Port 0
Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional
I O port As an output port each pin can sink several
LS TTL inputs Port 0 pins that have 1’s written to
them float and in that state can be used as high-im-
pedance inputs

Port 0 is also the multiplexed low-order address and
data bus during accesses to external Program and
Data Memory In this application it uses strong inter-
nal pullups when emitting 1’s and can source and
sink several LS TTL inputs
Port 0 also receives the code bytes during EPROM
programming and outputs the code bytes during
program verification External pullup resistors are re-
quired during program verification
Port 1
Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I O port with
internal pullups The Port 1 output buffers can drive
LS TTL inputs Port 1 pins that have 1’s written to
them are pulled high by the internal pullups and in
that state can be used as inputs As inputs Port 1
pins that are externally pulled low will source current
(I
IL
on the data sheet) because of the internal pull-
ups
In addition Port 1 serves the functions of the follow-
ing special features of the 87C51FB FC

Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during
fetches from external Program Memory and during
accesses to external Data Memory that use 16-bit
addresses (MOVX
DPTR) In this application it
uses strong internal pullups when emitting 1’s Dur-
ing accesses to external Data Memory that use 8-bit
addresses (MOVX
Ri) Port 2 emits the contents
of the P2 Special Function Register
Some Port 2 pins receive the high-order address bits
during EPROM programming and program verifica-
tion

In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant
rate of
the oscillator frequency and may be used
for external timing or clocking purposes Note how-
ever that one ALE pulse is skipped during each ac-
cess to external Data Memory
Throughout the remainder of this data sheet ALE
will refer to the signal coming out of the ALE PROG
pin and the pin will be referred to as the ALE PROG
pin
PSEN
Program Store Enable is the read strobe to
external Program Memory
When the 87C51FA FB FC is executing code from
external Program Memory PSEN is activated twice
each machine cycle except that two PSEN activa-
tions are skipped during each access to external
Data Memory

strapped to V

fetch code from external Program Memory locations

the Program Lock bits are programmed EA will be
internally latched on reset

OSCILLATOR CHARACTERISTICS
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output respec-
tively of an inverting amplifier which can be config-
ured for use as an on-chip oscillator as shown in
Figure 4 Either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator
may be used More detailed information concerning
the use of the on-chip oscillator is available in Appli-
