Pin Diagram of 8051 – Utility

DIP-40: Pin 40 VCC (+5V), 20 GND, 18-19 XTAL2/XTAL1 (crystal), 9 RST (reset), 29 \overline{PSEN} (ext program enable), 30 ALE/\overline{PROG}, 31 \overline{EA}/VPP, 10-17 P3.0-7, 1-8 P1.0-7, 21-28 P2.0-7, 32-39 P0.0-7.

Utility:

  • P0: AD0-7 multiplexed, needs latch.
  • P2: A8-15.
  • P3 alternates: RxD/TxD/INT0/INT1/T0/T1/WR/RD.
  • Control: ALE latches address, PSEN reads ext ROM, EA selects int/ext program, RST reset high.
  • Power/clock: VCC, GND, XTAL for oscillator.

Diagram description: rectangle with pins labelled clockwise; textual suffices.

Operation: With \overline{EA}=1 internal ROM used up to 4K then external; \overline{EA}=0 all external.
