15: Microprocessor and

microcontroller
Lecture 14
15.1: Control
• µprocessor systems – use as control
system and are term as embedded
microprocessor
• Dedicated to controlling a specific function
• Self-started, self-contained with own
operating program
• Requiring no human intervention
15.2: Microprocessor systems
• Have 3 parts:
1. Central processing unit (CPU) – recognise
and carry out program instruction
2. Input/output interface – handle
communication between computer and
outside world
3. Memory – to hold program instructions and
data

• µprocessor with memory and various


input/output arrangement all on the same
chip - microcontroller
15.2.1: Busses
• Digital signals move from one section to
one another along paths called buses
1. Data bus – data associated with processing
function of CPU
2. Address bus – indicate where data to be
found, selection of memory or input/output
ports
3. Control bus – carry out signals related to
control actions i.e. READ, WRITE
General form of microprocessor system
15.2.2: General architecture of µp
• Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) – to
perform data manipulation

• Register – temporarily hold internal data


that CPU is currently used

• Control unit – determine timing and


sequence of operations
General internal architecture of microprocessor
system
Registers – temporary storage
1. Accumulator – data for i/p to ALU
2. Status register – flags, indicate status of latest
operation
3. Program counter (PC) or instruction pointer (IP)
– keep track position of instruction in a program
4. Memory address – address of data
5. Instruction register (IR) – store instruction
6. General purpose register – temporary storage
for data or address
7. Stack pointer register (SP) – form address
which defines top of stack in RAM
15.2.3: Memory
• Memory unit – stores binary data and takes the
form of one or more integrated circuits
1. ROM – read only memory, fixed program i.e.
operating system
2. PROM – programmable ROM, used for ROM
chip that can be programmed by user
3. EPROM – erasable and programmable ROM,
4. EEPROM – electrical and erasable PROM,
erasure b high voltage
5. RAM – random access memory, temporary data

• Programs stored in ROM – firmware, RAM used


program storage - software
15.3: Microcontroller
• Integration of a microprocessor and
input/output interfaces and other peripherals
such as timers, on a single chip

• Has pins for external connections –i/o,


power, clock, control signals

• i/o ports – single port 8-bit word or two ports


16-bit word

Applications of Microcontroller
• Electronic gadget
• Mobile phone
• Toys
• Robotics
• Radio
• DVD player
• etc
• There are a lot of different microcontrollers
available in the market. For example, Atmel,
Motorola, Intel and PIC.
• Each one has its own advantages and
disadvantages.
• There are a lot of similarities between the
microcontrollers.
• Emphasis on PIC16F877A.
15.3.3: Microchip microcontroller
• PIC microcontroller – Peripheral Interface
Controller
• E.g. PIC16AXX, PIC16FXX,
• Harvard architecture – instruction are
fetched from program memory using
busses that are distinct
Harvard architecture
PIC16C74A
Why PIC?

• Easy to buy, inexpensive, low cost development


tools and powerful.
• You can get from Farnell, RS and Hitectron. You
can even get free sample from Microchip website.
• The development software is distributed as
freeware (MPLAP, PCCLITE and ICPROG).
• One basic microcontroller system cost less than
RM 50.
PIC FAMILY
CORE
PICs come with 1 of 4 CPU ‘cores’:

• 12bit cores with 33 instructions: 12C50x, 16C5x

• 14bit cores with 35 instructions:


12C67x,16Cxxx,16Fxxx

• 16bit cores with 58 instructions: 17C4x,17C7xx

• ‘Enhanced’ 16bit cores with 77 instructions:

PACKAGING

PICs come in a huge variety of packages:

8 pin DIPs, SOICs: 12C50x (12bit) and 12C67x (14bit)


18pin DIPs, SOICs: 16C5X (12bit), 16Cxxx (14bit), 16Fxxx

SPEED
PICs require a clock to work.
• Can use crystals, clock oscillators, or even an RC circuit.
• Some PICs have a built in 4MHz RC clock. Not very accurate,
but requires no external components!
• Instruction speed = 1/4 clock speed (Tcyc = 4 * Tclk)
• All PICs can be run from DC to their maximum spec’d speed:

12C50x 4MHz
12C67x 10MHz
16Cxxx, 16Fxxx 20MHz
17C4x / 17C7xxx 33MHz
18Cxxx, 18Fxxx 40MHz

MEMORY
PIC program space is different for each chip.

Some examples are:

16C71C 1024 (1k) 14bit instructions
16F84A 1024 (1k) 14bit instructions
16F877 8192 (8k) 14bit instructions
17C766 16384 (16k) 16bit instructions
PIC FAMILY
PROGRAM MEMORY
PICs have two different types of program storage:
1. EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
• Needs high voltage from a programmer to program (~13V)
• Needs windowed chips and UV light to erase
• Note: One Time Programmable (OTP) chips are EPROM chips,
but with no window!
• PIC Examples: Any ‘C’ part: 12C50x, 17C7xx, etc.
2. FLASH
• Re-writable (even by chip itself)
• Much faster to develop on!
• Finite number of writes (~100k Writes)
• PIC Examples: Any ‘F’ part: 16F84, 16F87x, 18Fxxx (future)
PIC FAMILY
DIGITAL I/O PORT
• All PICs have digital I/O pins, called ‘Ports’
– the 8pin 12C508 has 1 Port with 4 digital I/O pins
– the 18pin 16F84A has 2 Ports with 13 digital I/O pins
– the 40pin 16F877A has 5 Ports with 33 digital I/O pins
– the 68pin 17C766 has 9 Ports with 66 digital I/O pins
• Ports have 2 control registers
– TRISx sets whether each pin is an input or output
– PORTx sets their output bit levels
• Most pins have 25mA source/sink (directly drives LEDs)
