in proteus.
Procedure
1. TMOD register is loaded with the value 20H, indicating the use of timer 1 in mode
2 (8-bit auto-reload) to set baud rate
2. The TH1 is loaded with one of the values to set baud rate as 9600.
3. The SCON register is loaded with the value 50H, indicating serial mode 1, where an 8-
bit data is framed with start and stop bits
4. TR1 is set to 1 to start timer 1
5. The character byte to be transferred serially is written into SBUF register

character has been transferred completely
7. TI is cleared by CLR TI instruction
8. In Proteus set the internal clock frequency of microcontroller to 11.0592MHz. This
Is done by Right clicking on AT89C52 -> Edit properties -> Clock frequency is set
as 11.0592MHz. This is done to match Baud rate of 9600

16X2 LCD Display interface
Problem Statement
To interface a 16X2 LCD Display with AT89C52
Procedure
1. Connect Port1 pins P1.7 - P1.0 to data pins D7 - D0 of LCD
2. P2.0 connected to RS pin, P2.1 to R/W pin and P2.2 to E pin of LCD
3. Give initialization commands to LCD by placing the command byte in accumulator
and calling the COMMAND sub routine, which first checks whether LCD is ready by
monitoring the busy flag. If busy flag is cleared, it will clear RS and R/W pins and apply
a high to low pulse on E pin to latch the command byte to LCD.
4. Then aplly data bytes to LCD by placing the data byte in accumulator and calling
the DATA_DISPLAY sub routine, which first checks whether LCD is ready by
monitoring the busy flag. If busy flag is cleared, it will set RS pin, clear R/W pin and
apply a high to low pulse on E pin to latch the data byte to LCD.
5. Repeat the process

Matrix keyboard interface
Problem Statement
To interface a matrix keyboard with AT89C52
Procedure
1. Connect output LEDs to Port1 pins P1.7 - P1.0
2. Port 3 pins P3.0-P3.3 connected to 4 rows and Port 2 pins P2.0-P2.2 to 3 columns.
P2 is made an input port
3. To make sure that the preceding key has been released, 0s are output to all rows
at once, and the columns are read and checked repeatedly until all the columns
are high
4. To detect a pressed key, the microcontroller grounds all rows by providing 0 to the
output latch, and then it reads the columns.
5. To detect which row key press belongs to, it grounds one row at a time, reading the
columns each time
6. Upon finding the row that the key press belongs to, it sets up the starting address for
the look-up table holding the scan codes (orASCII) for that row
7. To identify the key press, it rotates the column bits, one bit at a time, into the
carry flag and checks to see if it is low
8. Upon finding the zero, it pulls out the ASCII code for that key from the look-up table,
otherwise, it increments the pointer to point to the next element of the look-up table
