The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density nonvolatile memory technology Not Recommended and is compatible with the industry-standard 80C51 instruction set and pinout. The on- for New Designs. chip downloadable Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial interface or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. Use AT89S8253. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with downloadable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89S53 is a powerful microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications. The AT89S53 provides the following standard features: 12K bytes of downloadable Flash, 256 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, programmable watchdog timer, two Data Point- ers, three 16-bit timer/counters, a six-vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator, and clock circuitry. In addition, the AT89S53 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and supports two soft- ware selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. The downloadable Flash can change a single byte at a time and is accessible through the SPI serial interface. Holding RESET active forces the SPI bus into a serial pro- gramming interface and allows the program memory to be written to or read from unless Lock Bit 2 has been activated. 0787E–MICRO–3/06 Document Outline Block Diagram Instruction Set Features Description Pin Description VCC GND Port 0 Port 1 Pin Description Port 2 Port 3 RST ALE/PROG PSEN EA/VPP XTAL1 XTAL2 Special Function Registers Data Memory - RAM Programmable Watchdog Timer Timer 0 and 1 Timer 2 Capture Mode Auto-reload (Up or Down Counter) Baud Rate Generator Programmable Clock Out UART Serial Peripheral Interface Interrupts Oscillator Characteristics Idle Mode Status of External Pins During Idle and Power-down Modes Power-down Mode Program Memory Lock Bits Lock Bit Protection Modes(1)(2) Programming the Flash Programming Interface Serial Downloading Either an external system clock is supplied at pin XTAL1 or a crystal needs to be connected across pins XTAL1 and XTAL2.
