 Why Embedded C?
• Embedded C programming easier and less time consuming as
compared to assembly

• C is easier to modify and update

• Readymade libraries can be used

• Portable with multiple controller families

 Structure of programming
• Include header files
• Declare global variables
• Define function
• Define main function
• Define local variable
• Initialize variables
• Define body for the function
• Repeat process

 Various data types

As 8051 is 8-bit controller, unsigned char is most widely

used as data type
2/12/2022 6
 Various data types
• Unsigned char:
• 8051 is an 8-bitcontroller
• 8 bit datatype
• Takes values from 0-255 [00h to FFh ]

• Signed char:
• 8-bit datatype
• MSB bit [D7] is used to represent the +/- value
• Gives values from -128 to +127

2/12/2022 7
 Various data types
• Unsigned int :
• 16 bit datatype
• Takes values from range –65535[0000h to FFFFH]
• Used to define 16 bit variable like,
• Memory location address
• Set counter value of more than 256
• Signed int :
• 16 bit datatype
• MSB bit [D15]is used to represent -/+ value
• Takes values from range –32768 to 32767
• sbit : Used to access single bit addressable register
2/12/2022 8
 Various data types
• It contains 4 I/O Ports
– PORT P0
– PORT P1
– PORT P2
– PORT P3
• All are 8 bit and bit programmable
• All PORT’s upon RESET configured as input
– When written as ‘0’ PORTS  Output
– When written as ‘1’ PORTS  Input

 Various data types
Writing data to PORT Reading data from PORT

• Suppose 0x55 is a 8 bit data • Suppose contents of port P2

that we want to send on port are 0x65 and we want to assign
P1 then it is written as, it to unsigned char x then it is
written as,
P1=0x55 x=P2

 Logical Operators

2/12/2022 11
 Program Statement
• Write an 8051 C program to send values 00-FF to port P1.
• Write an 8051 C program to toggle bits of P1 ports continuously with
a 250 ms.
• Write an 8051 C program to get a byte of data form P1, wait ½
second, and then send it to P2.
• Write an 8051 C program to get a byte of data form P0. If it is less
than 100, send it to P1; otherwise, send it to P2.
• Write an 8051 C program to convert 11111101 (FD hex) to decimal
and display the digits on P0, P1 and P2.

2/12/2022 12
 Program Statement
• Write an 8051 C program to toggle only bit P2.4 continuously without
disturbing the rest of the bits of P2

• Write an 8051 C program to monitor bit P1.5. If it is high, send 55H to

P0; otherwise, send AAH to P2.

• A door sensor is connected to the P1.1 pin, and a buzzer is connected

to P1.7. Write an 8051 C program to monitor the door sensor, and
when it opens, sound the buzzer. You can sound the buzzer by
sending a square wave of a few hundred Hz .
