external data memory
The Intel 87C54 is a single-chip control-oriented microcontroller which is fabricated on Intel’s reliable
CHMOS EPROM technology Being a member of the MCS-51 family the 87C54 uses the same powerful
instruction set has the same architecture and is pin-for-pin compatible with the existing MCS-51 family of
products The 87C54 is an enhanced version of the 87C51FB Its added features of 16 Kbytes of program
memory make it an even more powerful microcontroller for applications that require High Speed I O and
up down counting capabilities such as brake and traction control

Port 0 Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I O
port As an output port each pin can sink several LS
TTL inputs Port 0 pins that have 1’s written to them
float and in that state can be used as high-imped-
ance inputs
Port 0 is also the multiplexed low-order address and
data bus during accesses to external Program and
Data Memory In this application it uses strong inter-
nal pullups when emitting1’s and can source and
sink several LS TTL inputs
Port 0 also receives the code bytes during EPROM
programming and outputs the code bytes during
program verification External pullup resistors are re-
quired during program verification
Port 1 Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I O port with
internal pullups The Port 1 output buffers can drive
LS TTL inputs Port 1 pins that have 1’s written to
them are pulled high by the internal pullups and in
that state can be used as inputs As inputs Port 1
pins that are externally pulled low will source current
(I
IL
on the data sheet) because of the internal pull-
ups

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 1’s Dur-
ing accesses to external Data Memory that use 8-bit
addresses (MOVX Ri) Port 2 emits the contents of
the P2 Special Function Register
Some Port 2 pins receive the high-order address bits
during EPROM programming and program verifica-
tion
Port 3 Port 3 is an 8-bit bidirectional I O port with
internal pullups The Port 3 output buffers can drive

In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant
rate of
the oscillator frequency and may be used
for external timing or clocking purposes Note how-
ever that one ALE pulse is skipped during each ac-
cess to external Data Memory
Throughout the remainder of this data sheet ALE
will refer to the signal coming out of the ALE PROG
pin and the pin will be referred to as the ALE PROG
pin
PSEN Program Store Enable is the read strobe to
external Program Memory
When the 87C54 is executing code from external
Program Memory PSEN is activated twice each
machine cycle except that two PSEN activations
are skipped during each access to external Data

strapped to VSS in order to enable the device to

OSCILLATOR CHARACTERISTICS
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output respec-
tively of a inverting amplifier which can be config-
ured for use as an on-chip oscillator as shown in

may be used More detailed information concerning
the use of the on-chip oscillator is available in Appli-
