carry, overflow, zero, etc. in the PSW register.
    • Logical Instructions: Logical operations such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT, rotate, clear, and swap are performed on bytes of data on a bit-by-bit basis. Examples include ANL, ORL, XRL, CLR, CPL, RL, RLC, RR, RRC, and SWAP.
    • Boolean or Bit Manipulation Instructions: These instructions are used for bit variables. Examples include CLR, SETB, MOV, JC, JNC, JB, JNB, JBC, ANL, ORL, and CPL.
    • Program Branching Instructions: Control program execution flow through jumps and conditional jumps. Examples include JMP, JNZ, JZ, and JC.

    External Memory Interfacing

    • Why external memory? 8051's internal memory is limited (128 bytes of RAM, 4KB of ROM). External memory allows for larger programs, storage of more data, and greater flexibility in applications.
    • Accessing External ROM/Program Memory: The 8051 can address up to 64KB of external ROM through the MOVC instruction. The EA (External Access) pin enables or disables external program memory access.
    • Accessing External Data Memory: Up to 64KB of external RAM can be accessed through the MOVX instruction. The 8051's internal data memory is divided into Lower 128 bytes, Upper 128 bytes, and SFRs.
    • Key Points for External Memory Access: External data moves through the A register. The 8051 uses R for addressing 256 bytes and DPTR for addressing 64KB in external memory.
    • Memory Address Decoding: Each register in external memory has a unique address, enabling access to a specific location within the memory.
    • Instructions to Access External Memory: Instructions like MOVC for external ROM and MOVX for external RAM are used to access the external memory.
    • Timing Waveforms: Specific timing waveforms are used for external data memory read and write cycles. These timings involve signals like ALE for address latching and PSEN for activating external memories.

    Timer Interrupts

    • Timer Interrupts: Used for time-critical operations and repeated actions at specific intervals. They interrupt the main program execution to perform functions like setting flags, updating states, etc.
    • Timer Interrupt Considerations:
      • ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) routines should be fast to ensure minimal interruption.
      • Timer interrupts are based on hardware timers, which have a limited number depending on the microcontroller.
      • Only volatile variables should be used inside ISR to guarantee their values are accessible both inside and outside the interrupt.
      • Timer interrupts may interfere with other functionality (like PWM) depending on the specific timer used.
    • Calculation details:
      • Timer speed depends on the timer clock speed and the chosen prescaler: timer speed (Hz) = Timer clock speed (Mhz) / prescaler.
      • The prescaler is used to scale the timer interrupt frequency to desired values.
      • A compare match register (for some boards like AVR) is used to configure the timer to trigger an interrupt after specific timer ticks.
      • Formula for calculating compare match register: compare match register = [ 16,000,000Hz/ (prescaler * desired interrupt frequency) ] - 1.
