Subject: MICROCONTROLLER AND
EMBEDED SYSTEM
Class: 5th, ECE
Introduction
An instruction is an order or command given
to a processor by a computer program. All
commands are known as instruction set and
set of instructions is known as program.
8051 have in total 111 instructions, i.e. 111
different words available for program writing.
Instruction Format
Where first part describes WHAT should be
done, while other explains HOW to do it.
The latter part can be a data (binary number)
or the address at which the data is stored.
Depending upon the number of bytes required
to represent 1 instruction completely.
Types Of Instructions
Instructions are divided into 3 types;
1. One/single byte instruction.
2. Two/double byte instruction.
3. Three/triple byte instruction.
Types Of Instructions
1. One/single byte instructions :
If operand is not given in the instruction or
there is no digits present with instruction, the
instructions can be completely represented in
one byte opcode.
OPCODE 8 bit
Types Of Instructions
2. Two/double byte instruction:
If 8 bit number is given as operand in the
instruction, the such instructions can be
completed represented in two bytes.
First byte OPCODE
Second byte 8 bit data or I/O port
Types Of Instructions
3. Three/triple byte instruction:
If 16 bit number is given as operand in the
instructions than such instructions can be
completely represented in three bytes 16 bit
number specified may be data or address.
Types Of Instructions
1. First byte will be instruction code.
2. Second byte will be 8 LSB’s of 16 bit
number.
3. Third byte will be 8 MSB’s of 16 bit number.
First byte OPCODE.
Second byte 8 LSB’s of data/address.
Third byte 8 MSB’S of data/address.
Addressing Modes
Addressing modes specifies where the data
(operand) is. They specify the source or
destination of data (operand) in several
different ways, depending upon the situation.
Addressingmodes are used to know where
the operand located is.
Addressing Modes
There are 5 types of addressing modes:
1. Register addressing.
2. Direct addressing.
3. Register indirect addressing.
4. Immediate addressing.
5. Index addressing.
Register Addressing Mode
Inregister addressing mode; the source
and/or destination is a register.
In this case; data is placed in any of the 8
registers(R0-R7); in instructions it is specified
with letter Rn (where N indicates 0 to 7).
Register Addressing Mode
For example;
1. ADD A, Rn (This is general instruction).
2. ADD A, R5 (This instruction will add the
contents of register R5 with the accumulator
contents).
Direct Addressing Mode
In direct addressing mode; the address of
memory location containing data to be read
is specified in instruction.
Inthis case; address of the data is given with
the instruction itself.
Direct Addressing Mode
For example;
1. MOV A, 25H (This instruction will
read/move the data from internal RAM
address 25H and store it in the
accumulator.
Register Indirect Addressing Mode
Inregister indirect addressing mode; the
contents of the designated register are used
as a pointer to memory.
In this case; data is placed in memory, but
address of memory location is not given
directly with instruction.
Register Indirect Addressing Mode
For example;
1. MOV A,@R0 This instruction moves the
data from the register whose address is in
the R0 register into the accumulator.
Immediate Addressing Mode
In immediate addressing mode, the data is
given with the instruction itself.
Inthis case; the data to be stored in memory
immediately follows the opcode.
Immediate Addressing Mode
For example;
1. MOV A, #25H (This instruction will move the
data 25H to accumulator.
Index Addressing Mode
Offset (from accumulator) is added to the base
index register( DPTR OR Program Counter) to
form the effective address of the memory
location.
In this case; this mode is made for reading
tables in the program memory.
Index Addressing Mode
For example;
1. MOVC A, @ A + DPTR ( This instruction
moves the data from the memory to
accumulator; whose address is computed
by adding the contents of accumulator and
DPTR)
Types Of Instructions
1. Data transfer instructions.
2. Arithmetic instructions.
3. Logical instructions.
4. Logical instructions with bits.
5. Branch instructions.
Data Transfer Instructions
These instructions move the content of one
register to another one.
Datacan be transferred to stack with the
help of PUSH and POP instructions.

These instructions perform several basic
operations. After execution, the result is

increment-decrement instructions can be
performed.

Program Flow Control Instructions
In this group, instructions are related to the
flow of the program, these are used to
control the operation like, JUMP and CALL
instructions.
Some instructions are used to introduce
delay in the program, to the halt program.
