The 8051 has the complication that the transmit interrupt cannot be ignored. Upon activation of these pins, the 8051 gets interrupts in what ever it is doing and jumps to the vector table to perform the interrupt service routine. A software interrupts is a particular instructions that can be inserted into the desired location in the rpogram. Now the purpose of this article to explain how to use interrupts in 8051 microcontrollers. In this topic, we will discuss the interrupts in 8051 using at89s52 microcontroller.

Two interrupts are set aside for hardware external interrupts. For the love of physics walter lewin may 16, 2011 duration.
A hybrid design in which characters are received via interrupts and sent using polling is common professional design. It is a subroutine calls that given by the microcontroller when some other program with high priority is request for acquiring the system buses than interrupt occur in current running program. Aug 11, 2015 the interrupts of the entire intel family of microprocessors include two hardware pins that request interrupts intr and nmi, and one hardware pin inta that acknowledges the interrupt requested through intr. To set an interrupt to high priority we set the appropriate bit in the interrupt priority ip sfr, as detailed below. Interrupt is an event that temporarily suspends the main program passes the control to a special code section, execute the event related function and resumes the main program how where it had left off. Maskable vs nonmaskable interrupts maskable interrupts a maskable interrupt is one that programmaer can ignore by setting or clearing a bit. It seems that the program does not go into timer isr at all. Memory locations are 000bh and 001bh respectively in the interrupt vector table. In addition to the pins, the microprocessor also has software interrupts int, into, int 3, and bound. This presentation discusses the support for interrupts in 8051.
