3. Why Programming is important?
There are three types or levels of
Programming Languages for
8051 Microcontroller.
1. Machine Language
2. Assembly Language
3. High-level Language
Programming in the sense of Microcontrollers means writing
a sequence of instructions to perform a predefined task.

6.  Assembly Language is a pseudo-English representation
of the Machine Language.
 The 8051 Microcontroller Assembly Language is a
combination of English like words called Mnemonics
and Hexadecimal codes.
 It is also a low level language and requires extensive
understanding of the architecture of the Microcontroller.
Why Assembly Language?
6

7.  The Programs written in Assembly gets executed faster and
they occupy less memory.
 With the help of Assembly Language, you can directly
exploit all the features of a Microcontroller.
 Using Assembly Language, you can have direct and
accurate control of all the Microcontroller’s resources like
I/O Ports, RAM, SFRs, etc.
 Compared to High-level Languages, Assembly Language
has less rules and restrictions.

10.  Hex key pad is essentially a collection of 16 keys
arranged in the form of a 4×4 matrix.
 Hex key pad usually
have keys representing
numeric 0 to 9 and
characters A to F.
HEX KEYPAD (or) 4x4 MATRIX
10

11.  The hex keypad has 8 communication lines namely R1,
R2, R3, R4, C1, C2, C3 and C4.
 R1 to R4 represents the four rows.
 C1 to C4 represents the four columns.
 When a particular key is pressed the corresponding row
and column to which the terminals of the key are
connected gets shorted.
11

12.  The program identifies which key is pressed by a
method known as column scanning.
 In this method a particular row is kept low (other rows
are kept high) and the columns are checked for low.
 If a particular column is found low then that means that
the key connected between that column and the
corresponding row (the row that is kept low) is been
pressed.
For example :
If row R1 is initially kept low and column C1 is found
low during scanning, that means key ‘1’ is pressed.

 Label DB can be called as a Look Up Table (LUT).
 Label DB is known as Define Byte – which defines 8 Bit.

27. 1. Initializes PORT 0 as an output port by writing all 0’s to
it
2. PORT 1 as an input port by writing all 1’s to it.
3. Then make Row 1 ‘Low’ by clearing P1.0 and scan the
columns one by one for low using JB instruction.
4. If column C1 is found ‘Low’, that means KEY ‘1’ is
pressed.
5. Accumulator is loaded by zero (A=0) and DISPLAY
subroutine is called.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
27

28. 6. The display subroutine adds the content in A with the
starting address of LUT stored in DPTR (A+DPTR).
7. Load A with the data to which the resultant address
points (using instruction MOVC A,@A+DPTR).
8. The present data in A will be the digit drive pattern for
the current key press.
9. This pattern is put to Port 0 for display.
10. This way the program scans for each key one by one
and puts it on the display if it is found to be pressed.
