if it is needed that PC3 be reset, then in the control word,

Since it is BSR mode, D7 = '0'.

Since D4, D5, D6 are not used, assume them to be '0'.

PC3 has to be selected, hence, D3 = '0', D2 = '1', D1 = '1'.

PC3 has to be reset, hence, D0 = '0'.

QUESTION 13:
To get 3 displayed by a 7 Segment display(common cathode), what should be the
combination of 8051 pins (P1.7 – P1.0)?

a) 01111101
b) 10111110
c) 01011011
d) 0100 1111
Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution:
