FAQ

What is Microcontroller?

Microcontroller is a combination of two words micro and controller, Micro means small in size and controller means a device that can control the operation of any system. So we can say that a microcontroller is a microprocessor with integrated peripherals.

What is the order decided by a processor or the CPU of a controller to execute an instruction?

First instruction is fetched from Program Memory, then fetching, instruction is decoded to generate control signals to perform the intended task. After decoding, instruction is executed and the complete intended task of that particular instruction.

How are the performance and the computer capability affected by increasing its internal bus width?

As the bus width increases, the number of bits carried by bus at a time increases as a result of which the total performance and computer capability increases.

How many bytes of bit addressable memory is present in 8051 based microcontrollers?

8051 microcontrollers have 16 bytes of bit addressable memory.

How many timers/counter 8051 microcontroller have?

8051 Microcontroller 8051 have 2 timers/counter.

When was intel design first 8051 microcontroller?

8051 microcontroller is designed by Intel in 1981. It is an 8-bit microcontroller

Why is CHMOS technology preferred over HMOS technology for designing the devices of MCS-51 family?

Micro Controllers are made by using the concept of VLSI technology. So here, CMOS based logic gates are coupled together by this technique that consumes low power.

8051 series has how many 16 bit registers?

8051 microcontroller has two 16 bit registers DPTR and PC.

8051 microcontrollers are manufactured by which of the following companies?

8051 microcontrollers are manufactured by Intel, Atmel, Philips/Signetics, Infineon, Dallas Semi/Maxim.

Which IO Port can be used for higher address byte with addresses A8-A15?

PORT2 : This port can be used for higher address byte with addresses A8-A15. When no memory is added then this port can be used as a general input/output port similar to Port 1.
