The AT87F51 provides the following standard features: 4K
bytes of QuickFlash, 128 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, two
16-bit timer/counters, a five vector two-level interrupt archi-
tecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator and clock
circuitry. In addition, the AT87F51 is designed with static
logic for operation down to zero frequency and supports
two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle

timer/counters, serial port and interrupt system to continue
functioning. The Power Down Mode saves the RAM con-
tents but freezes the oscillator disabling all other chip func-
tions until the next hardware reset.
Pin Description
V
CC
Supply voltage.
GND
Ground.
Port 0
Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I/O port. As an
output port each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s
are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high-
impedance inputs.
Port 0 may also be configured to be the multiplexed low-
order address/data bus during accesses to external pro-
gram and data memory. In this mode P0 has internal pul-
lups.
Port 0 also receives the code bytes during QuickFlash pro-
gramming, and outputs the code bytes during program ver-
ification. External pullups are required during program veri-
fication.
Port 1
Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.
The Port 1 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs.
When 1s are written to Port 1 pins they are pulled high by
the internal pullups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will source
current (I
IL
) because of the internal pullups.
Port 1 also receives the low-order address bytes during
QuickFlash programming and verification.
Port 2
Port 2 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.
The Port 2 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs.
When 1s are written to Port 2 pins they are pulled high by
the internal pullups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source
current (I
IL
) because of the internal pullups.
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 1s. During accesses to external data mem-
ory that use 8-bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port 2 emits the
contents of the P2 Special Function Register.
Port 2 also receives the high-order address bits and some
control signals during QuickFlash programming and verifi-
cation.
Port 3
Port 3 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.
The Port 3 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs.
When 1s are written to Port 3 pins they are pulled high by
the internal pullups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will source
current (I
IL
) because of the pullups.
Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features
of the AT87F51 as listed below:
Port 3 also receives some control signals for QuickFlash
programming and verification.
RST
Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while
the oscillator is running resets the device.
ALE/PROG
Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching the low byte
of the address during accesses to external memory. This
pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Quick-
Flash programming.
In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6
the oscillator frequency, and may be used for external tim-
ing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE
pulse is skipped during each access to external Data Mem-
ory.
If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of
SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only dur-
ing a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is
weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no
effect if the microcontroller is in external execution mode.
PSEN
Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external pro-
gram memory.

When the AT87F51 is executing code from external pro-
gram memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine
cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during
each access to external data memory.
EA/V
PP
External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in
order to enable the device to fetch code from external pro-
gram memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.
Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be
internally latched on reset.
EA should be strapped to V
CC
for internal program execu-
tions.
This pin also receives the 12-volt programming enable volt-
age (V
PP
) during QuickFlash programming.
XTAL1
Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the
internal clock operating circuit.
XTAL2
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.
Oscillator Characteristics
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively,
of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as
an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 1. Either a quartz
crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the
device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left
unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 2.
There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the external
clock signal, since the input to the internal clocking circuitry
is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maxi-
mum voltage high and low time specifications must be
observed.
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.
It should be noted that when idle is terminated by a hard
ware reset, the device normally resumes program execu-
tion, 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 termi-
nated. 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 sta-
bilize.
Program Memory Lock Bits
On the chip are three lock bits which can be left unpro-
grammed (U) or can be programmed (P) to obtain the addi-
tional features listed in the table below:
When lock bit 1 is programmed, the logic level at the EA pin
is sampled and latched during reset. If the device is pow-
ered up without a reset, the latch initializes to a random
value, and holds that value until reset is activated. It is nec-
essary that the latched value of EA be in agreement with
the current logic level at that pin in order for the device to
function properly.

Programming the QuickFlash
The AT87F51 is shipped with the on-chip QuickFlash mem-
ory array ready to be programmed. The programming inter-
face needs a high-voltage (12-volt) program enable signal
and is compatible with conventional third-party Flash or
EPROM programmers.
The AT87F51 code memory array is programmed byte-by-
byte.
Programming Algorithm: Before programming the
AT87F51, the address, data, and control signals should be
set up according to the QuickFlash programming mode
table and Figures 3 and 4. To program the AT87F51, take
the following steps:
1.
Input the desired memory location on the address
lines.
2.
Input the appropriate data byte on the data lines.
3.
Activate the correct combination of control signals.
4.
Raise EA/V
PP
to 12V.
5.
Pulse ALE/PROG once to program a byte in the Quick-
Flash array or the lock bits. The byte-write cycle is self-
timed and typically takes no more than 1.5 ms. Repeat
steps 1 through 5, changing the address and data for
the entire array or until the end of the object file is
reached.
Data Polling: The AT87F51 features Data Polling to indi-
cate the end of a write cycle. During a write cycle, an
attempted read of the last byte written will result in the com-
plement of the written datum on PO.7. Once the write cycle
has been completed, true data are valid on all outputs, and
the next cycle may begin. Data Polling may begin any time
after a write cycle has been initiated.
Ready/Busy: The progress of byte programming can also
be monitored by the RDY/BSY output signal. P3.4 is pulled
low after ALE goes high during programming to indicate
BUSY. P3.4 is pulled high again when programming is
done to indicate READY.
Program Verify: If lock bits LB1 and LB2 have not been
programmed, the programmed code data can be read back
via the address and data lines for verification. The lock bits
cannot be verified directly. Verification of the lock bits is
achieved by observing that their features are enabled.
Reading the Signature Bytes: The signature bytes are
read by the same procedure as a normal verification of
locations 030H, 031H, and 032H, except that P3.6 and
P3.7 must be pulled to a logic low. The values returned are
as follows.
(030H) = 1EH indicates manufactured by Atmel
(031H) = 87H indicates 87F family
(032H) = 01H indicates 87F51
