UNIT 4

TWO MARKS

1. Define Full duplex and Half duplex

If data can be transmitted and received, it is a duplex transmission. If data transmitted one way a time, it
is referred to as half duplex. If data can go both ways at a time, it is full duplex

2. Define Framing?

Asynchronous serial data communication is widely used for character-oriented transmissions. Each
character is placed in between start and stop bits, this is called framing. Block-oriented data transfers
use the synchronous method.

3.Draw the Data frame of Serial communication.

4. What is baud rate?

The rate of data transfer in serial data communication is stated in bps (bits per second). Another widely
used terminology for bps is baud rate

5. What is TTL in RS232?

The standard was set long before the advent of the TTL logic family, its input and output voltage levels
are not TTL compatible. In RS232, a 1 is represented by -3 ~ -25 V, while a 0 bit is +3 ~ +25 V, making -3
to +3 undefined.

6.Draw the pin diagram of RS232?

7.What are the Pins in 9pin RS232?

8. With XTAL = 11.0592 MHz, find the TH1 value needed to have the following baud rates. (a) 9600 (b)
2400 (c) 1200?

Solution: The machine cycle frequency of 8051 = 11.0592 / 12 = 921.6 kHz, and 921.6 kHz / 32 = 28,800
Hz is frequency by UART to timer 1 to set baud rate. (a) 28,800 / 3 = 9600 where -3 = FD (hex) is loaded
into TH1 (b) 28,800 / 12 = 2400 where -12 = F4 (hex) is loaded into TH1 (c) 28,800 / 24 = 1200 where -24
= E8 (hex) is loaded into TH1

9. What is the use of SBUF?

SBUF is an 8-bit register used solely for serial communication .For a byte data to be transferred via the
TxD line, it must be placed in the SBUF register . The moment a byte is written into SBUF, it is framed
with the start and stop bits and transferred serially via the TxD line . SBUF holds the byte of data when it
is received by 8051 RxD line . When the bits are received serially via RxD, the 8051 deframes it by
eliminating the stop and start bits, making a byte out of the data received, and then placing it in SBUF

10. What
EE33017_ECP is the Use of SCOn

SCON is an 8-bit register used to program the start bit, stop bit, and data bits of data framing, among
other things

11.what is the value loaded to the register for various baud rate?

12.Write the SFR Byte Addresses for DS89C4x0 Serial Ports?

13.Defne interrupt and interrupt service routine.

Interrupts ƒ Whenever any device needs its service, the device notifies the microcontroller by sending it
an interrupt signal ƒ Upon receiving an interrupt signal, the microcontroller interrupts whatever it is
doing and serves the device ƒ The program which is associated with the interrupt is called the interrupt
service routine (ISR) or interrupt handler

14.Define Polling.

Polling can monitor the status of several devices and serve each of them as certain conditions are met ¾
The polling method is not efficient, since it wastes much of the microcontroller’s time by polling devices
that do not need service

15.Types of interrupt and its priority?

PART B

1. Explain the characteristics and operations of mode0, mode1, mode2, mode 3 in 8051 with neat
diagram.

2. What are the types of timer? Explain TMOD How to calculate the values to be loaded into the TL
and TH registers?

3. Write an 8051 C program to toggle all the bits of port P1 continuously with some delay in between.
Use Timer 0, 16-bit mode to generate the delay.

4. a)Write an 8051 C program to toggle all bits of P2 continuously every 500 ms. Use Timer 1, mode 1 to
create the delay.

b) Assume that a 1-Hz external clock is being fed into pin T1 (P3.5). Write a C program for counter 1 in
mode 2 (8-bit auto reload) to count up and display the state of the TL1 count on P1. Start the count at
0H.

5. A switch is connected to pin P1.2. Write an 8051 C program to monitor SW and create the following
frequencies on pin P1.7: SW=0: 500Hz SW=1: 750Hz, use Timer 0, mode 1 for both of them.

6. Write the Steps to programming the 8051 to transfer and receive character bytes serially?

7. Write a C program for 8051 to transfer the letter “A” serially at 4800 baud continuously. Use 8-bit
data and 1 stop bit.

8. Write an 8051 C program to transfer the message “YES” serially at 9600 baud, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit.
Do this continuously.

9. Upon activation of an interrupt, the microcontroller goes through the following steps, write steps and
type of interrupt?

10. Write a C program using interrupts to do the following: (a) Receive data serially and send it to P0 (b)
Read port P1, transmit data serially, and give a copy to P2 (c) Make timer 0 generate a square wave of 5
kHz frequency on P0.1 Assume that XTAL = 11.0592 MHz. Set the baud rate at 4800.
