13. Microprocessor
?A microprocessor is a programmable digital electronic
component that incorporates the functions of a central
processing unit (CPU) on a single semiconducting integrated
circuit (IC).
?The prime use of a microprocessor is to read data, perform
extensive calculations on that data, and store those
calculations in a mass storage device or display the results for
human use.
?The programs used by the microprocessors are stored in the
mass storage device & loaded into RAM as the user directs.
15. Microcontroller
?An embedded microcontroller is a microcomputer that
contains most of its peripherals & required memory inside
a single integrated circuit along with the CPU.
?They have a high concentration of on-chip facilities such
as serial ports, parallel input/output ports, timers,
counters, interrupt control, analog-to-digital converters,
random access memory, read only memory, etc.
?The prime use of a microcontroller is to control the
operation of a machine using fixed program that is stored
in ROM & that does not change over the lifetime of the
system.
16. Microcontroller
? Uses:
1. Microcontrollers have become common in many areas, and
can be found in home appliances, computer equipment, and
instrumentation.
2. They are often used in automobiles, and have many industrial
uses as well, and have become a central part of industrial
robotics.
3. Because they are usually used to control a single process and
execute simple instructions, microcontrollers do not require
significant processing power.
17. ? Uses conti¡..
4. Microcontrollers are hidden inside a surprising
number of products these days.
5. If your microwave oven has an LED or LCD screen
and a keypad, it contains a microcontroller.
6. All modern automobiles contain at least one
microcontroller. The engine is controlled by a
microcontroller, as are the anti-lock brakes, the cruise
control and so on..
18. 1. Meeting the computing needs of the task efficiently and cost

20. Why do we need to learn
Microprocessors/controllers?
?The microprocessor is the core of computer
systems.
?Nowadays many communication, digital
entertainment, portable devices, are
controlled by them.
?A designer should know what types of
components he needs, ways to reduce
production costs and product reliable.

power and space are critical
? single-purpose
? Ex. 8051, PIC mc, Motorola
MC¡¯s, Phillips, etc.
Microprocessor v/s Microcontroller
23. The 8051 Microcontroller:
?The 8051 is the first microcontroller of the MCS-51 family
introduced by Intel Corporation at the end of the 1970¡¯s.
?The 8051 family characteristics:
?4K Bytes ROM
?128 Bytes RAM
?two timer/counters (16 bit)
?A serial port
?4 general purpose parallel input/output port
?Interrupt controller
The 8051 can address 64K of external data memory and
64K of External program memory.
39. Timers/Counters
?A timer is a counter that is increased with every time an
instruction is executed e.g. 8051 with 12MHz increases a
counter every 1.085 ?s
?General 8051 has 3 timer:
?Two 16-bit timer
?One 16-bit timer with extra-functionality (introduced with
the 8052)
?The counters are divided into two 8-Bit registers called the
timer low (TL0, TL1) and high (TH0, TH1) bytes.
?All counters action is controlled by bit states in the timer
mode control register (TMOD), the timer/counter control
register (TCON), and certain program instructions.
40. Timers/counters
?Timer: measures time intervals
?To generate timed output events
? e.g., hold traffic light green for 10 s
?To measure input events
? e.g., measure a car¡¯s speed
?Based on counting clock pulses
? E.g., let Clk period be 10 ns
? And we count 20,000 Clk pulses
? Then 200 microseconds have passed
? 16-bit counter would count up to 65,535*10
ns = 655.35 microsecond., resolution = 10 ns

41. Counters
?Counter: like a timer, but
counts pulses on a general
input signal rather than clock
?e.g., count cars passing over a
sensor

52. Light Emitting diode
?It is single light display that include incandescent
and are treated as single binary points to be
switched off and on by program instructions
.
?It has two pins, first is connected to port and
second one is grounded (vss).
?It requires a high logic to glow from the port pin.
54. ?Seven-segment displays commonly contain LED
segments which arranged as an 8 with a common
lead (cathode or anode) and 7 individual leads for
each segment.
?Block Diagram shows a common cathode type of
segment
?In common cathode to lit a segment a high input
logic is required.
?In common anode to lit a segment a low input logic
is required.
56. LCD
?It is an Intelligent Alphanumeric display which can
be used to display numbers, characters, and graphics.
?It has 14 pins as shown in pin diagram.
?Display contains 2 internal byte wide registers, one
for command (RS=0) and one for display (RS=1).
?There are certain commands to be send to the Lcd
for making some setting such as clear screen, force
the cursor to home position and blink the cursor.
?R/W pin is set to 1 for reading and to 0 for writing.
?EN pin is set to 1 for enabling display.
?DB0-DB7 are pins for 8-bit data bus.

71. ? In this project we try to give the same prototype for this type of trains.
?The train is designed for three stations, named as Jaipur railway station,
Sitapura & GIT College.
? The stoppage time is of 3 sec & time between two consecutive stations is 6
sec.
? There are indicators, which are used to show the train direction i.e. UP path &
Down path.
? Before stopping at station the train blows the buzzer.
? It also includes an emergency brake system due to which the train stops as
soon as the brakes are applied and resumes journey when the emergency situation
is over.
? The coding of the metro train prototype is given in the assembly language.
72. Why we choose this project ?
?Our approach is to gain knowledge of Interfacing different
devices with Microcontroller for useful applications and to
fulfill the Hardware Module requirement of college
authorities.
?This is such a project which can be used to perform any
kind of application depend on the modules which are
interfaced.
?These leads us to Microcontroller Based Embedded
System.
73. Applications
?By interfacing STEPPER MOTOR with Microcontroller, we
can make the trainer kit which controls the motion of
train.
?We can also generate various types of waves such as
square, triangular and saw tooth in accordance with the
programme fed in 8051, 89c51, etc. chip.
?Initially we interfaced LED, 7-segment and Keyboard and
check programme which is the purpose of trainer Kit.
?In these way we go step by step for each module interface
and accomplish the goal of making a well-functioning
Trainer Kit.
?Finally we will add some features by interfacing Sensors
