Intel 8051/8031 Family Architecture

Chapter Outline

  • Understand 8051
  • Learn the architecture of 8051, 8052 and Atmel 89C51 microcontrollers and resources of memory, ports, timers and serial IO (input and output) devices
  • Learn the use of bits at special function registers, ports, timers and serial IO (input and output) device

This chapter describes in detail the microcontroller family—8051/8031—and the special function registers. The chapter also describes the resources of memory, ports, timers and serial IO (input and output) device. We will learn the assembly language programming instructions of 8051 in Chapter 4 later.

3.1 8051 MICROCONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE

The 8031 and 8051 microcontrollers are similar in their architecture. [8031 does ...
