Tutorial Session on

Microcontroller/Kit
Presenter: Engr. Mohammad Faisal Haider Paracha.
Venue: Microprocessors and Digital Systems, Lab
Timings: 08:30~11:00

What is a Microcontroller/Microprocessor?
Microcontrollers and Microprocessors are
widely used in Embedded Systems.
An
embedded
product
uses
a
Microcontroller/Microprocessor,
that
performs only one task.
Some Embedded Systems are: keyboard,
printer, modem, disk controller, sound card,
CD-ROM driver, mouse and so on.

What are the differences b/w

Microcontroller and Microprocessor?
A Microcontroller is an Integrated Circuit that
contains CPU, RAM, ROM, Timers, I/O pins, Serial
COM Port on the one chip. Designer just have to
use the IC up to the requirements, just plug and
play. Less versatile.
A Microprocessor is an Integrated Circuit that
does not contain RAM, ROM, Timers, I/O pins,
Serial COM Port on its chip. Designers have to
add the above peripherals up to the
requirements. More versatile.

Overview of the 8051 Family

In 1981, Intel Corporation introduced an 8-bit
microcontroller called the 8051.
8-bit microcontroller means that its CPU can
work only on 8-bits of data at a time.
It has 4k bytes of ROM, 128 bytes of RAM, 2
Timers, 32 I/O pins, 1 Serial Port, 6 interrupt
sources.
What will happen if the data is larger than 8bits?

What is the Trainer Board?

A Trainer Board allow us to test the different
source codes.
In Universities these trainers could be help full for
students to visualize the actual working of the
program; so that they will be able to make their
concepts better.
The trainers have a number of devices interfaced
with the Microcontroller.
We could be able to implement number of
experiments on these trainers.

Some Famous Experiments of 8051

Examining the cy flag and the stack

To examine the I/O port operation using a simulator.
To code a program to transfer data from code ROM space into RAM locations.
To write a program to convert data from hex to ASCII to BCD.
To test the 8051 system and its ports.
Interfacing An LCD To The 8051
Interfacing adc804/809/848 to the 8051 trainer
Interfacing a sensor to the 8051
Timer programming
8051 serial interfacing
Interfacing a stepper motor to the 8051
Event counter programming
Interrupt programming
And many more

RS-232 Communication Module

It is commonly used for data transfer between
microcontroller & PC
Since the voltage levels of Microcontroller and
PC are not directly compatible with each other
so a level converter such as MAX 232 must be
used.

On Board Programmer
There is no need to connect external
programmer.
All you just need to connect the trainer board
with the PC and Burn the program using the
Burner software, and visualize the functionality of
the program.
There is one button marked as reset, when
programmer press Reset button microcontroller
will start to execute the program from the first
line.

How can we burn a Program on to the IC chip?

Attach your PC with the Trainer Board.

Insert an IC (89S51) in to the ZIF socket.
Move the switch to the programmer side.
Power ON the trainer board, by using an external power supply.
Open the burning software on to the PC.
Select the number of your Chip.
Read the Chip.
Erase the earlier program if any;
Burn the new program (specified by the path of the .HEX file,
generated by the assembler) on to the IC chip.
Move the switch back to the trainer side.
Enjoy the program!
