Restrictions on Certain Instructions

The AT89C2051 and is an economical and cost-effective
member of Atmel’s growing family of microcontrollers. It
contains 2K bytes of flash program memory. It is fully com-
p a ti bl e wit h t h e M C S -5 1 a rc h i t ec t ur e , a nd c a n b e
programmed using the MCS-51 instruction set. However,
there are a few considerations one must keep in mind
when utilizing certain instructions to program this device.

All the instructions related to jumping or branching should
be restricted such that the destination address falls within
the physical program memory space of the device, which is
2K for the AT89C2051. This should be the responsibility of
the software programmer. For example, LJMP 7E0H
would be a valid instruction for the AT89C2051 (with 2K of
memory), whereas LJMP 900H would not.

1. Branching instructions:

LCALL, LJMP, ACALL, AJMP, SJMP, JMP @A+DPTR

These unconditional branching instructions will execute
correctly as long as the programmer keeps in mind that the
destination branching address must fall within the physical
boundaries of the program memory size (locations 00H to
7FFH for the 89C2051). Violating the physical space limits
may cause unknown program behavior.

CJNE [...], DJNZ [...], JB, JNB, JC, JNC, JBC, JZ, JNZ With
these conditional branching instructions the same rule
above applies. Again, violating the memory boundaries
may cause erratic execution.

For applications involving interrupts the normal interrupt
service routine address locations of the 80C51 family archi-
tecture have been preserved.

2. MOVX-related instructions, Data Memory:

The AT89C2051 contains 128 bytes of internal data mem-
ory. Thus, in the AT89C2051 the stack depth is limited to
128 bytes, the amount of available RAM. External DATA
memory access is not supported in this device, nor is exter-
nal PROGRAM memory execution. Therefore, no MOVX
[...] instructions should be included in the program.

A typical 80C51 assembler will still assemble instructions,
even if they are written in violation of the restrictions men-
tioned above. It is the responsibility of the controller user to
know the physical features and limitations of the device
b e i n g u s e d a n d a d j u s t t h e i n s t r u c t i o n s u s e d
correspondingly.

Program Memory Lock Bits

On the chip are two lock bits which can be left unpro-
grammed (U) or can be programmed (P) to obtain the
additional features listed in the table below:

Note:

1. The Lock Bits can only be erased with the Chip Erase

operation.

Idle Mode

In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on-
chip peripherals remain active. The mode is invoked by
software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the spe-
cial functions registers remain unchanged during this
mode. The idle mode can be terminated by any enabled
interrupt or by a hardware reset.

P1.0 and P1.1 should be set to “0” if no external pullups are
used, or set to “1” if external pullups are used.

It should be noted that when idle is terminated by a hard-
wa re re se t, the de vice no rma lly resu me s p ro gra m
execution, from where it left off, up to two machine cycles
before the internal reset algorithm takes control. On-chip
hardware inhibits access to internal RAM in this event, but
access to the port pins is not inhibited. To eliminate the
possibility of an unexpected write to a port pin when Idle is
terminated by reset, the instruction following the one that
invokes Idle should not be one that writes to a port pin or to
external memory.

Power-down Mode

In the power down mode the oscillator is stopped, and the
instruction that invokes power down is the last instruction
executed. The on-chip RAM and Special Function Regis-
ters retain their values until the power down mode is
terminated. The only exit from power down is a hardware
reset. Reset redefines the SFRs but does not change the
on-chip RAM. The reset should not be activated before V

CC

is restored to its normal operating level and must be held
active long enough to allow the oscillator to restart and
stabilize.

P1.0 and P1.1 should be set to “0” if no external pullups are
used, or set to “1” if external pullups are used.
