8051 Development Board
Description: This chapter describes a simple development board designed for studying the 8051 family of microcontrollers. Unlike the development boards dedicated to the HC11 and AVR families discussed in previous chapters, this project allows users to load and execute programs in an external RAM area that is visible in both the program memory and data memory address space. The schematic of the board is illustrated in Figures 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3. Figure 11.1 displays the microcontroller IC10, the bus demultiplexer IC7, the RS232 interface IC12, the RESET and clock circuits, and the ISP connector SV1. Notably, two NAND gates IC6C and IC6D are present, which implement the logic function AND between the signals RD (Read) and PSEN (Program Store Enable), both of which are active LOW, thereby generating the signal RDPSEN. RDPSEN is active LOW when either RD or PSEN is LOW. This signal is connected to the RD input of an external RAM circuit, enabling the use of this RAM for storing both programs and data. The microcontroller can be any of the 8032, 8051, 8052, AT89C51, or AT89C52, all in a DIP40 package. The input EA (External Access) of the MCU is connected to the jumper JP1, which allows the use of the internal ROM, if available. The jumper should be connected so that EA = 1 to utilize the internal ROM when the external ROM is not present.
The development board schematic is designed to facilitate the educational exploration of the 8051 microcontroller architecture and its operational capabilities. The inclusion of a bus demultiplexer (IC7) allows for efficient management of memory addresses, ensuring that both program and data memory can be accessed seamlessly. The RS232 interface (IC12) provides a means for serial communication with other devices, making it easier to debug and interact with the microcontroller during development.
The RESET and clock circuits are critical for initializing the microcontroller and maintaining its timing operations. Proper management of these signals is essential for reliable performance. The ISP connector (SV1) enables in-system programming, allowing users to update firmware without removing the microcontroller from the board.
The NAND gates (IC6C and IC6D) serve a vital role in integrating the read and program store enable signals, creating a unified control signal (RDPSEN) that governs access to the external RAM. This design choice enhances the flexibility of the board, allowing it to utilize external RAM for both program execution and data storage, thus expanding the capabilities of the 8051 microcontroller.
The choice of microcontroller in a DIP40 package provides versatility, as it supports a range of devices within the 8051 family. The jumper configuration for the EA input allows users to select between internal ROM and external memory options, catering to various application needs. This feature is particularly beneficial for developers who require specific memory configurations for their projects.
Overall, this development board serves as an effective platform for learning and experimentation with the 8051 microcontroller, providing essential features and flexibility for users to explore embedded system design and programming.This chapter contains the description of a simple development board for the study of the 8051 family of microcontrollers Unlike the development boards dedicated to the HC11 and AVR families, presented in the previous chapters, this project allows the user to load and execute programs in an external RAM area, addressed to be visible both in the p rogram memory and data memory address space.
