UNIT-I: OVERVIEW OF ARCHITECTURE & MICROCONTROLLER RESOURCES
Architecture of a microcontroller – Microcontroller resources – Resources in advanced and next
generation microcontrollers – 8051 microcontroller – Internal and External memories – Counters
and Timers – Synchronous serial-cum asynchronous serial communication - Interrupts.
UNIT-II: 8051- MICROCONTROLLERS INSTRUCTION SET
Basic assembly language programming – Data transfer instructions – Data and Bit-manipulation
instructions – Arithmetic instructions – Instructions for Logical operations on the test among the
Registers, Internal RAM, and SFRs – Program flow control instructions – Interrupt control flow.

UNIT-III: REAL TIME CONTROL
INTERRUPTS: Interrupt handling structure of an MCU – Interrupt Latency and Interrupt deadline
– Multiple sources of the interrupts – Non-maskable interrupt sources – Enabling or disabling of
the sources – Polling to determine the interrupt source and assignment of the priorities among
them – Interrupt structure in Intel 8051.
TIMERS: Programmable Timers in the MCU’s – Free running counter and real time control –
Interrupt interval and density constraints.
