Composition of 51 microcontroller

Composition of 51 Microcontroller

51 Microcontroller is a common microcontroller which is widely used in various fields. It consists of many chips, and we will introduce the composition of 51 microcontroller in detail below.

Central Processing Unit

Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the core of 51 microcontroller, which determines the performance and function of the microcontroller.51 microcontroller adopts the CPU model 8051, which has 8-bit width data bus, and it can carry out 8-bit data processing.

The 8051 CPU has programmable memory (EPROM or Flash memory) and internal RAM memory, which supports hardware and software interrupts, and can communicate with external devices through peripheral and memory interfaces.

Clock Generator

The clock generator is an important part of the 51 microcontroller, which provides clock signals for the CPU.The clock generator of the 51 microcontroller is usually composed of a crystal oscillator and an on-chip oscillation circuit. The crystal oscillator generates a fixed-frequency oscillating signal, which is turned into a clock signal that meets the needs of the CPU through the oscillation circuit.

The frequency of the clock signal determines the operating speed of the CPU, which is usually 12MHz or 24MHz.

By setting up the clock generator, we can adjust the operating speed of the CPU to meet the needs of different applications.

Memory

Memory is an important part of a 51 microcontroller, which is used to store programs and data.51 microcontrollers usually come with two types of memory: EPROM memory and RAM memory.

EPROM memory is a non-volatile memory that can permanently store program code.EEPROM memory is an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory that can be erased and programmed many times and can be used to store user data.

RAM memory is volatile memory, which is used to store temporary data while a program is being executed.

Serial communication interface

Serial communication interface is an important input/output interface for 51 microcontrollers, which is used to communicate with computers or other devices.51 microcontrollers usually come with two types of serial communication interfaces: UART (Universal Asynchronous Transceiver) and USART (Universal Asynchronous Transceiver and Synchronous Transceiver).

UART is an asynchronous serial communication interface for low-speed serial communication, which can be used to communicate with computers, sensors, signal converters and other devices.

USART is a multifunctional serial communication interface that can support both asynchronous and synchronous serial communication. It can be used to communicate with high-speed devices such as analog modems, specialized embedded systems, and so on.

Timer

Timer is an important part of 51 microcontroller, which can be timed, counted, etc. 51 microcontrollers usually come with two kinds of timers: counter/timer and watchdog timer.

The counter/timer can realize the timing function, and can be used as PWM (pulse width modulation) output to control the speed of the motor and so on. A watchdog timer is a special type of timer that is used to detect system failures and perform automatic restart.

ADC and DAC Interfaces

ADC (analog-to-digital converter) and DAC (digital-to-analog converter) interfaces are analog input/output interfaces commonly used in 51 microcontrollers to convert analog signals to digital signals or digital signals to analog signals.

The ADC interface converts analog signals to digital signals and is used to acquire analog signals such as sound, light, temperature, etc. The DAC interface converts digital signals to analog signals and is used to generate analog signals such as audio, video, voltage, etc. The DAC interface converts digital signals to analog signals and is used to generate analog signals such as audio, video, voltage, etc.

Bus Interface

The bus interface is a communication interface that connects the 51 microcontroller to other chips or modules.51 microcontrollers usually come with one or more bus interfaces, including the I2C bus, SPI bus and CAN bus.

The I2C bus is a serial communication bus for short-distance and multipoint communication.SPI bus is a fast serial communication bus for high-speed communication and long-distance transmission.CAN bus is a serial bus communication protocol commonly used in automobiles, factory automation, and other fields.

Summary

The 51 microcontroller is a powerful microcontroller that consists of a variety of chips, including the CPU, clock generator, memory, serial communication interface, timer, ADC and DAC interfaces, and bus interfaces. These chips form the core of the 51 microcontroller and provide the performance and functionality of the microcontroller.
