Microcontroller & Applications-2019

1.0 FILL IN THE BLANKS


1.1 The maximum clock frequency in which the 8051 works is
_11.059 mhz
1.2 To select external memory in 8051_31(EA’)_pin is used.
1.3 In order for the RESET input to be effective, it must have a
minimum duration of 2 machine cycles.
1.4 PSW stands for program status word
1.5 The address range of general purpose RAM area in 8051
is___00H to 1FH___

2.0 ANSWER ANY FIVE OF THE FOLLOWING


2.1 What are the criteria for selecting the microcontroller?
(Mention any four)
Ans.
 Power efficiency.
 Temperature tolerance.
 Security.
 Hardware architecture.
 Processing power.
 Memory.
 Hardware interface.
 Software architecture

2.2 Differentiate between microprocessor and microcontroller.


Ans.

2.3 Explain about the basic storage element of memory.


Ans. The basic memory element is called the flip-flop or latch. The
memory cell is an electronic circuit that stores one bit of binary
information and it must be set to store a logic 1 (high voltage level)
and reset to store a logic 0 (low voltage level).

2.4 Mention any 4 features of 8051.


Ans. 8 bit MCU.
 128 byte of RAM.
 4Kbytes of on Chip ROM.
 8 bit Bidirectional data bus.
 16 bit uni directional address bus
 32 general purpose register.
 Two 16 bit Timer can operate in multiple mode.

2.5 Specify the function of ALE and PSEN in 8051.


Ans. ALE: This is the address latch enable signal that is used to latch
the address for external memory. PSEN: This is the program store
enable signal that is used for accessing the program memory. 17-24.
Address bus: These pins are used for transmitting the address
information to the external memory.

2.6 Draw the power on reset (POR) in 8051.


Ans.

2.7 What is memory decoding?


Ans. A memory decoding process is a multi-step process, where
many addresses are used to identify the specific memory location. A
memory decoding took place, where, there is a requirement to
access the stored memory in digital electronics
3.0 ANSWER ANY TWO OF THE FOLLOWING.
3.1 Compare Microprocessor and Microcontroller.
Ans.

3.2 Write the function of the following pin in 8051:


a) RST b) XTAL1 & XTAL 2
Ans.
RST- Reset
It resets the microcontroller and is active low,
meaning that it should constantly be given a
voltage of 5V and if 0 V are given then the
controller is reset.

XTAL1 & XTAL2- These pins are connected to an external oscillator


which is generally a quartz crystal oscillator. They are used to provide
an external clock frequency of 4MHz to 30MHz.
3.3 Draw the neat block diagram of 8051 microcontroller.
Ans.

4.0 ANSWER THE FOLLOWING.


4.1 Draw and explain the internal RAM organization in 8051.
Ans.

8051 holds a 128 bytes RAM. Basically, RAM is used to store data or
operands for only a small-time duration. Out of the 128-byte RAM,
first, 32 bytes is held by the working registers. Basically, these are 4
banks which separately has 8 registers.

Internal RAM is volatile, so when the 8051 is reset this memory is


cleared. The 128 bytes of internal ram is subdivided as shown on the
memory map. The first 8 bytes (00h - 07h) are "register bank 0". By
manipulating certain SFRs, a program may choose to use register
banks 1, 2, or 3.
