Microcontroller Lab 09

The document discusses interfacing an LCD to an 8051 microcontroller. It describes the LCD pins including Enable, RW, RS, and data pins. It explains the LCD has two 8-bit registers for instructions and data. The LCD also has a display data RAM to store character codes and a character generator RAM. It notes the busy flag must be cleared before accepting a new instruction. The document provides information needed to understand and interface an LCD.

Interfacing LCD to 8051 Microcontroller


Lab#08
Interfacing LCD to 8051 Microcontroller
Understanding LCD (pins)
❖ Enable (Latch data) ❖ RW=0 for Write
❖ High to Low edge is needed to ❖ RW=1 for Read
latch data (write)
❖ Low to high edge (Read) ❖ Register Select (RS)
❖ Rs=0 Command register selected
❖ Rs=1 Data register selected
❖ 8 data pins (DB0-DB7)
❖ Bi-directional
❖ Data and Command
❖ Alphanumeric
Characters are send in
ASCII format
❖ Vo= Contrast control Pin
Understanding LCD (inside)
01) Registers
❖Two 8-bit registers
❖Instruction Register (IR) and Data Register (DR)
❖These register can be selected by Register Select (RS) pin of LCD
Understanding LCD (inside)
02) Display Data RAM (DDRAM)
❖ Stores data to be display, represented in 8-bit character codes
❖ Capacity is 80 character (bytes)

❖ DDRAM Address layout of a 2x16 LCD

Line 1
Line 2

03) Character Generator RAM (CGRAM)


Understanding LCD (inside)
04)Busy Flag (BF)
❖When BF=1 Lcd is in internal operation mode and can’t accept next instruction
❖It is output to DB7 pin
❖When RS=0 and RW=1 Read busy flag
❖The next instruction must be written after insuring that BF=0
❖See manual page#55
LCD’s internal control accept several commands and modify the display
accordingly.
❖Must write RET at the end of each subroutine

❖Lcall and Scall


❖Jb bit, label (instruction)
again:
jb p1.7,again if p1.7=1 it will jump to label.
