 Preface
Microcontroller and Applications

Microcontrollers are small computers that consist of a single System-on-Chip (SoC) that includes
a CPU, memory, and additional peripheral components. By using a single chip, the computing
element's footprint within the entire system package is reduced, obviating the need for additional
chips. Microcontrollers in this category include PIC, 8051 and many more. The 8-bit
Microcontroller C8051F340 from Silicon Labs, which employs the conventional 8051 architecture
with enhanced functionality needed to design embedded products, is included in this course.
Undergraduate students are introduced to the field of microcontrollers, including their definition,
operation, and interface with I/O devices such as keyboards, motors, and displays. Additionally,
hardware-based programming in assembly and embedded C is covered in the microcontroller
course. There will also be an explanation of several system design examples centered around these
CPUs. This course's lab consists of studies involving the C8051F340 peripheral interface.
Assembly and embedded C programming are done using Keil µvision and Simplicity Studio as the
IDE. Knowledge of Microcontroller enhances employability in companies specializing in
hardware development and semiconductor manufacturing. Microcontroller programming skills are
highly sought after by companies involved in the development of embedded products.

Guidelines to use µVISION IDE

Keil MicroVision is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which includes a text editor
to write programs, a compiler to convert the source code to hex files and a debugger to test, verify,
and optimize the application code.

Keil µVision can be used for:

● Writing programs in C/C++ or Assembly language

● Compiling and Assembling Programs
● Debugging program
● Creating Hex and Axf file
● Testing the program without real Hardware (Simulator Mode)

Step 1: After opening Keil uVision, Go to Project tab and

Create new µVision project

Now Select the new folder and give the name to Project.

Step 2: After Creating project now Select your device model eg. Silicon Lab’s C8051F340

Step 3: So now your project is created and the Message window will appear to add the start-up file
of your device. Click on Yes so it will be added to your project folder you are programming in C
and click on No if you are programming in assembly.

Step 4: Now go to File and create new file and save it with .asm extension in the folder where you
created the project if you want to write program in assembly language

Step 5: Now write your program and save it again.

Step 6: After that on the left you see the project window [if it’s not there….go to View tab and
click on restore window to default].

Now come on Project window.

Right click on target and click on options for target

Here you can change your device also.

Step 7: Now Expand target and you will see source group

Right click on group and click on Add existing files to source group

Now add your program file which you have written in C/assembly.

You can see the program file added under the source group.

Step 8: Now Click on translate and then Build target. You can find it under Project tab or in the
toolbar. It can also be done by pressing the F7 key.

Step 9: you can see Status of your program in Build output window

[If it’s not there go to view and click on Build output window]

Now you are done with your program.

 Figure1.1: Programming Languages

Assembly Language is a pseudo-English representation of the Machine Language. The 8051

Microcontroller Assembly Language is a combination of English like words called Mnemonics
and Hexadecimal codes with the following advantages:

▪ The Programs written in Assembly gets executed faster and they occupy less memory.
▪ With the help of Assembly Language, you can directly exploit all the features of a
Microcontroller.
▪ Using Assembly Language, you can have direct and accurate control of all the
Microcontroller’s resources like I/O Ports, RAM, SFRs, etc.
▪ Compared to High-level Languages, Assembly Language has less rules and restrictions.

Aim: Write C program for interfacing of LED, Buzzer, Relay and Switch with C8051F340 to turn
it ON when key is pressed.
Apparatus: EPBF340 Board, ASK25 board, Connectors
Theory:
Ports in C8051F340:
Digital and analog resources are available through 40 I/O pins. These pins are available on ports.
C8051F340 has 5 ports, each port has eight pins. Each of the Port pins can be defined as general-
purpose I/O (GPIO) or analog input. This resource assignment flexibility is achieved through the
use of a Priority Crossbar Decoder. Registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2 are used to assign the
digital I/O resources to the physical I/O Port pins.

Port I/O Initialization

Port I/O initialization consists of the following steps:
Step 1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all Port pins, using the Port Input Mode
register (PnMDIN).
Step 2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all Port pins, using the Port Output
Mode register (PnMDOUT).
Step 3. Select any pins to be skipped by the I/O Crossbar using the Port Skip registers (PnSKIP).
Step 4. Assign Port pins to desired peripherals (XBR0, XBR1) as shown in figure 2.3.

Expt. No 03 & 4: - Interfacing of LED, Buzzer, Relay and Switch with C8051F340
Step 5. Enable the Crossbar (XBARE = ‘1’).

Expt. No 03 & 4: - Interfacing of LED, Buzzer, Relay and Switch with C8051F340
LED, Buzzer, Relay and Switch:

LED: LED is an output device. 8 LEDs are connected to 8 port pins. The LEDs are connected in
common anode configuration. Thus, to turn ON the LED logic ‘0’ must be given and to turn OFF
the led logic ‘1’ must be given.

Buzzer: Buzzer is an output device. The buzzer is turned ON when logic ‘1’ is applied to the port
pin and turned OFF when logic ‘0’ is applied to port pin.

Relay: Relay is an output device. The relay is turned ON when logic ‘0’ is applied to port pin and
turned OFF when logic ‘1’ is applied to the port pin.

Switch/button: Switch is an input device. Push button switches are used. When the switch is
released the port pin has logic ‘1’ and when the switch is pushed the port pin has logic ‘0’.

Performed on:

Submitted on:

Aim: Write C program for interfacing of 16x2 LCD with C8051F340 in 8-bit mode.

Apparatus: EPBF340 Board, ASK25 board, Connectors

Theory:
LCD has the ability to display letters, numbers and characters. A 16x2 LCD can display 16
characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel
matrix.
LCD pin descriptions:
VCC VSS and VEE:
While VCC and VSS provide +5V and ground, respectively, VEE is used for controlling LCD
contrast.
Register Select (RS):
There are two very important registers inside the LCD. The RS pin is used for their
selection as follows.
a. RS = 0: the instruction command code register is selected, allowing the user to send a
command such as clear display, cursor at home.
b. RS = 1: the data register is selected, allowing the user to send the data to be displayed on
the LCD.

Expt. No 05: - Interfacing of LCD

Read/write (R/W):
R/W input allows the user to write information to the LCD or read information from it.
R/W = 1 when reading, R/W = 0 when writing.
Enable (EN):
The enable pin is used by the LCD to latch information presented to its data pins. When
data is supplied to data pins, a high to low pulse must be applied to the pin in order for the LCD
to latch in the data present at the data pins. This pulse must be a minimum of 450ns wide.
Data bus (D0 – D7):
The 8-bit data pins, D0-D7 are used to send the information to the LCD or read the contents
of the LCD’s internal registers. To display the numbers and letters, we send ASCII codes to these
pins while making RS=1.
There are also instruction command codes that can be sent to the LCD to clear the display
or blink the cursor.
We also use RS = 0 to check the busy flag bit to see if the LCD is ready to rMech-R&Aive
information. The busy flag is D& and can be read when R/W = 1 and RS=0. When D7 =1, the
LCD is busy taking care of internal operations and will not accept any new information. When D7
= 0, the LCD is ready to rMech-R&Aive new information.

Submitted on:

Aim: Write C program to generation PWM using C8051F340 to control speed of DC motor

Apparatus: EPBF340 board, DSO, DSO probes, DC motor

Theory:

DC Motors: A direct current (DC) motor is widely used device that translate electrical pulses into
mechanical movement. In the DC motor we have only + and _ leads. Connecting them to a DC
voltage source moves the motor in one direction. By reversing the polarity, the DC motor will
move in the opposite direction.

Unidirectional control:

Figure 7.1: Unidirectional control of DC motor

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):

Expt. No 07: - Generation of PWM using C8051F340 to control speed of DC

The speed of motor depends on the three factors: i) load, ii) voltage, and iii) current. For a given
fixed load we can maintain the steady speed by using a method called pulse width modulation
(PWM). By changing (modulating) the width of the pulse applied to DC motor we can increase or
decrease the amount of power provided to the motor , thereby increasing or decreasing the motor
speed. Notice that although the voltage has a fixed amplitude, it has a variable duty cycle.

PWM generation in C8051F340:

The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides enhanced timer functionality. The PCA
consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer and five 16-bit capture/compare modules. Each
module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its
associated CEXn pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA
counter/timer. The duty cycle of the PWM output signal is varied using the module's PCA0CPLn
capture/compare register.

Aim: Write a C program for serial communication using C8051F340 to transfer data from
C8051F340 to PC

Apparatus: EPBF340 Board, Connectors

Theory: Serial Communication is of two types Synchronous and Asynchronous. The

asynchronous mode is used to connect the C8051F340 to PC serial port for the purpose of full
duplex serial data transfer.C8051F340 has inbuilt UART (Universal Asynchronous RMech-
R&Aiver Transmitter). Baud rate is a significant factor for serial communication of
microcontroller with other devices. For communication with PC the baud rate of 9600 is selected.
baud rate generation:
Timer-1 is used to generate baud rate for mode-1 serial communication by using overflow flag of
the timer to determine the baud frequency. Timer-1 is used in timer mode-2 as an auto-reload 8-
bit timer. The data rate is generated by timer-1 using the following formula.

TH1 = (SYSCLK/Desired baud rate/2/4)

Name of the Experiment: Interfacing of Stepper motor with C8051F340.

Performed on: Marks Teacher’s Signature with date

Submitted on:

Aim: Write C program for interfacing of Stepper motor with C8051F340 to rotate in clockwise
and anticlockwise direction.

Apparatus: EPBF340 board, Stepper motor Board

Theory:
A stepper motor is known by its important property to convert a train of pulses into a
precisely defined increment in the shaft position. A stepper motor is a widely used a device that
translates electrical pulses into mechanical movement. In applications such as disk drivers, dot
matrix printers, and robotics, the stepper motor is used for position control. Every stepper motor
has a permanent magnet rotor ( also called as shaft ) surrounded by a stator the most common
stator motors have four stator windings that are paired with a centre-tapped common as shown in
the figure. This type of stator motor is commonly referred to as four phase stepper motor. The
centre tap allows a change of current direction in each of two coils, when a winding is grounded,
thereby resulting in polarity change of the stator. Notice that while a conventional motor shaft runs
freely, the stepper motor shaft moves in a fixed repeatable increment which allows one to move it
to a precise position.

Expt. No 10: - Interfacing EEPROM using SPI with C8051F340

 Figure 8.1 Stepper motor windings

This repeatable fixed movement is possible as a result of basic magnetic theory where poles
of same polarity repel and opposite attract. The direction of rotation is indicated by the stator poles.
The stator poles are determined by the current sent through the wire coils A, B,C and D as shown
in Figure 8.1. As the direction of current is changed, the polarity is also changed causing the reverse
motion of the rotor. The stepper motor discussed here has a total of six leads: four leads
representing the four stator windings and two commons for the centre tapped leads. As the
sequence of power is applied to each stator winding, the rotor will rotate. There are several widely
used sequences where each has a different degree of precision. The stepping sequence of
excitations is as shown in Table 8.1.

Types of Stepper Motor:

There are three main types of stepper motors, they are:

1. Permanent magnet stepper

2. Hybrid synchronous stepper
3. Variable reluctance stepper

Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor: Permanent magnet motors use a permanent magnet (PM) in
the rotor and operate on the attraction or repulsion between the rotor PM and the stator
electromagnets.

Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor: Variable reluctance (VR) motors have a plain iron rotor
and operate based on the principle that minimum reluctance occurs with minimum gap, hence the
rotor points are attracted toward the stator magnet poles.

Hybrid Synchronous Stepper Motor: Hybrid stepper motors are named because they use a
combination of permanent magnet (PM) and variable reluctance (VR) techniques to achieve
maximum power in a small package size.

Advantages of Stepper Motor:

1. The rotation angle of the motor is proportional to the input pulse.

2. The motor has full torque at standstill.
3. Precise positioning and repeatability of movement since good stepper motors have an
accuracy of 3 – 5% of a step and this error is non-cumulative from one step to the next.
4. Excellent response to starting, stopping and reversing.
5. Very reliable since there are no contact brushes in the motor. Therefore the life of the motor
is simply dependant on the life of the bearing.
6. The motors response to digital input pulses provides open-loop control, making the motor
simpler and less costly to control.

 7. It is possible to achieve very low speed synchronous rotation with a load that is directly
coupled to the shaft.
8. A wide range of rotational speeds can be realized as the speed is proportional to the
frequency of the input pulses.

Applications:

1. Industrial Machines – Stepper motors are used in automotive gauges and machine tooling
automated production equipment.
2. Security – new surveillance products for the security industry.
3. Medical – Stepper motors are used inside medical scanners, samplers, and also found
inside digital dental photography, fluid pumps, respirators and blood analysis machinery.
4. Consumer Electronics – Stepper motors in cameras for automatic digital camera focus
and zoom functions.
