Microcontroller Interrupts

Pin 20 is the Ground Pin of the 8051 Microcontroller, representing 0V and connected to the negative terminal (0V) of the Power Supply.

Pins 21 – 28 are the PORT 2 Pins of the 8051 Microcontroller, which act as a Bidirectional Port, meaning they can function as either Input or Output pins.

Pin 29 is the Program Store Enable Pin (PSEN), which is used to read external Program Memory.

Pin 30 is the Address Latch Enable Pin, which is used to separate external address from data (as they are multiplexed by 8051). During Flash Programming, this pin acts as the program pulse input (PROG).

Pin 31 is the External Access Enable Pin, which allows external Program Memory to be accessed. Code from external program memory can be fetched only if this pin is LOW. During Flash Programming, this Pin receives 12V Programming Enable Voltage (VPP).

Pins 32 to 39 are PORT 0 Pins, which are bidirectional Input/Output Pins without any internal pull-ups. In addition to acting as I/O PORT, PORT 0 also acts as the lower order address/data bus when external memory is accessed.

Pin 40 is the power supply pin to which the supply voltage (+5V) is given.

Boolean algebra can reduce complex logical expressions to a sum of products, making it easier to design and analyze combinational logic circuits.

State machines provide an abstract model with states, inputs, outputs, and transitions to help understand the behavior of sequential systems.

Logic gates are the building blocks of digital systems, performing basic logical operations to process binary information.

Combinational circuits process inputs to produce outputs based solely on the present input values, without storing any past inputs.

Boolean algebra is used to represent and manipulate logic functions in combinational circuits, enabling efficient optimization and analysis.

Logic gates in digital systems perform specific operations by switching electronically based on signals.

Combinational circuits produce outputs based solely on the current combination of input signals and do not store internal states.

Boolean algebra is used to describe the behavior of digital electronic systems by manipulating binary values with logical operations.

The AND gate produces an output equal to the product of its binary inputs, while the OR gate gives an output equal to the logical OR of its inputs.

State machines are devices that transition between states in response to inputs, following specific rules or logic.
