Pin Diagram of 8051 Microcontroller
The 8051 microcontroller is a versatile and widely used device, featuring a 40-pin dual in-line package. Each pin is assigned specific functions, as described below:
1. VCC (Pin 40)
Provides the power supply to the microcontroller, typically +5V.
2. GND (Pin 20)
Ground reference pin, connected to 0V.
3. Port 0 (Pins 32–39)
An 8-bit bidirectional I/O port that can also serve as the low-order address/data bus when interfacing with external memory. External pull-up resistors are required for Port 0.
4. Port 1 (Pins 1–8)
A dedicated 8-bit I/O port used for general-purpose data transfer. Pull-up resistors are internally provided.
5. Port 2 (Pins 21–28)
An 8-bit bidirectional I/O port. When interfacing with external memory, it functions as the higher-order address bus.
6. Port 3 (Pins 10–17)
A multifunctional 8-bit I/O port with special alternate functions, such as: - P3.0: RXD (Serial data input) - P3.1: TXD (Serial data output) - P3.2: INT0 (External interrupt 0) - P3.3: INT1 (External interrupt 1) - P3.4: T0 (Timer 0 input) - P3.5: T1 (Timer 1 input) - P3.6: WR (Write signal for external memory) - P3.7: RD (Read signal for external memory)
7. ALE (Pin 30)
Address Latch Enable. It is used to demultiplex the address and data bus when external memory is used.
8. PSEN (Pin 29)
Program Store Enable. It is an active-low signal used to read data from external program memory. 9. EA (Pin 31) External Access. Determines the memory type used for program storage: - EA = 1: Internal program memory - EA = 0: External program memory
10. XTAL1 and XTAL2 (Pins 19 and 18)
These pins are connected to an external crystal oscillator to provide the clock source for the microcontroller.
11. RST (Pin 9)
Reset. A high pulse on this pin resets the microcontroller, clearing registers and restarting program execution.
