Memory Organization
MCS-51 devices have a separate address space for Pro-
gram and Data Memory. Up to 64K bytes each of external
Program and Data Memory can be addressed.
Program Memory
If the EA pin is connected to GND, all program fetches are
directed to external memory.
On the AT87F51RC, if EA
is connected to V
CC
, program
fetches to addresses 0000H through 7FFFH are directed to
internal memory and fetches to addresses 8000H through
FFFFH are to external memory.
Data Memory
The AT87F51RC has internal data memory that is mapped
into four separate segments: the lower 128 bytes of RAM,
upper 128 bytes of RAM, 128 bytes special function regis-
ter (SFR) and 256 bytes expanded RAM (ERAM).
The four segments are:
1. The Lower 128 bytes of RAM (addresses 00H to
7FH) are directly and indirectly addressable.
2. The Upper 128 bytes of RAM (addresses 80H to
FFH) are indirectly addressable only.
3. The Special Function Registers, SFRs, (addresses
80H to FFH) are directly addressable only.
4. The 256-byte expanded RAM (ERAM, 00H-FFH) is
indirectly accessed by MOVX instructions, and with
the EXTRAM bit cleared.
The Lower 128 bytes can be accessed by either direct or
indirect addressing. The Upper 128 bytes can be accessed
by indirect addressing only. The Upper 128 bytes occupy
the same address space as the SFR. This means they
have the same address, but are physically separate from
the SFR space.
When an instruction accesses an internal location above
address 7FH, the CPU knows whether the access is to the
upper 128 bytes of data RAM or to SFR space by the
addressing mode used in the instruction. Instructions that
use direct addressing access SFR space. For example:
MOV 0A0H, # data
accesses the SFR at location 0S0H (which is P2). Instruc-
tions that use indirect addressing access the Upper 128
bytes of data RAM. For example:
MOV@R0, # data
where R0 contains 0A0H, accesses the data byte at
address 0A0H, rather than P2 (whose address is 0A0H).
Note that stack operations are examples of indirect
addressing, so the upper 128 bytes of data RAM are avail-
able as stack space.
The 256 bytes of ERAM can be accessed by indirect
addressing, with EXTRAM bit cleared and MOVX instruc-
tions. This part of memory is physically located on-chip,
logically occupying the first 256 bytes of external data
memory.
Figure 1. Internal and External Data Memory Address
(with EXTRAM = 0)
With EXTRAM = 0, the ERAM is indirectly addressed,
using the MOVX instruction in combination with any of the
registers R0, R1 of the selected bank or DPTR. An access
to ERAM will not affect ports P0, P2, P3.6 (WR
), and P3.7
(RD
). For example, with EXTRAM = 0,
MOVX@R0, # data
where R0 contains 0A0H, accesses the ERAM at address
0A0H rather than external memory. An access to external
data memory locations higher than FFH (i.e. 0100H to
FFFFH) will be performed with the MOVX DPTR instruc-
tions in the same way as in the standard MCS-51, i.e., with
P0 and P2 as data/address bus, and P3.6 and P3.7 as
write and read timing signals. Refer to Figure 1.
With EXTRAM = 1, MOVX @ Ri and MOVX@DPTR will be
similar to the standard MCS-51. MOVX@Ri will provide an
8-bit address multiplexed with data on Port 0 and any out-
put port pins can be used to output higher-order address
bits. This is to provide the external paging capability.
MOVX@DPTR will generate a 16-bit address. Port 2 out-
puts the high-order 8 address bits (the contents of DP0H),
while Port 0 multiplexes the low-order 8 address bits (the
contents of DP0L) with data. MOVX@Ri and
MOVX@DPTR will generate either read or write signals on
P3.6 (WR
) and P3.7 (RD).
The stack pointer (SP) may be located anywhere in the 256
bytes RAM (lower and upper RAM) internal data memory.
The stack may not be located in the ERAM.

Hardware Watchdog Timer
(One-time Enabled with Reset-out)
The WDT is intended as a recovery method in situations
where the CPU may be subjected to software upsets. The
WDT consists of a 14-bit counter and the WatchDog Timer
Reset (WDTRST) SFR. The WDT is defaulted to disable
from exiting reset. To enable the WDT, a user must write
01EH and 0E1H in sequence to the WDTRST register
(SFR location 0A6H). When the WDT is enabled, it will
increment every machine cycle while the oscillator is run-
ning. There is no way to disable the WDT except through
reset (either hardware reset or WDT overflow reset). When
WDT overflows, it will drive an output RESET HIGH pulse
at the RST pin.
Using the WDT
To enable the WDT, a user must write 01EH and 0E1H in
sequence to the WDTRST register (SFR location 0A6H).
When the WDT is enabled, the user needs to service it by
writing 01EH and 0E1H to WDTRST to avoid a WDT over-
flow. The 14-bit counter overflows when it reaches 16383
(3FFFH), and this will reset the device. When the WDT is
enabled, it will increment every machine cycle while the
oscillator is running. This means the user must reset the
WDT at least every 16383 machine cycles. To reset the
WDT the user must write 01EH and 0E1H to WDTRST.
WDTRST is a write-only register. The WDT counter cannot
be read or written. When WDT overflows, it will generate an
output RESET pulse at the RST pin. The RESET pulse
duration is 98xTOSC, where TOSC=1/FOSC. To make the
best use of the WDT, it should be serviced in those sec-
tions of code that will periodically be executed within the
time required to prevent a WDT reset.
WDT During Power-down and Idle
In power-down mode the oscillator stops, which means the
WDT also stops. While in power-down mode, the user does
not need to service the WDT. There are two methods of
exiting power-down mode: by a hardware reset or via a
level-activated external interrupt which is enabled prior to
entering power-down mode. When power-down is exited
with hardware reset, servicing the WDT should occur as it
normally does whenever the AT87F51RC is reset. Exiting
power-down with an interrupt is significantly different. The
interrupt is held low long enough for the oscillator to stabi-
lize. When the interrupt is brought high, the interrupt is ser-
viced. To prevent the WDT from resetting the device while
the interrupt pin is held low, the WDT is not started until the
interrupt is pulled high. It is suggested that the WDT be
reset during the interrupt service for the interrupt used to
exit power-down.
To ensure that the WDT does not overflow within a few
states of exiting power-down, it is best to reset the WDT
just before entering power-down.
Before going into the IDLE mode, the WDIDLE bit in SFR
AUXR is used to determine whether the WDT continues to
count if enabled. The WDT keeps counting during IDLE
(WDIDLE bit = 0) as the default state. To prevent the WDT
from resetting the AT87F51RC while in IDLE mode, the
user should always set up a timer that will periodically exit
IDLE, service the WDT, and reenter IDLE mode.
With WDIDLE bit enabled, the WDT will stop to count in
IDLE mode and resumes the count upon exit from IDLE.
UART
The UART in the AT87F51RC operates the same way as
the UART in the AT89C51, AT89C52 and AT89C55. For
further information, see the December 1997 Microcontroller
Data Book, page 2-48, section titled, “Serial Interface”.
Timer 0 and 1
Timer 0 and Timer 1 in the AT87F51RC operate the same
way as Timer 0 and Timer 1 in the AT87F51 and AT87F52.
Timer 2
Timer 2 is a 16-bit Timer/Counter that can operate as either
a timer or an event counter. The type of operation is
selected by bit C/T2
in the SFR T2CON (shown in Table 2).
Timer 2 has three operating modes: capture, auto-reload
(up or down counting), and baud rate generator. The
modes are selected by bits in T2CON, as shown in Table 4.
Timer 2 consists of two 8-bit registers, TH2 and TL2. In the
Timer function, the TL2 register is incremented every
machine cycle. Since a machine cycle consists of 12 oscil-
lator periods, the count rate is 1/12 of the oscillator fre-
quency.
In the Counter function, the register is incremented in
response to a 1-to-0 transition at its corresponding external
input pin, T2. In this function, the external input is sampled
during S5P2 of every machine cycle. When the samples
show a high in one cycle and a low in the next cycle, the
count is incremented. The new count value appears in the
register during S3P1 of the cycle following the one in which

the transition was detected. Since two machine cycles (24
oscillator periods) are required to recognize a 1-to-0 transi-
tion, the maximum count rate is 1/24 of the oscillator fre-
quency. To ensure that a given level is sampled at least
once before it changes, the level should be held for at least
one full machine cycle.
Capture Mode
In the capture mode, two options are selected by bit
EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer
or counter which upon overflow sets bit TF2 in T2CON.
This bit can then be used to generate an interrupt. If
EXEN2 = 1, Timer 2 performs the same operation, but a 1-
to-0 transition at external input T2EX also causes the cur-
rent value in TH2 and TL2 to be captured into RCAP2H and
RCAP2L, respectively. In addition, the transition at T2EX
causes bit EXF2 in T2CON to be set. The EXF2 bit, like
TF2, can generate an interrupt. The capture mode is illus-
trated in Figure 2.
Auto-Reload (Up or Down Counter)
Timer 2 can be programmed to count up or down when
configured in its 16-bit auto-reload mode. This feature is
invoked by the DCEN (Down Counter Enable) bit located in
the SFR T2MOD (see Table 5). Upon reset, the DCEN bit
is set to 0 so that timer 2 will default to count up. When
DCEN is set, Timer 2 can count up or down, depending on
the value of the T2EX pin.
Figure 2. Timer in Capture Mode
Figure 3 shows Timer 2 automatically counting up when
DCEN=0. In this mode, two options are selected by bit
EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, Timer 2 counts up to
0FFFFH and then sets the TF2 bit upon overflow. The
overflow also causes the timer registers to be reloaded with
the 16-bit value in RCAP2H and RCAP2L. The values in
Timer in Capture ModeRCAP2H and RCAP2L are preset
by software. If EXEN2 = 1, a 16-bit reload can be triggered
either by an overflow or by a 1-to-0 transition at external
input T2EX. This transition also sets the EXF2 bit. Both the
TF2 and EXF2 bits can generate an interrupt if enabled.
Setting the DCEN bit enables Timer 2 to count up or down,
as shown in Figure 3. In this mode, the T2EX pin controls
the direction of the count. A logic 1 at T2EX makes Timer 2
count up. The timer will overflow at 0FFFFH and set the
TF2 bit. This overflow also causes the 16-bit value in
RCAP2H and RCAP2L to be reloaded into the timer regis-
ters, TH2 and TL2, respectively.
A logic 0 at T2EX makes Timer 2 count down. The timer
underflows when TH2 and TL2 equal the values stored in
RCAP2H and RCAP2L. The underflow sets the TF2 bit and
causes 0FFFFH to be reloaded into the timer registers.
The EXF2 bit toggles whenever Timer 2 overflows or
underflows and can be used as a 17th bit of resolution. In
this operating mode, EXF2 does not flag an interrupt.
