Instructions

Instruction mnemonics are shown in upper case to avoid confusion.

 

When writing code, either upper case or lower case may be used.

Logic 0 (Low)

An input voltage level equal to or less than the maximum value of

 

VIL or an output voltage level equal to or less than the maximum

 

value of VOL. See data sheet for values.

Logic 1 (High)

An input voltage level equal to or greater than the minimum value of

 

VIH or an output voltage level equal to or greater than the minimum

 

value of VOH. See data sheet for values.

Numbers

Hexadecimal numbers are represented by a string of hexadecimal

 

digits followed by the character H. Decimal and binary numbers are

 

represented by their customary notations. That is, 255 is a decimal

 

number and 1111 1111 is a binary number. In some cases, the letter B

 

is added for clarity.

Register Bits

Bit locations are indexed by 7:0 for byte registers, 15:0 for word

 

registers, and 31:0 for double-word (dword) registers, where bit 0 is

 

the least-significant bit and 7, 15, or 31 is the most-significant bit. An

 

individual bit is represented by the register name, followed by a

 

period and the bit number. For example, PCON.4 is bit 4 of the

 

power control register. In some discussions, bit names are used. For

 

example, the name of PCON.4 is POF, the power-off flag.

Register Names

Register names are shown in upper case. For example, PCON is the

 

power control register. If a register name contains a lowercase

 

character, it represents more than one register. For example,

 

CCAPMx represents the five registers: CCAPM0 through CCAPM4.

Reserved Bits

Some registers contain reserved bits. These bits are not used in this

 

device, but they may be used in future implementations. Do not write

 

a “1” to a reserved bit. The value read from a reserved bit is indeter-

 

minate.

Set and Clear

The terms set and clear refer to the value of a bit or the act of giving

 

it a value. If a bit is set, its value is “1;” setting a bit gives it a “1”

 

value. If a bit is clear, its value is “0;” clearing a bit gives it a “0”

 

value.

Signal Names

Signal names are shown in upper case. When several signals share a

 

common name, an individual signal is represented by the signal name

 

followed by a number. Port pins are represented by the port abbrevi-

 

ation, a period, and the pin number (e.g., P0.0, P0.1). A pound

 

symbol (#) appended to a signal name identifies an active-low signal.

Embedded Microcontroller, 8XC251SP, 8XC251SA, 8XC251SQ, 8XC251SB specifications

The Intel 8XC251 series of embedded microcontrollers is a family of versatile and powerful devices, designed to meet the demands of a wide range of applications. With models such as the 8XC251SB, 8XC251SQ, 8XC251SA, and 8XC251SP, this series offers unique features while maintaining a high level of performance and reliability.

At the heart of the 8XC251 microcontrollers is the 8051 architecture, which provides a 16-bit processor capable of executing complex instructions efficiently. This architecture not only allows for a rich instruction set but also facilitates programming in assembly language and higher-level languages like C, which are essential for developing sophisticated embedded systems.

One of the significant features of the 8XC251 family is its integrated peripherals, including timer/counters, serial communication interfaces, and interrupt systems. These peripherals enable developers to implement timing functions, data communication, and real-time processing, all of which are crucial in modern embedded applications. The 8XC251SB and 8XC251SQ models, for instance, come equipped with multiple I/O ports that allow for interfacing with other devices and systems, enhancing their functionality in various environments.

The memory architecture of the 8XC251 devices is noteworthy, featuring on-chip ROM, RAM, and EEPROM. The on-chip memory allows for fast access times, which is essential for executing programs efficiently. Moreover, the EEPROM serves as non-volatile memory, enabling the storage of configuration settings and important data that must be retained even when power is lost.

In terms of operating voltage, the 8XC251 devices are designed to operate in a wide range, typically between 4.0V and 6.0V. This flexibility makes them suitable for battery-powered applications, where energy efficiency is critical. The power management features, including reduced power modes, further enhance their suitability for portable devices.

Lastly, the 8XC251 series is supported by a wide range of development tools and resources, allowing engineers and developers to streamline the development process. This support, combined with the microcontrollers' robust features, makes the Intel 8XC251 family a reliable choice for various embedded applications, such as industrial automation, automotive systems, and consumer electronics.

Overall, the Intel 8XC251SB, 8XC251SQ, 8XC251SA, and 8XC251SP deliver high performance, versatility, and ease of use, making them a preferred choice for embedded system designers looking to develop efficient and effective solutions.
