DESCRIPTION
The 80CL51 is manufactured in an advanced CMOS technology.
The instruction set of the 80CL51 is based on that of the 8051. The
80CL51 is a general purpose microcontroller especially suited for
battery-powered applications. The device has low power
consumption and a wide range of supply voltage. For emulation
purposes, the 85CL000 (Piggy-back version) with 256 bytes of RAM
is recommended. The 80CL51 has two software selectable modes
of reduced activity for further power reduction: Idle and Power-down.
The 80CL51 also functions as an arithmetic processor having
facilities for both binary and BCD arithmetic plus bit-handling
capabilities. The instruction set consists of over 100 instructions: 49
one-byte, 46 two-byte, and 16 three-byte.
The P80CL31 is the ROMless version of the P80CL51. P80C51 is a
5V version of the low voltage P80CL51.

The 80CL51 is a stand-alone high-performance CMOS
microcontroller designed for use in real-time applications such as
instrumentation, industrial control, intelligent computer peripherals
and consumer products.
The device provides hardware features, architectural enhancements
and new instructions to function as a controller for applications
requiring up to 64K bytes of program memory and/or up to 64K
bytes of data storage.
The 80CL51 contains a non-volatile 4K byte × 8 read-only program
memory; a static 128 byte × 8 read/write data memory; 32 1/0 lines;
two 16-bit timer/event counters; a thirteen- source two priority-level,
nested interrupt structure and on-chip oscillator and timing circuit.
The device has two software selectable modes of reduced activity
for power reduction: IDLE and Power-down. The Idle mode freezes
the CPU while allowing the RAM, timers, serial I/O and interrupt
system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the
RAM contents but freezes the oscillator causing all other chip
functions to be inoperative.
The P80C51 is a 5V version of the low voltage microcontroller
P80CL51. Hereafter the generic term P80CL51 will be used for the
functional description of both types. The special features of the
P80C51 are handled in chapter 1.9.
CPU timing
A machine cycle consists of a sequence of 6 states. Each state time
lasts for two oscillator periods, thus a machine cycle takes 12
oscillator periods or 1µs if the oscillator frequency is 12MHz.
1.1 Memory organization
The 80CL51 has a 4K Program Memory (ROM) plus 128 bytes of
Data Memory (RAM) on board. The device has separate address
spaces for Program and Data Memory (see Memory Map). Using
Ports P0 and P2, the 80CL51 can address up to 64K bytes of
external memory . The CPU generates both read and write signals
(RD and WR) for external Data Memory accesses, and the read
strobe (PSEN) for external Program Memory.
1.1.1 Program Memory
The 80CL51 contains 4K bytes of internal ROM. After reset the CPU
begins execution at location 0000H. The lower 4K bytes of Program
Memory can be implemented in either on- chip ROM or external
Memory. If the EA pin is strapped to V
, then program memory
DD
fetches from addresses 000H through 0FFFH are directed to the
internal ROM. Fetches from addresses 1000H through FFFFH are
directed to external ROM. Program counter values greater than
0FFFH are automatically addressed to external memory regardless
of the state of the EA pin.
1.1.2 Data Memory
The 80CL51 contains 128 bytes of internal RAM and 25 Special
Function Registers (SFR). The Memory Map below shows the
internal Data Memory space divided into the Lower 128, the Upper
128, and the SFR space.
The lower 128 bytes of the internal RAM are organized as mapped
in Figure 1. The lowest 32 bytes are grouped into 4 banks of 8
registers. Program instructions refer to these registers R0 through
R7. Two bits in the Program Status Word select which register bank
is in use. The next 16 bytes above the register banks form a block of
bit-addressable memory space. The 128 bits in this area can be
directly addressed by the single-bit manipulation instructions. The
remaining registers (30H to 7FH) are directly and indirectly byte
addressable.
1.1.3 Special Function Registers
The upper 128 bytes are the address locations of the SFRs. Figure
2 shows the Special Function Register (SFR) space. SFRs include
the port latches, timers, peripheral control, serial I/O registers, etc.
These registers can only be accessed by direct addressing. There
are 128 addressable locations in the SFR address space (SFRs with
addresses divisible by eight).
1.1.4 Addressing
The 80CL51 has five methods for addressing source operands:
The first three methods can be used for addressing destination
operands. Most instructions have a “destination/source” filed that
specifies data type, addressing methods and operands involved. For
operations other than MOVs, the destination operand is also a
source operand.
Access to memory addressing is as follows:
– Registers in one of the four register banks through register,
direct or indirect.
– Internal RAM (128 bytes) through direct or register-indirect.
– Special Function Register through Direct.
– External data memory through Register-lndirect
– Program memory look-up tables through Base-Register-Plus
Index-Register-Indirect.
1.2 I/O Facilities
1.2.1 Ports
The 80CL51 has 32 I/O lines treated as 32 individually addressable
bits or as four parallel 8- bit addressable ports. Port 0, 1, 2 and 3
perform the following alternate functions:
Port 0:provides the multiplexed low-order address and data bus
for expanding the device with standard memories and
peripherals.
Port 1:provides the inputs for the external interrupts INT2/lNT9.
Port 2:provides the high-order address when expanding the
device with external program or data memory.
Port 3:pins can be configured individually to provide:
(1) external interrupt request inputs
(2) counter input
(3) control signals to read and write to external memories
(4) UART input and output
To enable a Port 3 pin alternate function, the Port 3 bit latch in its
SFR must contain a logic 1.
Each port consists of a latch (Special Function Registers P0 to P3),
an output driver and an input buffer. Ports 1,2,3 have internal pull
ups. Figure 3(a) shows that the strong transistor p1 is turned on for
only 2 oscillator periods after a 0-to-1 transition in the port latch.
When on, it turns on p3 (a weak pull up) through the inverter. This
inverter and p3 form a latch which hold the 1. In Port 0 the pull up p1
is only on when emitting 1s for external memory access. Writing a 1
to a Port 0 bit latch leaves both output transistors switched off so the
pin can be used as a high-impedance input.
1.2.2 Port Options
The pins of port 1, port 2, and port 3 may be individually configured
with one of the following options (see Figure 3):
Option 1: Standard Port; quasi-bidirectional I/O with pull up. The
strong booster pull up p1 is turned on for two oscillator
periods after a 0-to-1 transition in the port latch (see
Figure 3(a)).
Option 2: Open drain; quasi-bidirectional I/O with n-channel open
drain output. Use as an output requires the connection of
an external pull up resistor (see Figure 3(c)).
Option 3: Push-Pull; output with drive capability in both polarities.
Under this option, pins can only be used as outputs. See
Figure 3(b).
The definition of port options for port 0 is slightly different. T wo
cases have to be examined. First, accesses to external memory
(EA=0 or access above the built -in memory boundary), second, I/O
accesses.
External Memory Accesses
Option 1: True 0 and 1 are written as address to the external
memory (strong pull up is used).
Option 2: An external pull up resistor is needed for external
accesses.
Option 3: Not allowed for external memory access as the port can
only be used as output.
I/O Accesses
Option 1: When writing a 1 to the port-latch, the strong pull up p1
will be on for 2 oscillator periods. No weak pull up exists.
Without an external pull up, this option can be used as a
high-impedance input.

Option 2: Open drain; quasi-bidirectional I/O with n-channel open

Option 3: Push-Pull; output with drive capability in both polarities.
Under this option, pins can only be used as outputs.
Individual mask selection of the post-reset state is available on any
of the above pins. Make your selection by appending “S” or “R” to
option 1, 2, or 3 above (e.g. 1 S for a standard I/O to be set after
RESET or 2R for an open-drain I/O to be reset after RESET).
1.3 Timer/event counter
The 80CL51 contains two 16-bit Timer/Counter registers, T imer 0
and Timer 1, which can perform the following functions:
– Measure time intervals and pulse durations
– Count events
– Generate interrupts requests
Timer 0 and Timer 1 can be independently programmed to operate
as follows:
Mode 0 - 8-bit timer or counter with divide-by-32 prescaler
1.4 Idle and Power-down operation
Idle mode operation permits the interrupt, serial port and timer
blocks to continue functioning while the clock to the CPU is halted.
The following functions remain active during Idle mode:
Mode 1 - 16-bit time-interval or event counter
Mode 2 - 8-bit time interval or event counter with automatic reload
upon overflow
Mode 3 - Timer 0 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate
counters.
In the “Timer” function, the register is incremented every machine
cycle. Since a machine cycle consists of 12 oscillator periods, the
count rate is 1/12 of the oscillator frequency.
In the “Counter” function, the register is incremented in response to
a 1-to-0 transition. Since it takes 2 machine cycles (24 oscillator
The Power-down operation freezes the oscillator. The Power-down
mode can only be activated by setting the PD bit in the PCON
register.

periods) to recognize a 1-to-0 transition, the maximum count rate is
1/24 of the oscillator frequency. To ensure a given level is sampled,
it should be held for at least one full machine cycle.

The instruction setting PCON.1 is the last executed prior to going
into the Power-down mode. In Power-down mode the oscillator is
stopped. The contents of the on-chip RAM and SFRs are preserved.

consumption. However, the supply voltage must not be reduced until
Power-down mode is active, and must be restored before the
hardware reset is applied and frees the oscillator. Reset must be
held active until the oscillator has restarted and stabilized.
The wake-up operation after power-down in this controller has two
basic approaches:
1.4.2.1 Wake-up using INT2 to INT9
If INT2 to INT9 are enabled, the 80CL51 can be awakened from
power-down mode with the external interrupts. To ensure that the
oscillator is stable before the controller restarts, the internal clock
will remain inactive for 1536 oscillator periods. This is controlled by
an on-chip delay counter.
1.4.2.2 Wake-up using RESET
To wake-up the 80CL51 the RESET pin has to be kept HIGH for a
minimum of 24 oscillator periods. The on-chip delay counter is
inactive. The user has to ensure that the oscillator is stable before
any operation is attempted. Figure 5 illustrates the two possibilities
for wake-up.
1.4.3 Idle mode
The instruction that sets PCON.0 is the last instruction executed
before going into Idle mode. Once in the Idle mode, the internal
clock is gated away from the CPU, but not from the Interrupt, Timer
and Serial port functions. The CPU status is preserved along with
the Stack Pointer, Program Counter, Program Status Word and
Accumulator. The RAM and all other registers maintain their data
during Idle mode. The port pins retain the logical states they held at
Idle mode activation. ALE and PSEN hold at the logic HIGH level.
There are two methods used to terminate the Idle mode. Activation
of any enabled interrupt will cause PCON to be cleared by
hardware, terminating Idle mode. The interrupt is serviced, and
following the instruction RETI, the next instruction to be executed
will be the one following the instruction that put the device in the Idle
mode.
Flag bits GF0 and GF1 may be used to determine whether the
interrupt was received during normal execution or Idle mode. For
example, the instruction that writes to PCON.0 can also set or clear
one or both flag bits. When Idle mode is terminated by an interrupt,
the service routine can examine the status of the flag bits.
The second method of terminating the Idle mode is with an external
hardware reset. Since the oscillator is still running, the hardware
reset is required to be active for only two machine cycles to
complete the reset operation.
Reset redefines all SFRs, but does not affect the on-chip RAM.
The status of the external pins during Idle and Power-down mode is
shown in Table 1. If the Power-down mode is activated while
accessing external memory, port data held in the Special Function
Register P2 is restored to Port 2. If the data is a logic 1, the port pin
is held HIGH during the Power-down mode by the strong pull up
transistor p1 (see Figure 3(a)).

This serial port is full duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive
simultaneously. It is also receive-buffered, meaning it can
commence reception of a second byte before a previously received
byte has been read from the register. (However, if the first byte still
hasn’t been read by the time reception of the second byte is
complete, one of the bytes will be lost). The serial port receive and
transmit registers are both accessed at Special Function Register
S0BUF. Writing to S0BUF loads the transmit register, and reading
S0BUF loads the transmit register, and reading S0BUF accesses a
physically separate receive register.
The serial port can operate in 4 modes:
Mode 0: Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD outputs the
shift clock. 8 bits are transmitted/ received (LSB first). The
baud is fixed at 1/12 the oscillator frequency.
Mode 1: 10 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through
RxD): a start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit
(1). On receive, the stop bit goes into RB8 in Special
Function Register SCON. The baud rate is variable.
Mode 2: 11 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through
RxD): start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable
9th data bit, and a stop bit (1). On Transmit, the 9th data
bit (TB8 in SCON) can be assigned the value of 0 or 1.
Or, for example, the parity bit (P, in the PSW) could be
moved into TB8. On receive, the 9th data bit goes into
RB8 in Special Function Register SCON, while the stop
bit is ignored. The baud rate is programmable to either
1/32 or 1/64 the oscillator frequency.
Mode 3: 11 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through
RxD): a start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a
programmable 9th data bit and a stop bit (1). In fact,
Mode 3 is the same as Mode 2 in all respects except
baud rate. The baud rate in Mode 3 is variable.
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction that
uses S0BUF as a destination register. Reception is initiated in Mode
0 by the condition Rl = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is initiated in the
other modes by the incoming start bit if REN = 1.
1.5.1 Multiprocessor communications
Modes 2 and 3 have a special provision for multiprocessor
communications. In these modes, 9 data bits are received. The 9th
one goes into RB8. Then comes a stop bit. The port can be
programmed such that when the stop bit is received, the serial port
interrupt will be activated only if RB8 = 1. This feature is enabled by
setting bit SM2 in SCON. A way to use this feature in multiprocessor
systems is as follows:
When the master processor wants to transmit a block of data to one
of several slaves, it first sends out an address byte which identifies
the target slave. An address byte differs from a data byte in that the
9th bit is 1 in an address byte and 0 in a data byte. With SM2 = 1, no
slave will be interrupted by a data byte. An address byte, however,
will interrupt all slaves, so that each slave can examine the received
byte and see if it is being addressed. The addressed slave will clear
its SM2 bit and prepare to receive the data bytes that will be coming.
The slaves that weren’t being addressed leave their SM2s set and
go on about their business, ignoring the coming data bytes.
SM2 has no effect in Mode 0, and in Mode 1 can be used to check
the validity of the stop bit. In a Mode 1 reception, if SM2 = 1, the
receive interrupt will not be activated unless a valid stop bit is
received.
1.5.2 Serial port control register
The serial port control and status register is the Special Function
Register S0CON, shown in Figure 6. The register contains not only
the mode selection bits, but also the 9th data bit for transmit and
receive (TB8 and RB8), and the serial port interrupt bits (T1 and
R1). See next page.
Baud Rates
The baud rate in Mode 0 is fixed: Mode 0 Baud Rate = Oscillator
Frequency /12. The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of bit
SMOD in Special Function Register PCON. If SMOD = 0 (which is
the value on reset), the baud rate is 1/64 the oscillator frequency. If
SMOD = 1, the baud rate is 1/32 the oscillator frequency.
SMOD
Mode 2 Baud Rate = (2
The baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the Timer 1
overflow rate.
Using Timer 1 to generate baud rates
When Timer 1 is used as the baud rate generator , the baud rates in
Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate and the
value of SMOD as follows:
SMOD
/32)(Timer 1 Overflow Rate)
(2
The Timer 1 interrupt should be disabled in this application. The
Timer itself can be configured for either “timer” or “counter”
operation, and in any of its 3 running modes. In the most typical
applications, it is configured for “timer operation, in the auto-reload
mode (high nibble of TMOD = 0010B). In that case the baud rate is
given by the formula:
Mode 1, 3 Baud Rate =
SMOD
{(2
One can achieve very low baud rates with Timer 1 by leaving the
Timer 1 interrupt enabled, and configuring this Timer to run as a
16-bit timer (high nibble of TMOD = 0001B), and using the Timer 1
interrupt to do a 16-bit software reload. Table 2 lists various
commonly used baud rates and how they can be obtained from
Timer 1.
More about Mode 0
Figure 7 shows a simplified functional diagram of the serial port in
Mode 0, and associated timing. Transmission is initiated by any
instruction that uses S0BUF as a destination register. The “write to
S0BUF” signal at S6P2 also loads a 1 into the 9th position of the
transmit shift register and tells the TX Control block to commence a
transmission. The internal timing is such that the one full machine
cycle will elapse between “write to S0BUF”, and activation of SEND.
SEND enables the output of the shift register to the alternate output
function line of P3.0 and also enables SHIFT CLOCK to the
alternate output function line of P3.1. SHIFT CLOCK is low during
S3, S4, and S5 of every machine cycle, and high during S6, S1 and
S2. At S6P2 of every machine cycle in which SEND is active, the
contents of the transmit shift are shifted to the right one position.
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros come in from the left. When
the MSB of the data byte is at the output position of the shift register,
then the 1 that was initially loaded into the 9th position is just to the
left of the MSB, and all positions to the left of that contain zeros.
This condition flags the TX Control block to do one last shift and
then deactivate SEND and set T1. Both of these actions occur at
S1P1 of the 10th machine cycle after “write to S0BUF”.
Reception is initiated by the condition REN = 1 and R1 = 0. At S6P2
of the next machine cycle, the RX Control unit writes the bits
11111110 to the receive shift register, and in the next clock phase
activates RECEIVE.
