Interrupts in 8051 Microcontroller

The document provides an overview of interrupts in the 8051 microcontroller, explaining their purpose, types, and execution process. It details various interrupt sources, the interrupt enable (IE) and interrupt priority (IP) registers, and includes an example of using an external interrupt to control an LED. Additionally, it discusses applications of interrupts for timers, serial communication, and external events.

What is an Interrupt?
Interrupt Concept Real-Time Use ISR Execution
An interrupt temporarily halts Enables immediate responses After ISR, program resumes from
normal execution for special without polling, e.g., button press where it paused.
processing. detection.
8051 Interrupt System Overview
Interrupt Sources More Interrupts
INT0 (External Interrupt 0) - P3.2 Timer 1 Overflow
Timer 0 Overflow Serial Communication (RI/TI)
INT1 (External Interrupt 1) - P3.3 Fixed vector addresses and priorities
IE Register 3 Enabling Interrupts
Master Control (EA) Individual Bits Example Setting
Bit 7 enables or disables all interrupts Bits enable serial, timer, and external MOV IE, #10000011B enables serial,

Example 3 External Interrupt (INT0)

Toggle LED on interrupt using INT0 (P3.2)

ORG 0000H

AJMP MAIN

ORG 0003H ; INT0 vector

CLR P1.0 ; Turn off LED

RET

MAIN: MOV IE, #10000001B ; Enable INT0 and EA

SETB P1.0 ; LED ON initially

HERE: SJMP HERE ; Infinite loop


Explanation:
When INT0 pin goes LOW (edge-triggered), ISR at 0003H is executed.
LED is turned OFF.
Program returns to main loop.
Assembly Example 3 INT0 LED Control
Set Vector
1
ORG 0003H; ISR jumps here on INT0

Turn Off LED


2
CLR P1.0; LED off on interrupt

Enable Interrupt
3
MOV IE, #10000001B; Enable INT0 & global
