1 Microcontroller – 2 - internal archi. - Memory - 8051
See –

2 We use more number of microcontrollers compared to microprocessors.
Microprocessors are primarily used for computational purpose,  whereas microcontrollers find wide application in devices needing real time processing / control. 

3 Application of microcontrollers are numerous.
domestic applications such as in washing machines, TVs, air-conditioners, automobiles, process control industries, cell phones, electrical drives, robotics and in space applications.

4 Internal structure of a MC

5 At times, a microcontroller can have external memory also (if there is no internal memory or extra memory interface is required). Most modern microcontrollers are manufactured with CMOS technology, which leads to reduction in size and power loss.

6 Harvard vs. Princeton Architecture
In the late 1940's, the US Government asked Harvard and Princeton universities to come up with a computer architecture to be used in defense apps. Princeton suggested computer architecture with a single memory interface. Princeton architecture was accepted for simplicity and ease of implementation

7 Harvard suggested a computer with two different memory interfaces, one for the data / variables and the other for program / instructions. Harvard architecture became popular later, due to the parallelism of instruction execution.

8 Von Neumann architecture?
Von Neumann architecture  after the name of the chief scientist of the project in Princeton University John Von Neumann ( Born in Budapest, Hungary). How to remember? PN [junction!]  Princeton Neumann

9 Princeton /single mem interface

10 Harvard architecture

11 8051 microcontroller

12 8051 8051 employs Harvard [2] architecture.
8-bit CPU bit Program Counter 8-bit Processor Status Word (PSW) 8-bit Stack Pointer Internal RAM of 128bytes

13 8051… Special Function Registers (SFRs) of 128 bytes
32 I/O pins arranged as four 8-bit ports (P0 - P3) Two 16-bit timer/counters : T0 and T1 Two external and three internal vectored interrupts One full duplex [i.e., it can transmit and receive simultaneously] serial I/O has about 111 instructions

14 Intel 8051/8031 architecture CPU has the control and sequencing logic circkuits, ALU, Flags, clock Program mem - ROM Interrupt control ckt Internal timing devices – timer Serial interface Data mem - RAM

15 Intel 8051/8031… Special function registers Ports
Register banks – 4 set of registers RST – reset pin INT – interrupt pins VCC – voltage supply pin GND
