Embedded System

Embedded system means the processor is embedded into

that application. An embedded product uses a microprocessor or microcontroller to do one task only. In an embedded system, there is only one application software that is typically burned into ROM.

Exampleprinter, keyboard, video game player,

microwave oven etc.

Perform a single task Usually not general purpose. Increasingly high performance. Power, cost and reliability. HW-SW systems Software is used for more features and flexibility Hardware (processors, memory etc. are used for

performance and security.

Vcc provides supply voltage to the chip.


The voltage source is +5V. GNDpin 20ground XTAL1 and XTAL2pins 19,18.

RSTpin 9reset

It is an input pin and is active highnormally low.


The high pulse must be high at least 2. It is a power-on reset. Upon applying a high pulse to RST, the

microcontroller will reset and all values in registers will be lost. All values of 8051 registers will be Reset.

/EApin 31external access


There is no on-chip ROM in 8031 and 8032 .
The /EA pin is connected to GND to indicate the code is

stored externally. /PSEN ALE are used for external ROM. For 8051, /EA pin is connected to Vcc. / means active low. /PSENpin 29program store enable This is an output pin and is connected to the OE pin of the ROM.

ALEpin 30address latch enable It is an output pin and is active high. 8051 port 0 provides both address and data. The ALE pin is used for de-multiplexing the address

and data by connecting to the G pin of the 74LS373 latch. I/O port pins The four ports P0, P1, P2, and P3. Each port uses 8 pins. All I/O pins are bi-directional.
