Microprocessors & Interfacing

UNIT– I
8086 MICROPROCESSORS
Introduction to processor:
• A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the

basic instructions that drives a computer.
• The processor has generally replaced the term

term
processing central
unit . The processor in a personal or
embedded
computer in small devices is often called a microprocessor.
• The processor (CPU, for Central Processing Unit) is the computer's

brain. It allows the processing of numeric data, meaning
information entered in binary form, and the execution of
instructions stored in memory.
2
Evolution of Microprocessor:
• A microprocessor is used as the CPU in a microcomputer. There are

now many different microprocessors available.
• Microprocessor is a program-controlled device, which fetches the
instructions from memory, decodes and executes the instructions.
Most Micro Processor are single- chip devices.
• Microprocessor is a backbone of computer system. which is called
CPU
• Microprocessor speed depends on the processing speed depends
on DATA BUS WIDTH.
• A common way of categorizing microprocessors is by the no. of bits
that their ALU can Work with at a time
3
 The address bus is unidirectional because the address information is
always given by the Micro Processor to address a memory location
of an input / output devices.
 The data bus is Bi-directional because the same bus is used for
transfer of data between Micro Processor and memory or input /
output devices in both the direction.
 It has limitations on the size of data. Most Microprocessor
does not support floating-point operations.
 Microprocessor contain ROM chip because it
contain instructions to execute data.
 Storage capacity is limited. It has a volatile memory. In secondary
storage device the storage capacity is larger. It is a nonvolatile
memory.
4
 Primary devices are: RAM (Read / Write memory, High Speed,
Volatile Memory) / ROM (Read only memory, Low Speed, Non Volatile
Memory)
Compiler:
 Compiler is used to translate the high-level language program into machine

code at a time. It doesn’t require special instruction to store in a memory,
it stores automatically. The Execution time is less compared to Interpreter
5
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer):

• RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. To execute
each
instruction, if there is separate
• electronic circuitry in the control unit, which produces all the
necessary signals, this approach of the design of the control section
of the processor is called RISC design. It is also called hardwired
approach.
Examples of RISC processors:
• IBM RS6000, MC88100
• DEC’s Alpha 21064, 21164 and 21264 processors
6
Features of RISC Processors:
The standard features of RISC processors are listed below:
 RISC processors use a small and limited number of instructions.
 RISC machines mostly uses hardwired control unit.
 RISC processors consume less power are having

and high
performance.
 Each instruction is very simple and consistent.
 RISC processors uses simple addressing modes.
 RISC instruction is of uniform fixed length
7
Features of RISC Processors:
CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer):

 CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer. If the control unit
contains a number of microelectronic circuitry to generate a set of
control signals and each micro circuitry is activated by a micro code, this
design approach is called CISC design.
Examples of CISC processors are:

 Intel 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III
 Motorola’s 68000, 68020, 68040, etc.
8
Features of CISC Processors:
 CISC chips have a large amount of different and complex

instructions.
 CISC machines generally make use of complex

addressing modes.
 Different machine programs can be executed on CISC

machine.
 CISC machines uses micro-program control unit.
 CISC processors are having limited number of registers

8086 Architecture :
10
8086 Architecture :
 8086 Microprocessor is divided into functional units, i.e.,

two
EU(Execution Unit) and BIU (Bus Interface Unit).
EU (Execution Unit):
Execution unit gives instructions to BIU stating from where to fetch the data
and then decode and execute those instructions. Its function is to control
operations on data using the instruction decoder & ALU. EU has no direct
connection with system buses as shown in the above figure, it performs
operations over data through BIU.
11
8086 Architecture :
• BIU(Bus Interface Unit):

 BIU takes care of all data and addresses transfers on the buses for the EU
like sending addresses, fetching instructions from the memory, reading
data from the ports and the memory as well as writing data to the ports
and the memory. EU has no direction connection with System Buses so
this is possible with the BIU. EU and BIU are connected with the Internal
Bus.
• Instruction queue:
 BIU contains the instruction queue. BIU gets up to 6 bytes of next
instructions and stores them in the instruction queue. When EU executes
instructions and is ready for its next instruction, then it simply reads the
instruction from this instruction queue resulting in increased execution
speed.
12
8086 Architecture :
• Segment register:
 BIU has 4 segment buses, i.e. CS, DS, SS& ES. It holds the addresses of
instructions and data in memory, which are used by the processor to
access memory locations. It also contains 1 pointer register IP, which
holds the address of the next instruction to executed by the EU.
13
Special functions of general purpose register
AX & DX registers:
 In 8 bit multiplication, one of the operands must be in AL. The
other operand can be a byte in memory location or in another 8
bit register. The resulting 16 bit product is stored in AX, with AH
storing the MS byte.
 In 16 bit multiplication, one of the operands must be in AX.
 The other operand can be a word in memory location or in

another 16 bit register. The resulting 32 bit product is stored in DX
and AX, with DX storing the MS word and AX storing the LS word.
14
Special functions of general purpose register
BX register :
In instructions where we need to specify in a general purpose

register the 16 bit effective address of a memory location, the
register BX is used (register indirect).
CX register :
In Loop Instructions, CX register will be always used as the implied
counter. In I/O instructions, the 8086 receives into or sends out data
from AX or AL depending as a word or byte operation.
15
Segment register:
• Segment register:
 BIU has 4 segment buses, i.e. CS, DS, SS& ES. It holds the addresses of
instructions and data in memory, which are used by the processor to
access memory locations. It also contains 1 pointer register IP, which holds
the address of the next instruction to executed by the EU.
16
Flag Register and Functions of 8086
Flags
 Flag Register contains a group of status bits called flags that
indicate the status of the CPU or the result of arithmetic operations.
 There are two types of flags:
 The status flags which reflect the result of executing an instruction.

The programmer cannot set/reset these flags directly.
 The control flags enable or disable certain CPU operations.
 The programmer can set/reset these bits to control the
CPU's operation.
17
Flags
• Nine individual bits of the status register are used as control flags (3 of
them) and status flags (6 of them).The remaining 7 are not used.
• A flag can only take on the values 0 and 1. We say a flag is set if it has
the value 1.The status flags are used to record specific characteristics
of arithmetic and of logical instructions.
18
Structure of Flag Register
19
Flags
• Control Flags: There are three control flags
• The Direction Flag (D): Affects the direction of moving data blocks by such
instructions as MOVS, CMPS and SCAS. The flag values are 0 = up and 1 =
down and can be set/reset by the STD (set D) and CLD (clear D) instructions.
• The Interrupt Flag (I): Dictates whether or not system interrupts can occur.
Interrupts are actions initiated by hardware block such as input devices that
will interrupt the normal execution of programs. The flag values are 0 =
disable interrupts or 1 = enable interrupts and can be manipulated by the
CLI (clear I) and STI (set I) instructions.
20
Flags
• The Trap Flag (T): Determines whether or not the CPU is halted after the
execution of each instruction. When this flag is set (i.e. = 1), the
programmer can single step through his program to debug any errors.
When this flag = 0 this feature is off. This flag can be set by the INT 3
instruction.
• Status Flags: There are six status flags
• The Carry Flag (C): This flag is set when the result of an unsigned
arithmetic operation is too large to fit in the destination register. This
happens when there is an end carry in an addition operation or there an
end borrows in a subtraction operation. A value of 1 = carry and 0 = no
carry.
21
Flags
• The Overflow Flag (O): This flag is set when the result of a signed
arithmetic operation is too large to fit in the destination register (i.e. when
an overflow occurs). Overflow can occur when adding two numbers with
the same sign (i.e. both positive or both negative). A value of 1 = overflow
and 0 = no overflow.
• The Sign Flag (S): This flag is set when the result of an arithmetic or logic
operation is negative. This flag is a copy of the MSB of the result (i.e. the
sign bit). A value of 1 means negative and 0 = positive.
22
Flags
• The Zero Flag (Z): This flag is set when the result of an arithmetic or logic
operation is equal to zero. A value of 1 means the result is zero and a value
of 0 means the result is not zero.
• The Auxiliary Carry Flag (A): This flag is set when an operation causes a
carry from bit 3 to bit 4 (or a borrow from bit 4 to bit 3) of an operand. A
value of 1 = carry and 0 = no carry.
• The Parity Flag (P): This flags reflects the number of 1s in the result of an
operation. If the number of 1s is even its value = 1 and if the number of 1s is
odd then its value = 0.
23
Addressing Modes of 8086
• Addressing mode indicates a way of locating data or operands. Depending

up on the data type used in the instruction and the memory addressing
modes, any instruction may belong to one or more addressing modes or
same instruction may not belong to any of the addressing modes.
• The addressing mode describes the types of operands and the way they are
accessed for executing an instruction. According to the flow of instruction
execution, the instructions may be categorized as
 Sequential control flow instructions and
 Control transfer instructions.
24
• Sequential control flow instructions are the instructions which after

execution, transfer control to the next instruction appearing immediately
after it (in the sequence) in the program. For example the arithmetic, logic,
data transfer and processor control instructions are Sequential control flow
instructions.
• The control transfer instructions on the other hand transfer control to
some predefined address or the address somehow specified in the
instruction, after their execution. For example INT, CALL, RET & JUMP
instructions fall under this category.
25
 The addressing modes for Sequential and control flow instructions

are
explained as follows.
 Immediate addressing mode:
 In this type of addressing, immediate data is a part of instruction,

and
 Example:
appears MOV
in the AX,
form of0005H.
successive byte or bytes.
 In the above example, 0005H is the immediate data. The immediate data
may be 8- bit or 16-bit in size.
26
Direct addressing mode:

• In the direct addressing mode, a 16-bit memory address (offset) directly
specified in the instruction as a part of it.
Example: MOV AX, [5000H].
Register addressing mode:
• In the register addressing mode, the data is stored in a register and it is

referred using the particular register. All the registers, except IP, may be
used in this mode.
Example: MOV BX, AX
27
Register indirect addressing mode:
• Sometimes, the address of the memory location which contains data or

operands is determined in an indirect way, using the offset registers. The
mode of addressing is known as register indirect mode.
• In this addressing mode, the offset address of data is in either BX or

SI or DI Register. The default segment is either DS or ES.
E xample: MOV AX, [BX].
•
28
Indexed addressing mode:

• In this addressing mode, offset of the operand is stored one of the index
registers. DS & ES are the default segments for index registers SI & DI
respectively.
Example: MOV AX, [SI]

• Here, data is available at an offset address stored in SI in DS.
29
Register relative addressing mode:
• In this addressing mode, the data is available at an effective address formed

by adding an 8-bit or 16-bit displacement with the content of any one of
the register BX, BP, SI & DI in the default (either in DS & ES) segment.
Example: MOV AX, 50H [BX]
30
••
Based indexed addressing mode:
• The effective address of data is formed in this addressing mode, by

adding content of a base register (any one of BX or BP) to the
content of an index register (any one of SI or DI). The default
segment register may be ES or DS. Example: MOV AX, [BX][SI]
Relative based indexed:

• The effective address is formed by adding an 8 or 16-bit displacement with
the sum of contents of any of the base registers (BX or BP) and any one
of the index registers, in a default segment.
Example: MOV AX, 50H [BX] [SI]
•
31
• Addressing Modes for control transfer instructions:
• Intersegment
– Intersegment direct
– Intersegment indirect
• Intrasegment
– Intrasegment direct
– Intrasegment indirect
32
• Intersegment direct:
 In this mode, the address to which the control is to be transferred is in a

different segment. This addressing mode provides a means of branching
from one code segment to another code segment. Here, the CS and IP of
the destination address are specified directly in the instruction.
Example: JMP 5000H: 2000H;
• Jump to effective address 2000H in segment 5000H.
33
Intersegment indirect:
 In this mode, the address to which the control is to be transferred lies in a
different segment and it is passed to the instruction indirectly, i.e. contents
of a memory block containing four bytes, i.e. IP(LSB), IP(MSB), CS(LSB) and
CS(MSB) sequentially. The starting address of the memory block may be
referred using any of the addressing modes, except immediate mode.
 Example: JMP [2000H].
 Jump to an address in the other segment specified at effective address

2000H in DS.
34
• Intrasegment direct mode:
 In this mode, the address to which the control is to be transferred lies in the
same segment in which the control transfers instruction lies and appears
directly in the instruction as an immediate displacement value. In this
addressing mode, the displacement is computed relative to the content of
the instruction pointer.
35
• The effective address to which the control will be transferred is given

by
the sum of 8 or 16 bit displacement and current content of IP. In case of
jump instruction, if the signed displacement (d) is of 8- bits (i.e. -
128<d<+127), it as short jump and if it is of 16 bits (i.e.
-
32768<d<+32767), it is termed as long jump.
Example: JMP SHORT LABEL.
36
• Intrasegment indirect mode:

• In this mode, the displacement to which the control is to be transferred is
in the same segment in which the control transfer instruction lies, but it is
passed to the instruction directly. Here, the branch address is found as the
content of a register or a memory location.
• This addressing mode may be used in unconditional branch
instructions.
• Example: JMP [BX]; Jump to effective address stored in BX.
37
INSTRUCTION SET OF 8086
• The Instruction set of 8086 microprocessor is classified into 7 Types, they

are:-
• Data transfer instructions
• Arithmetic& logical instructions
• Program control transfer instructions
• Machine Control Instructions
• Shift / rotate instructions
• Flag manipulation instructions
• String instructions
38
Data Transfer
instructions
• Data transfer instruction, as the name suggests is for the transfer of

data from memory to internal register, from internal register to
memory, from one register to another register, from input port to
internal register, from internal register to output port etc
MOV instruction
• It is a general purpose instruction to transfer byte or word from
register to register, memory to register, register to memory or with
immediate addressing.
39
Data Transfer
instructions
General Form:
• MOV destination, source
• Here the source and destination needs to be of the same size, that
is both 8 bit or both 16 bit.
• MOV instruction does not affect any flags.
Example:-
•
• MOV BX, load the immediate number 00F2H in
00F2H; BX register
• MOV CL, [2000H] ;Copy the 8 bit content of the

memory
location, at a
displacement of 2000H
from data segment base to the CL register
40
Data Transfer
instructions
•MOV [589H], BX; Copy the 16 bit content of BX register on to
the memory location, which at a
displacement of 589H from the data segment
base.
• MOV DS, CX; Move the content of CX to DS
PUSH instruction
• The PUSH instruction decrements the stack pointer by two and
copies the word from source to the location where stack pointer
now points. Here the source must of word size data. Source can be
a general purpose register, segment register or a memory location.
41
Data Transfer
instructions
The PUSH instruction first pushes the most significant byte to sp-1, then
the least significant to the sp-2.
Push instruction does not affect any flags.
42
Data Transfer
instructions
Example:-
• PUSH CX ; Decrements SP by 2, copy content of CX to the
stack (figure shows execution of this
• PUSH DS instruction)
; Decrement SP by 2 and copy DS to stack
• POP instruction
The POP instruction copies a word from the stack location pointed by
the stack pointer to the destination. The destination can be a
General purpose register, a segment register or a memory location.
Here after the content is copied the stack pointer is automatically
incremented by two.
• The execution pattern is similar to that of the PUSH instruction.
Example:
• POP CX ; Copy a word from the top of the stack to CX and
increment SP by 2.
43
Data Transfer
instructions
• IN & OUT instructions
• The IN instruction will copy data from a port to the accumulator. If 8
bit is read the data will go to AL and if 16 bit then to AX. Similarly
OUT instruction is used to copy data from accumulator to an
output port.
• Both IN and OUT instructions can be done using direct and indirect
addressing modes.
Example:
• IN AL, 0F8H; Copy a byte from the port 0F8H to AL
• MOV DX, 30F8H;Copy port address in DX
• IN AL, DX; Move 8 bit data from 30F8H port
• IN AX, DX; Move 16 bit data from 30F8H port
• OUT 047H, AL; Copy contents of AL to 8 bit port 047H
• MOV DX, 30F8H;Copy port address in DX
44
Data Transfer
instructions

• The XCHG instruction exchanges contents of the destination and
source. Here destination and source can be register and register or
register and memory location, but XCHG cannot interchange the
value of 2 memory locations.
General Format
• XCHG Destination, Source
Example:
• XCHG BX, CX; exchange word in CX with the word in BX
• XCHG AL, CL; exchange byte in CL with the byte in AL
• XCHG AX, SUM[BX];here physical address, which is
DS+SUM+[BX]. The content at physical
address and the content of AX are
interchanged.

(0100)2= (4)16).
• NOT [5000H]
52
XOR instruction
• The XOR operation is again carried out in a similar way to the AND
and OR operation. The constraints on the operands are also similar.
The XOR operation gives a high output, when the 2 input bits are
dissimilar. Otherwise, the output is zero. The example instructions
are as follows:
Example:
• XOR AX,0098H
• XOR AX,BX
• XOR AX,[5000H]
53
Shift / Rotate Instructions

• Shift instructions move the binary data to the left or right by shifting
them within the register or memory location. They also can perform

later is used with signed numbers while former with unsigned.
54
SHL/SAL instruction
• Both the instruction shifts each bit to left, and places the MSB in CF and LSB
is made 0. The destination can be of byte size or of word size, also it can be
a register or a memory location. Number of shifts is indicated by the count.
• All flags are affected.
General Format:

Processor Control
Instructions
II. External Hardware synchronizationinstructions
 HLT: Halt (do nothing) until interrupt or reset.
 WAIT: Wait (Do nothing) until signal on the test pin islow.
 ESC: Escape to external coprocessor such as 8087 or 8089.
 LOCK: An instruction prefix. Prevents another processor from taking
the bus while the adjacent instruction executes.
NOP: No operation. This instruction simply takes up three
clock cycles and does no processing.

73
Assembler Directives
 ASSUME
 DB - Defined Byte.
 DD - Defined Double
 DQ - Word Defined Quad
 DT - Word Define Ten
 DW - Bytes Define Word
74
 ASSUME Directive-
The ASSUME directive is used to tell the assembler that the name of the
logical segment should be used for a specified segment. The 8086 works
directly with only 4 physical segments: a Code segment, a data segment, a
stack segment, and an extra segment.
Example:
ASUME CS:CODE ;This tells the assembler that the logical segment named
CODE contains the instruction statements for the program and should be
treated as a code segment.
ASSUME DS:DATA ;This tells the assembler that for any instruction which
refers to a data in the data segment, data will found in the logical segment
DATA.
75
 DB - DB directive is used to declare a byte- type variable store a byte
or to
in memory location.
 Example:
1. PRICE DB 49h, 98h, 29h ; Declare an array of 3 named

bytes, as
PRICE and initialize.
2. NAME DB ‘ABCDEF’ ;Declare an array of 6 bytes and initialize with ASCII
code for letters
3. TEMP DB 100 DUP(?) ;Set 100 bytes of storage in memory and give it the
name as TEMP, but leave the 100 bytes uninitialized. Program instructions
will load values into these locations.
76
 DW -The DW directive is used to define a variable of type word or to

reserve storage location of type word in memory.
 Example:
• MULTIPLIER DW 437Ah ; this declares a variable of type word and

named it as MULTIPLIER. This variable is initialized with the
value
437Ah when it is loaded into memory to run.
77
 END - END directive is placed after the last statement of a program to

tell the assembler that this is the end of the program module. The
assembler will ignore any statement after an END directive.
 ENDP - ENDPdirective is used along with the name of the procedure

to indicate the end of a procedure to the assembler
Example:
• SQUARE_NUM PROCE ; It start the procedure, Some steps to find the

square root of a number
• SQUARE_NUM ENDP ;Hear it is the End for the procedure
78
- End Program
 END
 ENDP - End Procedure
 ENDS - End Segment
 EQU - Equate
 EVEN
- Align on Even Memory Address
 EXTRN
-
79
 ENDS - This ENDS directive is used with name of the segment to

indicate the end of that logic segment.
Example: CODE SEGMENT ;Hear it Start the logic
segment containing code ;
 CODE ENDS ;End of segment named as CODE
 GLOBAL - Can be used in place of a PUBLIC directive or in place of
an EXTRN directive.
80
 GROUP - Used to tell the assembler to group the logical statements
named after the directive into one logical group segment, allowing the
contents of all the segments to be accessed from the same group
segment base.
 INCLUDE - Used to tell the assembler to insert a block of source code
from the named file into the current source module.
 LABEL- Used to give a name to the current value in the location
counter.
 NAME- Used to give a specific name to each assembly module
when programs consisting of several modules are written.
E.g.: NAME PC_BOARD 84

 OFFSET- Used to determine the offset or displacement of a named dat
a
item or procedure from the start of the segment which contains it.
E.g.: MOV BX, OFFSET PRICES
 ORG- The location counter is set to 0000 when the assembler starts
reading a segment. The ORG directive allows setting a desired value at any
point in the program.
E.g.: ORG 2000H
82
 PUBLIC- Used to tell the assembler that a specified name or label will be
accessed from other modules.
 SEGMENT- Used to indicate the start of a logical segment.
E.g.: CODE SEGMENT indicates to the assembler the start of a logical

segment called CODE
 SHORT- Used to tell the assembler that only a 1 byte
displacement is
needed to code a jump instruction.
E.g.: JMP SHORT NEARBY_LABEL

 TYPE - Used to tell the assembler to determine the type of
specified
83
variable.

Procedures and Macros
Procedures:
• While writing programs, it may be the case that a particular sequence of
instructions is used several times. To avoid writing the sequence of
instructions again and again in the program, the same sequence can be
written as a separate subprogram called a procedure.
Defining Procedures:
• Assembler provides PROC and ENDP directives in order to define
procedures. The directive PROC indicates beginning of a procedure.
Its general form is:
Procedure_name PROC [NEAR|FAR]
87
Passing parameters to and from procedures:

The data values or addresses passed between procedures and
main
program are called parameters. There are four ways of
passing
parameters:
 Passing parameters in registers
 Passing parameters in dedicated memory locations
 Passing parameters with pointers passed in registers
 Passing parameters using the stack

88
MACROS:
 When the repeated group of instruction is too short or not suitable to be
implemented as a procedure, we use a MACRO. A macro is a group of
instructions to which a name is given. Each time a macro is called in a
program, the assembler will replace the macro name with the group of
instructions.
Defining MACROS:
 Before using macros, we have to define them. MACRO directive
informs the assembler the beginning of a macro. The general form is:
 Macro_name MACRO argument1, argument2, …Arguments are optional.
ENDM informs the assembler the end of the macro. Its general form is :
130
ENDM
Procedures Macros
Accessed by CALL and RET mechanism Accessed by name given to macro
during program execution when
defined during assembly
Machine code for instructions only put Machine code generated
in memory once for instructions

Parameters are passed in registers, Parameters passed as part of statement
memory locations or stack which calls macro
Procedures uses stack Macro does not utilize stack
A procedure can be defined anywhere in A macro can be defined anywhere in
program using the directives PROC program using the directives MACRO
and ENDP and ENDM
Procedures takes huge memory for Length of code is very huge if macro’s are
CALL(3 bytes each time CALL is called for more number of times
used) instruction
90
Minimum mode operation in 8086:
91
 In a minimum mode 8086 system, the microprocessor 8086 is operated in
minimum mode by strapping its MN/MX pin to logic 1.
 In this mode, all the control signals are given out by the microprocessor
chip itself. There is a single microprocessor in the minimum mode system.
 The remaining components in the system are latches, transceivers, clock
generator, memory and I/O devices. Some type of chip selection logic may
be required for selecting memory or I/O devices, depending upon the
address map of the system.
 Latches are generally buffered output D-type flip-flops like 74LS373 or

8282. They are used for separating the valid address from the multiplexed
address/data signals and are controlled by the ALE signal generated by
8086.
92
 Transceivers are the bidirectional buffers and sometimes they are called as
data amplifiers. They are required to separate the valid data from the time
multiplexed address/data signals.
 They are controlled by two signals namely, DEN and DT/R.
 The DEN signal indicates the direction of data, i.e. from or to the processor.
The system contains memory for the monitor and users program storage.
 Usually, EPROM is used for monitor storage, while RAM for users
program
storage. A system may contain I/O devices.
93
Maximum mode operation in 8086:
In the maximum mode, the 8086 is operated by strapping the MN/MX
pin to ground.
In this mode, the processor derives the status signal S2, S1, S0.
Another chip called bus controller derives the control signal using this
status information.
In the maximum mode, there may be more than one
microprocessor in the system configuration.
The components in the system are same as in the minimum
mode system.
The basic function of the bus controller chip IC8288 is to contro
signals
derive like RD and WR (for memory and I/O devices), DEN, DT/R, ALE letc.
using the information by the processor on the status lines.
The bus controller chip has input lines S2, S1, S0 and CLK. These inputs to
8288 are driven by CPU.
94
95
• It derives the outputs ALE, DEN, DT/R, MRDC, MWTC, AMWC, IORC, IOWC
and AIOWC. The AEN, IOB and CEN pins are especially useful
for
multiprocessor systems.
• AEN and IOB are generally grounded. CEN pin is usually tied to +5V. The
significance of the MCE/PDEN output depends upon the status of the IOB
pin.
• If IOB is grounded, it acts as master cascade enable to control cascade
8259A, else it acts as peripheral data enable used in the multiple bus
configurations.
140
• INTA pin used to issue two interrupt acknowledge pulses to the interrupt
controller or to an interrupting device.
• IORC, IOWC are I/O read and I/O write command
command signals
respectively.
• These signals enable an IO interface to read or write the data from or to the
address port.
• The MRDC, MWTC are memory read command and memory write
command signals respectively and may be used as memory read or write
signals.
140
• The MRDC, MWTC are memory read command and memory

write
command signals respectively and may be used as memory read or
write
signals.
• All these command signals instructs the memory to accept or send dat
a
from or to the bus.
• For both of these write command signals, the advanced signals

namely AIOWC and AMWTC are available.
• Here the only difference between in timing diagram between minimum
mode and maximum mode is the status signals used and the available
control and advanced command signals.
98
• R0, S1, S2 are set at the beginning of bus cycle.8288 bus controller will
output a pulse as on the ALE and apply a required signal to its DT / R pin
during T1.
• In T2, 8288 will set DEN=1 thus enabling transceivers, and for an input it will
activate MRDC or IORC. These signals are activated until T4. For an output,
the AMWC or AIOWC is activated from T2 to T4 and MWTC or IOWC is
activated from T3 to T4.

Assembly Language Programming
The programming language is a low-level language

assembly which is using mnemonics. The microcontroller or
developed by
understand microprocessor
only can
the binary language like 0’s or 1’s therefore the assembler
convert the assembly language to binary language and store it the memory
to perform the tasks. Before writing the program the embedded designers
must have sufficient knowledge on particular hardware of the controller or
processor, so first we required to know hardware of 8086 processor.
Machine Language:
Set of fundamental instructions the machine can execute Expressed as a
pattern of 1’s and 0’s
105
Assembly Language Programming
Assembly Language:
Alphanumeric equivalent of machine language Mnemonics more human-
oriented than 1’s and 0’s
Assembler:
Computer program that transliterates (one-to-one mapping) assembly
to machine language Computer’s native language is machine/assembly
language
106
Why Assembly Language Programming
• Faster and shorter programs: Compilers do not always generate

optimum code.
• Instruction set knowledge is important for machine designers.
• Compiler writers must be familiar with details of machine language.
• Small controllers embedded in many products
• Have specialized functions,
• Rely so heavily on input/output functionality,
• HLLs inappropriate for product development.
107
Basic elements of 8086 assembly programming

8086 assembly programming language instructions
• Like we know instruction are the lines of a program that means an action
for the computer to execute.
In 8086, a normal instruction is made by an operation code and
sometimes
operands.
Structure:
Operation Code [Operand1 [, Operand2]]
• Operations
• The operation is usually logic or arithmetic, but we can also find
some
special operation like the Jump (JMP) operation.
109
8086 assembly programming language instructions
• Operands
• Operands are the parameters of the operation in the instruction. They can
be use in 3 way:
• Immediate
• This means a direct access of a variable that have been declared in the
program.
• Register
• Here we use the content of a register to be a parameter.
• Memory
• Here we access to the content of a specific part of the memory using a
pointer
110
SYNTAX OF 8086/8088 ASSEMBLY
LANGUAGE
• The language is not case sensitive.
• There may be only one statement per line. A statement may start in any
column.
• A statement is either an instruction, which the assembler translates into
machine code, or an assembler directive (pseudo-op), which instructs the
assembler to perform some specific task.
• Syntax of a statement:
{name} mnemonic {operand(s)} {; comment}
• The curly brackets indicate those items that are not present or are optional
in some statements.
111
SYNTAX OF 8086/8088 ASSEMBLY
LANGUAGE
• The name field is used for instruction labels, procedure names, segment
names, macro names, names of variables, and names of constants.
• MASM 6.1 accepts identifier names up to 247 characters long. All
characters are significant, whereas under MASM 5.1, names are significant
to 31 characters only. Names may consist of letters, digits, and the
following 6 special characters: ? . @ _ $ % .If a period is used; it must be
the first character. Names may not begin with a digit.
• Instruction mnemonics, directive mnemonics, register names, operator
names and other words are reserved.
112
Stac
k
• A stack is a container of objects that are inserted and removed according to
the last-in first-out (LIFO) principle. In the pushdown stacks only two
operations are allowed: push the item into the stack, and pop the item out
of the stack.
• A stack is a container of objects that are inserted and removed according to
the last-in first-out (LIFO) principle. In the pushdown stacks only two
operations are allowed: push the item into the stack, and pop the item out
of the stack. A stack is a limited access data structure - elements can be
added and removed from the stack only at the top. push adds an item to the
top of the stack, pop removes the item from the top.
113
Stac
k
• A helpful analogy is to think of a stack of books; you can remove only the
top book, also you can add a new book on the top. A stack is a
recursive
data structure. Here is a structural definition of a Stack:
• A stack is either empty or it consists of a top and the rest which is a stack;
114
Applications
• The simplest application of a stack is to reverse a word. You push a

given
word to stack - letter by letter - and then pop letters from the stack.
• Another application is an "undo" mechanism in text editors; this

operation
is accomplished by keeping all text changes in a stack.
• Backtracking. This is a process when you need to access the most recent
data element in a series of elements. Think of a labyrinth or maze - how do
you find a way from an entrance to an exit? Once you reach a dead end,
you must backtrack. But backtrack to where? to the previous choice point.
Therefore, at each choice point you store on a stack all possible choices.
Then backtracking simply means popping a next choice from the stack. 115
Stack Data
Structure
Stack is a linear data structure which follows a particular order in which the
operations are performed. The order may be LIFO(Last In First Out) or
FILO(First In Last Out).
Mainly the following three basic operations are performed in the stack:
• Push: Adds an item in the stack. If the stack is full, then it is said to be an
Overflow condition.
• Pop: Removes an item from the stack. The items are popped in the
reversed order in which they are pushed. If the stack is empty, then it is
said to be an Underflow condition.
116
Stack Structure
117
Stack Structure
• If the stack top points to a memory location 52050H, it means that the
location 52050H is already occupied with the previously pushed data. The
next 16 bit push operation will decrement the stack pointer by two, so
that it will point to the new stack-top 5204EH and the decremented
contents of SP will be 204EH. This location will now be occupied by the
recently pushed data.
• Thus for a selected value of SS, the maximum value of SP=FFFFH and the
segment can have maximum of 64K locations. If the SP starts with an
initial value of FFFFH, it will be decremented by two whenever a 16-bit
data is pushed onto the stack.
118
Stack Structure
• After successive push operations, when the stack pointer contains 0000H,
any attempt to further push the data to the stack will result in stack
overflow.
• After a procedure is called using the CALL instruction, the IP is
incremented to the next instruction. Then the contents of IP, CS and flag
register are pushed automatically to the stack. The control is then
transferred to the specified address in the CALL instruction i.e. starting
address of the procedure. Then the procedure is executed.
119
Interrupt
s
Definition:
The meaning of ‘interrupts’ is to break the sequence of operation. While

the CPU is executing a program, on ‘interrupt’ breaks the normal sequence
of execution of instructions, diverts its execution to some other program
called Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).After executing ISR , the control is
transferred back again to the main program. Interrupt processing is an
alternative to polling.
120
Interrupt
s
Need for Interrupt:
Interrupts are particularly useful when interfacing I/O devices that provide
or require data at relatively low data transfer rate.
Interrupt is a mechanism that allows hardware or software to suspend
normal execution on microprocessor in order to switch to interrupt service
routine for hardware / software. Interrupt can also describe as
asynchronous electrical signal that sent to a microprocessor in order to
stop current execution and switch to the execution signaled (depends on
priority). Whether an interrupt is prioritized or not depends on the
interrupt flag register which controlled by priority / programmable
interrupt
121
Interrupt Cycle of 8086
• Interrupts in 8086 microprocessor. ... Whenever an interrupt occurs the

processor completes the execution of the current instruction and starts the
execution of an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) or Interrupt Handler. ISR is a
program that tells the processor what to do when the interrupt occurs.
• In 8086 microprocessor following tasks are performed when
microprocessor encounters an interrupt:
• The value of flag register is pushed into the stack. It means that first the
value of SP (Stack Pointer) is decremented by 2 then the value of flag
register is pushed to the memory address of stack segment.
122
Interrupt Cycle of 8086
• The value of starting memory address of CS (Code Segment) is pushed

into the stack.
• The value of IP (Instruction Pointer) is pushed into the stack.
• IP is loaded from word location (Interrupt type) * 04.
• CS is loaded from the next word location.
• Interrupt and Trap flag are reset to 0.
123
Hardware Interrupts
Hardware interrupts are those interrupts which are by

caused any
peripheral device by sending a signal through a specified pin to the
microprocessor. There are two hardware interrupts in 8086 microprocessor.
They are: (A) NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) – It is a single pin non maskable
hardware interrupt which cannot be disabled. It is the highest priority
interrupt in 8086 microprocessor. After its execution, this interrupt
generates a TYPE 2 interrupt. IP is loaded from word location 00008 H and
CS is loaded from the word location 0000A H.
124
Hardware Interrupts
• (B) INTR (Interrupt Request) – It provides a single interrupt request and is

activated by I/O port. This interrupt can be masked or delayed. It is a level
triggered interrupt. It can receive any interrupt type, so the value of IP and
CS will change on the interrupt type received.
125
Software Interrupts
 These are instructions that are inserted within the program to generate
interrupts.
 There are 256 software interrupts in 8086 microprocessor. The

instructions are of the format INT type where type ranges from 00 to FF.
The starting address ranges from 00000 H to 003FF H.
 These are 2 byte instructions. IP is loaded from type * 04 H and CS is

loaded from the next address give by (type * 04) + 02 H. Some important
software interrupts are:
126
Software Interrupts
TYPE 0 corresponds to division by zero(0).

(A) TYPE 1 is used for single step execution for debugging of program.
(B) TYPE 2 represents NMI and is used in power failure conditions.
(C) TYPE 3 represents a break-point interrupt.
(D) TYPE 4 is the overflow interrupt.
127
Interrupt Vector Table (IVT) on
8086
128
Non Maskable Interrupt
• Hardware interrupt is caused by any peripheral device by sending a signal

through a specified pin to the microprocessor. The 8086 has two hardware
interrupt pins, i.e. NMI and INTR. NMI is a non- maskable interrupt and
INTR is a maskable interrupt having lower priority.
• t is a single non-maskable interrupt pin (NMI) having higher priority than the
maskable interrupt request pin (INTR)and it is of type 2 interrupt.
• When this interrupt is activated, these actions take place −
• Completes the current instruction that is in progress.
• Pushes the Flag register values on to the stack.
129
Non Maskable Interrupt
• Pushes the CS (code segment) value and IP (instruction value

pointer) of the return address on to the stack.
• IP is loaded from the contents of the word location 00008H.
• CS is loaded from the contents of the next word location 0000AH.
• Interrupt flag and trap flag are reset to 0.
130
Maskable Interrupt
• The 8086 has two hardware interrupt pins, i.e. ... NMI is a non-maskable
interrupt and INTR is a maskable interrupt having lower priority. One
moreinterrupt pin associated is INTA called interrupt acknowledge.
• The INTR is a maskable interrupt because the microprocessor will be
interrupted only if interrupts are enabled using set interrupt flag
instruction. It should not be enabled using clear interrupt Flag instruction.
• The INTR interrupt is activated by an I/O port. If the interrupt is enabled
and NMI is disabled, then the microprocessor first completes the current
execution and sends ‘0’ on INTA pin twice.
131
Maskable Interrupt
• The first ‘0’ means INTA informs the external device to get ready and
during the second ‘0’ the microprocessor receives the 8 bit, say X, from
the programmable interrupt controller.
• These actions are taken by the microprocessor −
• First completes the current instruction.
• Activates INTA output and receives the interrupt type, say X.
• Flag register value, CS value of the return address and IP value of the
return address are pushed on to the stack.
• IP value is loaded from the contents of word location X × 4
• CS is loaded from the contents of the next word location.
• Interrupt flag and trap flag is reset to 0

Various modes of 8255:
These are two basic modes of operation of 8255. I/O mode and Bit Set-Reset
mode (BSR).
 In I/O Mode:
The 8255 ports work as programmable I/O ports, while in BSR mode only port
C (PC0-PC7) can be used to set or reset its individual port bits.
Under the I/O mode of operation, further there are three modes of operation
of 8255, so as to support different types of applications, mode 0, mode 1 and
mode 2.
145
 Mode 0 (Basic I/O mode): This mode is also called as basic input/output
Mode. This mode provides simple input and output capabilities using each
of the three ports. Data can be simply read from and written to the input
and output ports respectively, after appropriate initialization.
146
Mode 1: (Strobed input/output mode) in this mode the handshaking
control the input and output action of the specified port. Port C lines PC0-
PC2, provide strobe or handshake lines for port B.
This group which includes port B and PC0-PC2 is called as group B for
Strobed data input/output. Port C lines PC3-PC5 provides strobe lines for port
A.
 This group including port A and PC3-PC5 from group A. Thus port C is
utilized for generating handshake signals.
147
 Mode 2 (Strobed bidirectional I/O): This mode of operation of 8255 is also

called as strobed bidirectional I/O. This mode of operation provides 8255
with additional features for communicating with a peripheral device on an
8-bit data bus.
 Handshaking signals are provided to maintain data flow

and
proper synchronization between the data transmitter and
receiver.
 The interrupt generation and other functions are similar to mode 1.
148
 BSR Mode:
In this mode any of the 8-bits of port C can be set or reset depending on D0
of the control word. The bit to be set or reset is selected by bit select flags
D3, D2 and D1 of the CWR as given in table.

Stepper motor
 Stepper motor is often used in computer systems. Normally DC and
AC
motors move smoothly in a circular fashion.
 Stepper motor is a DC motor, specially designed, which moves in discrete

or fixed step and thus complete one rotation of 360 degrees. To rotate
the shaft of the motor a sequence of pulses are applied to the windings
in a predefined sequence.
 The number of pulses required to complete one rotation depends on the

number of teeth on the rotor. Hence rotation Per pulse sequence is
3600/NT where NT is the number of teeth on rotor. 151
Stepper motor
Programs for Stepper Motor Rotation:

Pin Diagram of AD7523
• The supply range extends from +5V to +15V , while Vref may be anywhere
between -10V to +10V. The maximum analog output voltage will be +10V,
when all the digital inputs are at logic high state. Usually a Zener is
connected between OUT1 and OUT2 to save the DAC from negative
transients.
• An operational amplifier is used as a current to voltage converter at the
output of AD 7523 to convert the current output of AD7523 to a
proportional output voltage.
• It also offers additional drive capability to the DAC output. An external
feedback resistor acts to control the gain. One may not connect any
external feedback resistor, if no gain control is required.

Programmable interrupt controller 8259A
• 8259 microprocessor is defined as Programmable Interrupt Controller

(PIC) microprocessor. There are 5 hardware interrupts and 2 hardware
interrupts in 8085 and 8086 respectively.
• But by connecting 8259 with CPU, we can increase the interrupt handling
capability. 8259 combines the multi interrupt input sources into a single
interrupt output. Interfacing of single PIC provides 8 interrupts inputs
from IR0-IR7.
• For example, interfacing of 8085 and 8259 increases the
interrupt
handling capability of 8085 microprocessor from 5 to 8 interrupt levels.
162
Features of 8259 PIC microprocessor
• It is a LSI chip which manages 8 levels of interrupts i.e. it is used to

implement 8 level interrupt systems.
• It can be cascaded in a master slave configuration to handle up to 64 levels of
interrupts.
• It can identify the interrupting device.
• It can resolve the priority of interrupt requests i.e. it does not require any
external priority resolver.
• It can be operated in various priority modes such as fixed priority
and
rotating priority.
• The interrupt requests are individually mask-able.
163
Features of 8259 PIC microprocessor
• The operating modes and masks may be dynamically changed by the

software at any time during execution of programs.
• It accepts requests from the peripherals, determines priority of incoming
request, checks whether the incoming request has a higher priority value
than the level currently being serviced and issues an interrupt signal to the
microprocessor.
• It provides 8 bit vector number as an interrupt information.
• It does not require clock signal.

keyboard /display controller8279
8279 programmable keyboard/display controller is designed by Intel that

interfaces a keyboard with the CPU. The keyboard first scans the keyboard
and identifies if any key has been pressed. It then sends their relative
response of the pressed key to the CPU and vice-a-versa.
How Many Ways the Keyboard is Interfaced with the CPU?
The Keyboard can be interfaced either in the interrupt or the polled mode.
In the Interrupt mode, the processor is requested service only if any key is
pressed, otherwise the CPU will continue with its main task.
In the Polled mode, the CPU periodically reads an internal flag of 8279 to
check whether any key is pressed or not with key pressure.

Programmable communication interface 8251
USART
• Most of devices are parallel in nature. These devices transfer data
simultaneously on data lines. But parallel data transfer process is very
complicated and expensive. Hence in some situations the serial I/O mode
is used where one bit is transferred over a single line at a time. In this type
of transmission parallel word is converted into a stream of serial bits which
is known as parallel to serial conversion. The rate of transmission in serial
mode is BAUD, i.e., bits per second. The serial data transmission involves
starting, end of transmission, error verification bits along with the data.
171
Block Diagram of Serial I/O Interface
• The microprocessor has to identify the port address to perform read or

write operation. Serial I/O uses only one data line, chip select, read, write
control signals.

INTRODUCTION SERIAL COMMUNICATION
Serial communication is common method of transmitting data between a

computer and a peripheral device such as a programmable instrument or
even another computer.
Serial communication transmits data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a

single communication line to a receiver. Serial is also a most popular
communication protocol that is used by many devices for instrumentation.
173
Introduction Serial Communication
This method is used when data transfer rates are very low or the data must
be transferred over long distances and also where the cost of cable and
synchronization difficulties makes parallel communication impractical.
Serial communication is popular because most computers have one or

more serial ports, so no extra hardware is needed other than a cable to
connect the instrument to the computer or two computers together.
174
8251a-usart-universal Synchronous/Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter
• A USART is also called a programmable communications interface
(PCI). When information is to be sent by 8086 over long distances, it is
• economical to send it on a single line. The 8086 has to convert parallel
data to serial data and then output it. Thus lot of microprocessor time is
required for such a conversion.
• Similarly, if 8086 receives serial data over long distances, the 8086 has to
internally convert this into parallel data before processing it. Again, lot of
time is required for such a conversion. The 8086 can delegate the job of
conversion from serial to parallel and vice versa to the 8251A USART
used in thesystem.
175
8251A-USART-Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter
• The Intel 8251A is the industry Universa

standard l
Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART), designed
for data communications with Intel microprocessor families such as
8080, 85, 86 and
• The 8251A converts the parallel data received from the processor on
the D7-0 data pins into serial data, and transmits it on TxD (transmit
data) output pin of 8251A. Similarly, it converts the serial data
received on RxD (receive data) input into parallel data, and the
processor reads it using the data pins D7-0.
176
Features
 Compatible with extended range of Intel microprocessors.
 It provides both synchronous and asynchronous data transmission.
 Synchronous 5-8 bit characters.
 Asynchronous 5-8 bit characters.
 It has full duplex, double buffered transmitter and receiver.

Recommended Standard -232c (RS-232C)
• RS-232 was first introduced in 1962 by the Radio Sector of the Electronic
Industries Association EIA. RS-232 (Recommended standard-232) is a
standard interface approved by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA)
for connecting serial devices. In other words, RS-232 is a long-established
standard that describes the physical interface and protocol for relatively
low-speed serial data communication between computers and related
devices. An industry trade group, the Electronic Industries Association
(EIA), defined it originally for teletypewriter devices.
181
• In 1987, the EIA released a new version of the standard and changed the
name to EIA-232-D. Many people, however, still refer to the standard as
RS- 232C, or just RS-232. RS-232 is the interface that your computer uses
to talk to and exchange data with your modem and other serial devices.
The serial ports on most computers use a subset of the RS- 232C standard.
182
183
Need For DMA
• Direct memory access (DMA) is a feature of modern computer systems that
allows certain hardware subsystems to read/write data to/from memory
without microprocessor intervention, allowing the processor to do other
work.
• Used in disk controllers, video/sound cards etc, or between memory
locations.
• Typically, the CPU initiates DMA transfer, does other operations while the
transfer is in progress, and receives an interrupt from the DMA controller
once the operation is complete.
• Can create cache coherency problems (the data in the cache may be
different from the data in the external memory after DMA)
184
DMA Data Transfer
Method
185
DMA Data Transfer
Method
• The I/O device asserts the appropriate DRQ signal for the channel.
• The DMA controller will enable appropriate channel, and ask the CPU to
release the bus so that the DMA may use the bus. The DMA requests the
bus by asserting the HOLD signal which goes to the CPU.
• The CPU detects the HOLD signal, and will complete executing the current
instruction. Now all of the signals normally generated by the CPU are placed
in a tri-stated condition (neither high or low) and then the CPU asserts the
HLDA signal which tells the DMA controller that it is now in charge of the
bus.
• The CPU may have to wait (hold cycles).
186
DMA Data Transfer
Method
• DMA activates its -MEMR, -MEMW, -IOR, -IOW output signals, and the
address outputs from the DMA are set to the target address, which will be
used to direct the byte that is about to transferred to a specific memory
location.
• The DMA will then let the device that requested the DMA transfer know
that the transfer is commencing by asserting the -DACK signal.
• The peripheral places the byte to be transferred on the bus Data lines.
• Once the data has been transferred, The DMA will de-assert the - DACK2
signal, so that the FDC knows it must stop placing data on the bus.
187
DMA Data Transfer
Method
• The DMA will now check to see if any of the other DMA channels have any
work to do. If none of the channels have their DRQ lines asserted, the DMA
controller has completed its work and will now tri-state the -MEMR, -
MEMW, -IOR, -IOW and address signals.
• Finally, the DMA will de-assert the HOLD signal. The CPU sees this, and de-
asserts the HOLDA signal. Now the CPU resumes control of the buses and
address lines, and it resumes executing instructions and accessing main
memory and the peripherals.

8051 addressing
modes
208
Immediate addressing mode
In this addressing mode the source operand is constant. In immediate
addressing mode, when the instruction is assembled, the operand comes

immediately after the op-code.
The immediate data must be preceded by ‘#’ sign. This addressing

mode can be used to load information into any of the register, including the
DPTR. Ex: MOVA,#25H
MOV R4,#62
MOV DPTR,#4532H
209
Register addressing
mode
 Register mode involves the use of registers to hold the data
addressing
to be manipulated.
Ex :-
MOV A, R0 // copy the contents of R0 in toA.

MOV R2, // copy the contents of A in to R2.
A ADD // add the content of R5 to content ofA.
A,R5
210
Direct addressing
mode
 In direct addressing mode, the data is in a RAM memory location
whose address is known, and this address is given as a
part of the
Contrast thisinstruction.
with the immediate addressing mode in the operand
which
itself is provided with the instruction.
Ex:- MOV R0,40H //save content of RAM location 40h into
R0.
MOV 56H,A // save content of A RAM location
in 56H
211
Register indirect addressing mode
 In the register indirect addressing mode, a register is used as a pointer to

the data. If the data is inside the CPU, only register R0 and R1 are used
for this purpose. they must be preceded by the “@” sign.
Ex :-
MOV A,@R0
// move contents of RAM location whose address is
held by R0 into A.
MOV @R1,B
// move contents of B RAM location whose address is held
by R
212
Indexed addressing
mode
 Indexed addressing mode is widely used in accessing data elements of
look-
up table entries located in the program ROM space of the 8051.
 The instruction used for this purpose is “MOV A, @A+DPTR”.
 Indexed addressing mode is widely used in accessing data elements of look-

up table entries located in the program ROM space of the 8051.
 The instruction used for this purpose is “MOV A, @A+DPTR”.
213

TIMERS/COUNTERS
229
TIMER/COUNTER
 8051 has two 16-bit programmable timers/counters. They can be

configured to operate either as timers or as event counters. The names of
the two counters are T0 and T1 respectively.
 The timer content is available in four 8-bit special function registers,
viz, TL0,TH0,TL1 and TH1 respectively.
 In the"timer" function mode, the counter is incremented in
every machine cycle. Thus, one can think of it as
counting machine cycles.
Hence the clock rate is 1/12 th of the oscillatorfrequency.
 In the "counter" function mode, the register is incremented in response to
a 1 to 0 transition at its corresponding external input pin (T0 or T1). It
requires 2 machine cycles to detect a high to low.
Operation of Timer/Counter
 The operation of the timers/counters is controlled by two special

function registers, TMOD and TCON respectively.
Timer Mode control (TMOD) Special Function Register:
 TMOD register is not bit addressable.
 TMOD Address: 89 H
Timer/ Counter control logic:
Figure: Timer/ Counter control logic Diagram

Timer modes of operation
Timer Mode-0:
In this mode, the timer is used as a 13-bit UP counter as follows.
Fig: Operation of Timer in Mode 2
The lower 5 bits of TLX and 8 bits of THX are used for the 13 bit count.
Upper 3 bits of TLX are ignored. When the counter rolls over from all 0's to
all 1's, TFX flag is set and an interrupt is generated.
Timer modes of operation
The input pulse is obtained from the previous stage. If TR1/0 bit is 1 and
Gate bit is 0, the counter continues counting up. If TR1/0 bit is 1 and Gate
bit is 1, then the operation of the counter is controlled by input. This mode
is useful to measure the width of a given pulse fed to input.
Timer Mode-
1:
 This mode is similar to mode-0 except for the fact that the Timer
operates in 16-bit mode.
Fig: Operation of Timer in Mode

1
Timer Mode-2: (Auto-Reload Mode)
This is a 8 bit counter/timer operation. Counting is performed in TLX while
THX stores a constant value. In this mode when the timer overflows i.e. TLX
becomes FFH, it is fed with the value stored in THX. For example if we load THX
with 50H then the timer in mode 2 will count from 50H to FFH. After that 50H
is again reloaded. This mode is useful in applications like fixed time sampling
Fig: Operation of Timer in Mode

2
Timer Mode-
3:
Timer 1 in mode-3 simply holds its count. The effect is same as setting TR1=0.
Timer0 in mode-3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate counters.
Fig: Operation of Timer in Mode 3
Control bits TR1 and TF1 are used by Timer-0 (higher 8 bits) (TH0) in Mode-3
while TR0 and TF0 are available to Timer-0 lower 8 bits(TL0).
Interrupts
 An interrupt is an external or internal event interrupts the

that microcontroller to inform it that a device needs its
service.
Interrupts vs. Polling
 A single
microcontroller
can serve several
devices.
 There are two

ways to do that:
– interrupts
– polling.
Interrupts
 In Polling , the microcontroller ‘s program simply checks each of the

I/O
devices to see if any device needs servicing. If so, it performs the service.
 In the interrupt method, whenever any device needs microcontrollers

service, it tells to microcontroller by sending an interrupt signal.
 The program which is associated with the interrupt is called the

interrupt service routine (ISR) or interrupt handler.
Steps in executing an interrupt
 Finish current instruction and saves the PC on stack.
 Jumps to a fixed location in memory depend on type of interrupt.
 Starts to execute the interrupt service routine until RETI (return

from interrupt).
 Upon executing the RETI the microcontroller returns to the

place
where it was interrupted. Get pop PC from stack.
Interrupt Sources
 Original 8051 has 6 sources of interrupts
1. Reset
2. Timer 0 overflow
3. Timer 1 overflow
4. External Interrupt 0
5. External Interrupt 1
6. Serial Port events buffer full, buffer empty, etc)
Interrupt
Vectors
 Each interrupt has a specific place in code memory where
program
execution (interrupt service routine) begins.
External Interrupt 0 : 0003h
Timer 0 overflow : 000Bh
External Interrupt 1 : 0013h
Timer 1 overflow 001Bh

Priorities
 What if two interrupt sources interrupt at the same time?
 The interrupt with the highest PRIORITY gets serviced first.
 All interrupts have a power on default priority order.
1. External interrupt 0 (INT0)
2. Timer interrupt0 (TF0)
3. External interrupt 1 (INT1)
4. Timer interrupt1 (TF1)
5. Serial communication (RI+TI)
 Priority can also be set to “high” or “low” by IP reg.

SERIAL
COMMUNICATION
 The serial port of 8051 is full duplex, i.e., it can transmit and receive
simultaneously.
 The register SBUF is used to hold the data. The special function register
SBUF is physically two registers. One is, write-only and is used to hold data
to be transmitted out of the 8051 via TXD.
 The other is, read-only and holds the received data from external sources
via RXD. Both mutually exclusive registers have the same address 099H.

Real world interfacing of 8051 with external memory
• A single microcontroller can serve several devices. There are two ways to
do that is interrupts or polling. In the interrupt method, whenever any
device needs its services, the device notifies the micro controller
interrupts whatever it is doing and serves the device.
• The program which is associated with the interrupt is called the
interrupt service routine (ISR) or Interrupt handler.
• In polling, the microcontrollers continuously monitor the status of several

devices and serve each of them as certain conditions are met.
• The advantage of interrupts is that microcontroller can serve many

devices.

World Interfacing
 Device Control Register, Status Register, Receive Buffer, Transmit Buffer
 Each I/O device is at a distinct address or set of addresses
 Each device has three sets of registers ─data buffer register(s), control
register(s) and status register
Device Addresses
 Device control and status addresses and port address remains constant and
are not re-locatable in a program as the glue circuit (hardware) to accesses
these is fixed during the circuit design. There can be common addresses for
The processor, memory, devices Glue Circuit
 The processor, memory and devices are interfaced (glued) together using a
programmable circuit like GAL or FPGA. The circuit consists of the address
decoders as per the memory and device addresses allocated and the
needed latches multiplexers/ demultiplexers.
Device Addresses
 There may be common addresses for control and status bits There can
be a control bits, which changes the function of a register at a device

Stepper Motor interacting with 8051
Stepper motors are basically two types: Unipolar and Bipolar.
• Unipolar stepper motor generally has five or six wire, in which four wires
are one end of four stator coils, and other end of the all four coils is tied
together which represents fifth wire, this is called common wire.
• In Bipolar stepper motor there is just four wires coming out from two
sets of coils, means there are no common wire.
• Stepper motor is made up of a stator and a rotator.
• Stator represents the four electromagnet coils which remain stationary

around the rotator, and rotator permanent magnet
which
represents rotates.
• Whenever coils energised by the current, the

the applying field is created, rotatio of rotator
electromagnetic
(permanent resulting
magnet). the n
• On the basis of this “sequence” we can divide the working method of

Unipolar stepper motor in three modes: Wave drive mode, full step drive
mode and half step drive mode.
• Wave drive mode: In this mode one coil is energised at a time, all four coil
are energised one after another. It produces less torque in compare with Full
step drive mode but power consumption is less.
• Following is the table for producing this mode using microcontroller,

means
we need to give Logic 1 to the coils in the sequential manner.
