DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION
1.INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEM
1.1 Introduction
Microcontroller are widely used in Embedded System products. An Embedded product uses
the microprocessor(or microcontroller) to do one task & one task only. A printer is an
example of Embedded system since the processor inside it perform one task only namely
getting the data and printing it. Although microcontroller are preferred choice for many
Embedded systems, There are times that a microcontroller is inadequate for the task. For this
reason in recent years many manufactures of general purpose microprocessors such as
INTEL, Motorolla, AMD & Cyrix have targeted their microprocessors for the high end of
Embedded market.One of the most critical needs of the embedded system is to decrease
power consumptions and space. This can be achieved by integrating more functions into the
CPU chips. All the embedded processors have low power consumptions in additions to some
forms of I/O,ROM all on a single chip. In higher performance Embedded system the trend is
to integrate more & more function on the CPU chip & let the designer decide which feature
he/she wants to use.
1.2 Embedded System
An Embedded System employs a combination of hardware & software to perform a specific
function. Software is used for providing features and flexibility hardware (Processors,
Memory, etc.) is used for performance & sometimes security. An embedded system is a
special purpose system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it
controls. Unlike a general purpose computer, such as a PC, an embedded system performs
predefined task’s usually with very specific tasks design engineers can optimize it reducing
the size and cost of the product. Embedded systems are often mass produced, so the cost
savings may be multiplied by millions of items. The core of any embedded system is formed
by one or several microprocessor or micro controller programmed to perform a small number
of tasks. In contrast to a general purpose computer, which can run any software application,
the user chooses, the software on an embedded system is semi-permanent, so it is often called
firmware.

does not know what the customer will do, while embedded system is Application
Specific.
c) Numerous embedded system make up the computer
d) Tightly constrained: Embedded system design is tightly constraint. Important factors to
be considered are as cost, size, performance, andpower.
e) Reactiveandreal-time:
 Continually reacts to changes in the system’s environment.

1.5. Components of an Embedded Systems
a) Embedded hardware:-It mainly consists of a microcontroller with various peripheral IC’s.
b) Embedded RTO’S:-All intelligent devices that perform complex functions have an
embedded operating system inside.
c) Device drivers :-The software that acts as a glue between the operating system and the
peripheral device is called the device driver
d) Communication stacks:-If the embedded device is capable of communicating to the
external world,it has a communication software stack running on the top of operating
system.
e) Embedded application:-It performs the predefined function of the embedded device.

1.6. Features of an Embedded System
Embedded systems do a very specific task they cannot be programmed to do different things.
a) Embedded systems have very limited resources, particularly the memory. Generally, they
do not have secondary storage devices such as the CDROM or the floppy disk.
b) Embedded systems have to work against some deadlines. A specific job has to be
completed within a specific time. In some embedded systems, called real-time systems,
the deadlines are stringent. Missing a dead line may cause a catastrophe – loss of life or
damage to property.
c) Embedded systems are constrained for power, as many embedded systems operate
through a battery; the power consumption has to be very low.
d) Embedded systems need to be highly reliable. Once in a while, pressing ALT-CTRL-
DEL is OK on your desktop, but you cannot afford to reset your embedded system.
e) Some embedded systems have to operate in extreme environmental conditions such as
very high temperatures and humidity.
f) Embedded systems that address the consumer market (for example electronic toys) are
very cost-effective. Even a reduction of Rs.10 is lot of cost saving, because thousands or
millions systems may be sold.
g) Unlike desktop computers in which the hardware platform is dominated by Intel and the
operating system is dominated by Microsoft, there is a wide variety of processors and
operating systems for the embedded systems. So, choosing the right platform is the most
complex task.
1.7. Classification of Embedded Systems
Based on functionality and performance requirements, embedded systems are classified as:
a) Stand-alone Embedded Systems
b) Real-time Embedded Systems
c) Networked Information Appliances
d) Mobile Devices

5
a. Stand-Alone Embedded Systems
As the name implies, stand-alone systems work in stand-alone mode. They take inputs,
process them and produce the desired output. The input can be electrical signals from
transducers or commands from a human being such as the pressing of a button. The output
can be electrical signals to drive another system, an LED display or LCD display for
displaying of information to the users. Embedded systems used in process control,
automobiles, consumer electronic items etc. fall into this category.
b. Real-Time Systems
Embedded systems in which some specific work has to be done in a specific time period are
called real-time systems. For example, consider a system that has to open a valve within 30
milliseconds when the humidity crosses a particular threshold. If the valve is not opened
within 30 milliseconds, a catastrophe may occur. Such systems with strict deadlines are
called hardreal-time systems.
In some embedded systems, deadlines are imposed, but not adhering to them once in a
while may not lead to a catastrophe. For example, consider a DVD player. Suppose, you
give a command to the DVD player from a remote control, and there is a delay of a few
milliseconds in executing that command. But, this delay won’t lead to a serious implication.
Such systems are called softreal-timesystems.
c. Networked Information Appliances
Embedded systems that are provided with network interfaces and accessed by networks such
as Local Area Network or the Internet are called networked information appliances. Such
embedded systems are connected to a network, typically a network running TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol suite, such as the Internet or a
company’s Intranet.
These systems have emerged in recent years. These systems run the protocol TCP/IP stack
and get connected through PPP or Ethernet to a network and communicate with other nodes
in the network.
Here are some examples of such systems

6
 A networked process control system consists of a number of embedded systems
connected as a local area network. Each embedded system can send real-time data to a
central location from where the entire process control system can be monitored. The
monitoring can be done using a web browser such as the Internet Explorer.
 A web camera can be connected to the Internet. The web camera can send pictures in
real-time to any computer connected to the Internet. In such a case, the web camera has
to run the HTTP server software in addition to the TCP/IP protocol stack.
 The door lock of your home can be a small embedded system with TCP/IP and HTTP
server software running on it. When your children stand in front of the door lock after
they return from school, the web camera in the door-lock will send an alert to your
desktop over the Internet and then you can open the door-lock through a click of the
mouse.
d. Mobile Devices
Mobile devices such as mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), smart phones etc.
are a special category of embedded systems. Though the PDAs do many general purpose
tasks, they need to be designed just like the ‘conventional’ embedded systems.
The limitations of the mobile devices – memory constraints, small size, lack of good user
interfaces such as full-fledged keyboard and display etc. are same as those found in the
embedded systems discussed above. Hence, mobile devices are considered as embedded
systems.
However, the PDAs are now capable of supporting general purpose application software such
as word processors, games, etc.
1.8. Advantage
a) They are designed to do a specific task and have real time performance constraints which
must be met.
b) They allow the system hardware to be simplified so costs are reduced.

7
c) They are usually in the form of small computerized parts in larger devices which serve a
general purpose.
d) The program instructions for embedded systems run with limited computer hardware
resources, little memory and small or even non-existent keyboard or screen.

2. MICROCONTROLLERS
2.1. Introduction
Circumstances that we find ourselves in today in the field of microcontrollers had their
beginnings in the development of technology of integrated circuits. This development has
made it possible to store hundreds of thousands of transistors into one chip. That was a
prerequisite for production of microprocessors, and the first computers were made by adding
external peripherals such as memory, input-output lines, timers and other. Further increasing
of the volume of the package resulted in creation of integrated circuits. These integrated
circuits contained both processor and peripherals. That is how the first chip containing a
microcomputer, or what would later be known as a microcontroller came about.
The first microcontroller 8051 was developed by Intel Corporation in the year 1981. it was
called as a “System on a chip”. Intel refers to it as MCS-51 now.
Figure2.1: Microcontroller IC
2.2. Definition of a Microcontroller
Microcontroller, as the name suggests, are small controllers. They are like single chip
computers that are often embedded into other systems to function as processing/controlling
unit. For example, the remote control you are using probably has microcontrollers inside that

9
do decoding and other controlling functions. They are also used in automobiles,
washingmachines, microwave ovens, toys etc. where automation is needed.
The key features of microcontrollers include:
a) High Integration of Functionality
b) Microcontrollers sometimes are called single-chip computers because they have on-chip
memory and I/O circuitry and other circuitries that enable them to function as small
standalone computers without other supporting circuitry.
c) Field Programmability, Flexibility
d) Microcontrollers often use EEPROM or EPROM as their storage device to allow field
Programmability so they are flexible to use. Once the program is tested to be correct
then large quantities of microcontrollers can be programmed to be used in embedded systems.
e) Easy to Use
Assembly language is often used in microcontrollers and since they usually
followRISC architecture, the instruction set is small. The development package
ofmicrocontrollers often includes an assembler, a simulator, a programmer to "burn" the chip
and a demonstration board. Some packages include a high level languagecompiler such as a
C compiler and more sophisticated libraries.
Most microcontrollers will also combine other devices such as:
a) A Timer module to allow the microcontroller to perform tasks for certain time
periods.
b) A serial I/O port to allow data to flow between the microcontroller and other devices such
as a PC or another microcontroller.
c) An ADC to allow the microcontroller to accept analogue input data for processing.

2.3. 8051 Architecture
2.3.1. About the 8051
The Intel 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller which means that most available operations are
limited to 8 bits. There are 3 basic "sizes" of the 8051: Short, Standard, and Extended. The
Short and Standard chips are often available in DIP (dual in-line package) form, but the
Extended 8051 models often have a different form factor, and are not "drop-in compatible".

11
2.3.2. Block Diagram
Figure2.3: 8051 architecture
All these things are called 8051 because they can all be programmed using 8051 assembly
language, and they all share certain features (although the different models all have their own
special features).Some of the features that have made the 8051 popular are:
a) 4 KB on chip program memory.
b) 128 bytes on chip data memory (RAM).
c) 4 register banks.
d) 8-bit data bus
e) 16-bit address bus

12
f) 32 general purpose registers each of 8 bits
g) 16 bit timers (usually 2, but may have more, or less).
h) 3 internal and 2 external interrupts.
i) Bit as well as byte addressable RAM area of 16 bytes.
j) Four 8-bit ports, (short models have two 8-bit ports).
k) 16-bit program counter and data pointer.
l) 1 Microsecond instruction cycle with 12 MHz Crystal.
m) 8051 models may also have a number of special, model-specific features, such as UARTs,
ADC, OpAmp, etc.
2.4. Pin out Description

The pins of the micro controller are explained below:

13
I/O Ports:Four 8-bit I/O ports.
Most have alternate functions.
Port 0 (pin 32-39)
Dual purpose I/O port.
In min. component design, it is used as a general purpose I/O port. In

Reset Circuit and Clock Circuit
Figure2.5: Reset circuit of microcontroller
Crystal Oscillator:
A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating
crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency.
This frequency is commonly used to keep track of time (as in quartz wristwatches), to
provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for
radio transmitters and receivers. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is the
quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits designed around them were called "crystal oscillators".

Family Members Of 8051
Table: Family members of 8051
RAM Architecture
Figure2.7: Ram Architecture
The 8051 has a bank of 128 bytes of InternalRAM. This Internal RAM is found on-
chipon the 8051 so it is the fastest RAM available, and it is also the most flexible in terms of
reading, writing, and modifying its contents. Internal RAM is volatile, so when the 8051 is
reset this memory is cleared. The 128 bytes of internal ram is subdivided as shown on the
memory map. The first 8 bytes (00h - 07h) are "register bank 0". These alternative register

17
banks are located in internal RAM in addresses 08h through 1Fh.Bit memory actually resides
in internal RAM, from addresses 20h through 2Fh. The 80 bytes remaining of Internal RAM,
from addresses 30h through 7Fh, may be used by user variables that need to be accessed
frequently or at high-speed. This area is also utilized by the microcontroller as a storage area
for the operating stack.
Register Banks
The 8051 uses 8 "R" registers which are used in many of its instructions. These "R"
registers are numbered from 0 through 7 (R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7).These
registers are generally used to assist in manipulating values and moving data from one
memory location to another. The concept of register banks adds a great level of flexibility to
the 8051.
Bit Memory
The 8051, being a communication oriented microcontroller, gives the user the ability
to access a number of bitvariables. These variables may be either 1 or 0. There are 128 bit
variables available to the user, numbered 00h through 7Fh. The user may make use of these
variables with commands such as SETB and CLR. It is important to note that Bit Memory is
really a part of Internal RAM. In fact, the 128 bit variables occupy the 16 bytes of Internal
RAM from 20h through 2Fh.
Special Function Register (SFR) Memory
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are areas of memory that control specific
functionality of the 8051 processor. For example, four SFRs permit access to the 8051’s 32
input/output lines. Another SFR allows a program to read or write to the 8051’s serial port
.SFR is a part of Internal Memory. This is not the case. When using this method of memory
access (it’s called direct address), any instruction that has an address of 00h through 7Fh
refers to an Internal RAM memory address; any instruction with an address of 80h through
FFH refers to an SFR control register.
Registers
The Accumulator

18
The Accumulator, as its name suggests, is used as a general register to accumulate the
results of a large number of instructions. It can hold an 8-bit (1-byte) value and is the most
versatile register.
The "R" registers
The "R" registers are a set of eight registers that are named R0, R1, etc. up to and
including R7. These registers are used as auxiliary registers in many operations.
The "B" Register
The "B" register is very similar to the Accumulator in the sense that it may hold an 8-
bit (1-byte) value. The "B" register is only used by two 8051 instructions: MULAB and
DIVAB.
The Data Pointer (DPTR)
The Data Pointer (DPTR) is the 8051’s only user-accessible 16-bit (2-byte) register.
The Accumulator, "R" registers, and "B" register are all 1-byte values. DPTR, as the name
suggests, is used to point to data. It is used by a number of commands which allow the 8051
to access external memory.
The Program Counter (PC)
The Program Counter (PC) is a 2-byte address which tells the 8051 where the next
instruction to execute is found in memory. When the 8051 is initialized PC always starts at
0000h and is incremented each time an instruction is executed.
.The Stack Pointer (SP)
The Stack Pointer, like all registers except DPTR and PC, may hold an 8-bit (1-byte)
value. The Stack Pointer is used to indicate where the next value to be removed from the
stack should be .
Interrupts
An interrupt is a special feature which allows the 8051 to provide the illusion of
"multitasking," although in reality the 8051 is only doing one thing at a time.

19
Timers
Timers are one of the categories of hardware time delays. Time delays are used to
keep a system into halting System or sleepy mode. We have two timers-timer0,
timer1.Hardware time delays are used to generate exact time delays.
Central Processing Unit
Let add 3 more memory locations to a specific block that will have a built in capability to
multiply, divide, subtract, and move its contents from one memory location onto another. The
part we just added in is called "central processing unit" (CPU). Its memory locations are
called registers. Registers are therefore memory locations whose role is to help with
performing various mathematical operations or any other operations with data wherever data
can be found. Look at the current situation. We have two independent entities (memory and
CPU) which are interconnected, and thus any exchange of data is hindered, as well as its
functionality. If, for example, we wish to add the contents of two memory locations and
return the result again back to memory, we would need a connection between memory and
CPU. Simply stated, we must have some "way" through data goes from one block to another.
Figure2.8: Simplified central processing unit with three registers
2.5. Typical applications
8051 chips are used in a wide variety of control systems, telecom applications, and robotics
as well as in the automotive industry. By some estimation, 8051 family chips make up over

20
50% of the embedded chip market.The 8051 has been in use in a wide number of devices,
mainly because it is easy to integrate into a project or build a device around. The following
are the main areas of focus:
a) Energy Management:Efficient metering systems help in controlling energy usage in
homes and industrial applications. These metering systems are made capable by
incorporating microcontrollers.
b) Touch screens:A high number of microcontroller providers incorporate touch-sensing
capabilities in their designs. Portable electronics such as cell phones, media players and
gaming devices are examples of microcontroller-based touch screens.
c) Automobiles: The 8051 finds wide acceptance in providing automobile solutions. They
are widely used in hybrid vehicles to manage engine variants. Additionally, functions
such as cruise control and anti-brake system have been made more efficient with the use
of microcontrollers. So the microcontroller 8051 has great advantage in the field of the
automobiles.
d) Medical Devices: Portable medical devices such as blood pressure and glucose monitors
e) use microcontrollers will to display data, thus providing higher reliability in providing
medical results.

3. INTERFACING
Transfer of data between microcontrollers and peripherals (memory, I/O devices etc.)
implemented using buses called interfacing.Connecting the computation capabilities of a
microcontroller to external signals or to external world.Creating man-machine interaction.
3.1. Need of Interfacing
a) The basic need is to have some input/output peripherals and man-machine interface.
b) Interactions with a computer or TV are possible using the mouse /keyboard/display
screen.
c) The no. of real world devices and systems like mobile phone and washing m/c need the
keypad and display to enable human-computer interactions.

22
3.2. Interfacing With Led:-
Like a normal diode, an LED consists of a chip of semiconducting material impregnated, or
doped, with impurities to create a p-n junction. As in other diodes, current flows easily from
the p-side, or anode, to the n-side, or cathode, but not in the reverse direction. Charge-
carriers—electrons and holes—flow into the junction from electrodes with different voltages.
Figure3.2: LED Interfacing of 8051 Microcontroller Circuit Diagram
When an electron meets a hole, it falls into a lower energy level, and releases energy in the
form of a photon. The wavelength of the light emitted, and therefore its color, depends on the
band gap energy of the materials forming the p-n junction. In silicon or germanium diodes,
theelectrons and holes recombine by a non-radiatetransition which produces no optical
emission, because these are indirect band gap materials. The materials used for an LED have
a direct band gap with energies corresponding to near-infrared, visible or near-ultraviolet
light. LED development began with infrared and red devices made with gallium arsenide.
Advances in materials science have made possible the production of devices with ever-
shorter wavelengths, producing light in a variety ofcolors.Conventional LEDs are made from
a variety of inorganic semiconductor materials, producing the following colors:
Aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) — red and infrared

23
Aluminium gallium phosphide (AlGaP) — green
Aluminium gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) — high-brightness
orange-red, orange, yellow, and green
Gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) — red, orange-red, orange, and yellow
Gallium phosphide (GaP) — red, yellow and green
Gallium nitride (GaN) — green, pure green (or emerald green), and blue
also white (if it has an AlGaN Quantum Barrier)

3.3. LCD Interfacing
3.3.1. Pin Configuration
Figure3.3: pin configuration for 16 X 2 LCD
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. The most commonly used LCDs found in the market
today are 1 Line, 2 Line or 4 Line LCDs which have only 1 controller and support at most of
80characters.
8 data pins D7:D0
Bi-directional data/command pins. Alphanumeric characters are sent in ASCII format.
RS: Register Select

25
RS=0->Command Register is selected
RS = 1 -> Data Register is selected
R/W: Read or Write
0 -> Write, 1 -> Read
E: Enable (Latch data)
Used to latch the data present on the data pins.A high-to-low edge is needed to latch the data.
VEE : contrast control.
3.3.2. Ddram - Display Data Ram
Display data RAM (DDRAM) stores display data represented in 8-bit character codes. Its
extended capacity is 80 X 8 bits, or 80 characters. The area in display data RAM (DDRAM)
that is not used for display can be used as general data RAM. So whatever you send on the
DDRAM is actually displayed on the LCD.
3.3.3. BF - Busy Flag
Busy Flag is a status indicator flag for LCD. When we send a command or data to the LCD
for processing, this flag is set (i.e. BF =1) and as soon as the instruction is executed
successfully this flag is cleared (BF = 0). This is helpful in producing and exact amount of
delay. For the LCD processing. To read Busy Flag, the condition RS = 0 and R/W = 1 must
be met and The MSB of the LCD data bus (D7) act as busy flag. When BF = 1 means LCD is
busy and will not accept next command or data and BF = 0 means LCD is ready for the next
command or data to process.
3.3.4. Instruction Register (IR) and Data Register (DR)
There are two 8-bit registers controller Instruction and Data register. Instruction register
corresponds to the register where you send commands to LCD e.g. LCD shift command,
LCD clear, LCD address etc. and Data register is used for storing data which is to be
displayed on LCD. When send the enable signal of the LCD is asserted, the data on the pins

26
is latched in to the data register and data is then moved automatically to the DDRAM and
hence is displayed on the LCD.
3.3.5. INTERFACING LCD TO 8051
Figure3.4: Circuit of Interfacing LCD To 8051
The LCD requires 3 control lines as well as either 4 or 8 I/O lines for the data bus. The user
may select whether the LCD is to operate with a 4-bit data bus or an 8-bit data bus. If a 4-bit
data bus is used, the LCD will require a total of 7 data lines. If an 8-bit data bus is used, the
LCD will require a total of 11 data lines.The three control lines are EN, RS, and RW. Note
that the EN line must be raised/lowered before/after each instruction sent to the LCD
regardless of whether that instruction is read or write, text or instruction EN is the LCD's way
of knowing that you are talking to it. If you don't raise/lower EN, the LCD doesn't know
you're talking to it on the other lines.
3.3.6. LCD Commands
Commands and Instruction set
Only the instruction register (IR) and the data register (DR) of the LCD can be controlled by
the MCU. Before starting the internal operation of the LCD, control information is
temporarily stored into these registers to allow interfacing with various MCUs, which operate

27
at different speeds, or various peripheral control devices. The internal operation of the LCD is
determined by signals sent from the MCU.
Sending Commands to LCD
To send commands we simply need to select the command register. Everything is same as we
have done in the initialization routine. But we will summarize the common steps and put
them in a single subroutine.
Following are the steps:
a) Move data to LCD port
b) Select command register
c) Select write operation
d) Send enable signal
e) Wait for LCD to process the command

a) E=1; enable pin should be high
b) RS=1; Register select should be high for writing the data
c) Placing the data on the data registers
d) R/W=0; Read/Write pin should be low for writing the data.
3.4. KEYPAD INTERFACING
3.4.1. Introduction
Keypads are a part of HMI or Human Machine Interface and play really important role in a
small embedded system where human interaction or human input is needed. Matrix keypads
are well known for their simple architecture and ease of interfacing with any microcontroller.
3.4.2. Constructing a Matrix keypad
Construction of a keypad is really simple. As per the outline shown in the figure below we
have four rows and four columns.
Figure3.5: Matrix Keypad

30
In between each overlapping row and column line there is a key. So keeping this outline we
can construct a keypad using simple SPST Switches as shown below:
3.4.3. Scanning a Matrix Keypad
There are many methods depending on how you connect your keypad with your controller,
but the basic logic is same. We make the columns as i/p and we drive the rows making them
o/p, this whole procedure of reading the keyboard is called scanning.
In order to detect which key is pressed from the matrix, we make row lines low one by one
and read the columns. Let’s say we first make Row1 low, and then read the columns. If any
of the key in row1 is pressed will make the corresponding column as low i.e. if second key is
pressed in Row1, then column2 will give low. So we come to know that key 2 of Row1 is
pressed. This is how scanning is done.
So to scan the keypad completely, we need to make rows low one by one and read the
columns. If any of the button is pressed in a row, it will take the corresponding column to a
low state which tells us that a key is pressed in that row. If button 1 of a row is pressed then
Column 1 will become low, if button 2 then column2 and so on.

3.5. Seven Segment LEDs
Figure3.7: 7 segment display
3.5.1. Introduction
The 7 segment display can also be used for displaying numbers. Each of the segments of the
display is connected to a pin on the 8051. In order to light up a segment on the pin must be
set to 0V. To turn a segment off the corresponding pin must be set to 5V. This is simply done
by setting the pins on the 8051 to '1' or '0'.LED displays are Power-hungry (10mA per LED)
and Pin-hungry (8 pins per 7-seg display). But they are cheaper than LCD display.
7-SEG Display are available in two types -1. Common anode & 2.common cathode , but
command anode display are most suitable for interfacing with 8051 since 8051 port pins can
sink current better than sourcing it.

32
Seven segment displays are used to indicate numerical information. Seven segments display
can display digits from 0 to 9 and even we can display few characters like A, b, C, H, E, e, F,
etc. These are very popular and have many more applications.
3.5.2. Interfacing 7 Segment Display to 8051 Circuit Principle:
Seven segment displays internally consist of 8 LEDs. In these LEDs, 7 LEDs are used to
indicate the digits 0 to 9 and single LED is used for indicating decimal point. Generally seven
segments are two types, one is common cathode and the other is common anode.

}
3.5.3. Digit Drive Pattern:
To display the digits on 7 segment, we need to glow different logic combinations of
segments. For example if you want to display the digit 3 on seven segment then you need to
glow the segments a, b, c, d and g. The below table show you the Hex decimal values what
we need to send from PORT2 to Display the digits from 0 to 9.
Digit h g f e D c b a Hex value
0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0x3f
1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0x06
2 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0x5b

6 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0x7d
7 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0x07
8 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0x7f

4. C PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES FOR 8051
4.1. WHY USE C?
a) 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).
b) It is very efficient.
c) It is popular and well understood.
d) Even desktop developers who have used only Java or C++ can soon understand C syntax.
e) Good, well-proven compilers are available for every embedded processor (8-bit to 32-bit
or more).
4.2. Key Features Of Embedded C-
a) It is easy and less time consuming to write in C than Assembly.
b) C is easier to modify and update.
c) You can use code available in function libraries.
d) C code is portable to other microcontroller with little or no modification.
e) A good understanding of C data types for 8051 can help programmers to create smaller
hex files.

4.4. Supports following data types-
a) unsigned char, signed char
b) unsigned int, signed int,
c) Single bit: sbit(SFR) , bit (bit-addressable RAM)
d) Special function register: SFR
Data type Size Range
 bit 1-bit RAM bit-addressable only
 sbit 1-bit SFR bit-addressable only
 (signed) int 16-bit -32768 to +32767
 unsigned int 16-bit 0 to 65535
 (signed) char 8-bit -128 to +127
 unsigned char 8-bit 0 to 255
//SFR= specific function register.
Unsigned Char
a) The most widely used data types for the 8051
b) 8-bitdata type
c) The range of unsigned char: 0-255(00-FFH)
d) When do you use unsigned char?
–To set counter value.

38
–The string of ASCII character .
–For toggling ports.
Signed Char
a) 8-bitdata type.
b) 2’s complement representation.
c) The range of unsigned char: -128:+127(00-FFH)
d) When do you use signed char?
–To present a given quantity such as temperature.
Integer
a) 16-bitdata type
–The range of unsigned int: 0-65535
–The range of signed int: -32,768-32,767
b) Since the 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller and the int data type takes two bytes of RAM,
we must not use the intdata type unless we have to.
c) You should try to use unsigned char instead on int.
Access Single Bit of SFR
Way to access a single bit of SFR
–Use sbitandnameof SFR
#include <reg51.h>
Sbit MYBIT = P1^5;//D5 of P1
–Use sbit declare the bit of SFR and declare by you
Sbit MYBIT = 0x95;//D5 of P1
Reg51.h is not necessary.

Password Based Door Lock System using 8051 Microcontroller
Principle Behind the Circuit:
The main component in the circuit is 8051 controller. In this project 4×3 keypad is used to
enter the password. The password which is entered is compared with the predefined
password.
If the entered password is correct then the system opens the door by rotating door motor and
displays the status of door on LCD. If the password is wrong then door is remain closed and
displays “password is wrong” on LCD.

The KEIL 8051 Development Tools are designed to solve the complex problems facing
embedded software developers.
b) Proteus
c) Flash magic

CONCLUSION
a) The world of embedded systems is a dreamer’s paradise with unlimited possibilities.
b) It make controlling all the systems around just by a simple gesture and the things respond
to you as if it was some magic.
c) As microprocessors are becoming smaller and cheaper, more and more products are
becoming ‘smart’ with microprocessors embedded in them.
d) The basic architecture and function of a microcontroller is discussed. With examples, the
need for low power microcontroller is illustrated.
e) Microcontrollers are of prime importance for electronic control and communication of
any modern appliance. Any household appliance e.g. washing machine, refrigerator, air-
conditioner or office appliances e.g. electronic printer, Photostat copier, fax machine
contains one or more microcontrollers. Because of its bulk usage a marginal saving in
power for one 8051 results to enormous saving as a whole.
f) In any device design, when one feature is optimized another feature degrades. When low
power is achieved the speed or performance may go down. Though this microcontroller
consumes negligible power its other features are comparable to the existing
microcontrollers available in the market.
