This document discusses interfacing devices like LEDs, LCDs, and keyboards to an 8051 microcontroller. It begins by explaining what input/output interfacing is and the differences that exist between CPUs and peripheral devices. It then reviews the pin configuration of the 8051 and the specific devices that will be interfaced: LEDs, an LCD, and a keyboard. Wiring diagrams and code examples are provided for interfacing each device. Key concepts like scanning keyboard rows and columns, sending commands and data to an LCD, and checking an LCD's busy flag are explained.

3. WHAT IS IO INTERFACING
 Input-output interface provides a method for transferring information between
internal storage and external I/O devices.
 Peripherals connected to a microcontroller need special communication links
for interfacing them with the CPU. The purpose of the communication link is to
resolve the differences that exist between the CPU and each peripheral.
The major differences are:
Peripherals are electromechanical and electromagnetic devices and their
manner of operation is different from the operation of the CPU and memory,
which are electronic devices. Therefore, a conversion of signal values may be
required.
The data transfer rate of peripherals is usually slower than the transfer rate of
the CPU, and consequently, a synchronization mechanism may be needed,
etc…..

Each
port0,port1,port2,
port3 are bidirectional
and 8-bit I/O ports.

6. INTERFACING LEDS
• Connection -Port 0 is connected to eight LEDs,
each of them is connected to 5V through a 330
ohm resistor. Port 1 is connected to a DIP switch
and a 10Kohm resistor
• Condition - Corresponding led should light up
when switch is pressed , i.e. if Switch at P1.0 is
pressed then LED at P0.0 should light up.

9. HOW TO PROGRAM ?? ..
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
LOOP:
mov p1,#0ffh ; To
configure
port1 for input.
mov a,p1
mov p0,a
sjmp LOOP ; Stay in infinite
loop
C LANGUAGE
void main()
unsigned char S;
P1= 0xff; //port1 as input
P0= 0x00; //port0 as output
{
while (1)
{
S=P1; //switch value
P0=P1; //display on led
}
}

10. INTERFACING LCD
• LCD is finding widespread use replacing LED
• The declining prices of LCD
• Ability to display numbers, characters and graphics
• Incorporation of a refreshing controller(graphics
controller, e.g. HD44780) within the LCD, there by
relieving the CPU of an additional task.
• LCD is far better than 7 segment display as it has far
better graphics.
• Ease of programming for characters and graphics

13. LCD CONNECTIONS
 To send a command :-
 Specify command to
data pins.
 Make R/W=0 (write
operation)
Make RS=0 (select
command register)
Give a H-to-L pulse to
E(enable pin).
 To send data:-
 Write data to data pins
 R/W =0 (write operation)
 Make RS=1 (select data
register)
 Give a H-to-L pulse to
E(enable pin).Data is written
on positive edge of enable
signal.

14. ANOTHER ASPECT TO BE TAKEN
CARE OF…. BUSY FLAG(D7-PIN)
• Some delay is needed for LCD to successfully process the
command or data(processing time of lcd).
• So, before data to be written, check if lcd is busy(check the D7-
pin status(if 1 then busy)
• Reading the Busy flag.
• Select command register (RS=0)
• Select read operation (R/W=1)
• Send enable signal (E=1)
• Read the flag

15. KEYBOARD
INTERFACING
• Keypad(keyboard) is a widely used input device with lots of
application in our everyday life.
• From a simple telephone to keyboard of a computer, ATM,
electronic lock, elevator, etc., keypad is used to take input
from the user for further processing.
• Keypad is organized as a matrix of switches in rows and
column.

16. SO HOW DOES KEYPADS
WORK??..
11/27/2015
 It’s a matrix of rows and
columns(here 4*4)
 Rows and columns intersect at
16 points.(when pressed)
 One of them are connected to
power supply and other one
grounded…

17. CONNECTIONS TO
PORTS
11/27/2015
Initially all the rows are set to
zero by the controller and the
columns are scanned to check
if any key is pressed. In case
no key is pressed the output of
all the columns will be high.
Whenever a key is pressed the
row and column corresponding
to the key will get short, resulting
in the output of the
corresponding column goes to
low (since we have made all the
rows zero). This gives the
column number of the pressed
key.
Once the column number is detected,
the controller set’s all the rows to
high. Now one by one each row is set
to zero by controller and the earlier
detected column is checked if it
becomes zero. The row
corresponding to which the column
gets zero is the row number of the
digit.
