AT48801
Pin Description
VCC
Supply voltage.
GND
Ground.
Port 0
Port 0 is an 8 bit open drain bidirectional I/O port. As an
output port, each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s
are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high-im-
pedance inputs.
Port 0 can also be configured to be the multiplexed low-or-
der address/data bus during accesses to external pro-
gram and data memory. In this mode, P0 has internal pul-
lups.
Port 1
Port 1 is an 8 bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.
The Port 1 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs.
When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they are pulled high by
the internal pullups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will source
current (IIL) because of the internal pullups.
In addition, P1.0 and P1.1 can be configured to be the
timer/counter 2 external count input (P1.0/T2) and the
timer/counter 2 trigger input (P1.1/T2EX), respectively, as
shown in the following table.

P1.1
Alternate Functions
T2 (external count input to
Timer/Counter 2), clock-out
T2EX (Timer/Counter 2 capture/reload
trigger and direction control)
Port 2
Port 2 is an 8 bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.
The Port 2 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs.
When 1s are written to Port 2 pins, they are pulled high by
the internal pullups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source
current (IIL) because of the internal pullups.
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, Port 2 uses strong internal
pullups when emitting 1s. During accesses to external
data memory that use 8 bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port
2 emits the contents of the P2 Special Function Register.
Port 3
Port 3 is an 8 bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pullups.
The Port 3 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs.
When 1s are written to Port 3 pins, they are pulled high by
the internal pullups and can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will source
current (IIL) because of the pullups.
Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features
of the AT89C51, as shown in the following table.

Alternate Functions
RXD (serial input port)

INT0 (external interrupt 0)
INT1 (external interrupt 1)
T0 (timer 0 external input)
T1 (timer 1 external input)
WR (external data memory write strobe)
RD (external data memory read strobe)
RST
Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles
while the oscillator is running resets the device.
ALE
Address Latch Enable is an output pulse for latching the
low byte of the address during accesses to external mem-
ory.
In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate of
1/6 the oscillator frequency and may be used for external
timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE
pulse is skipped during each access to external data
memory.
If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0
of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only
during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is
weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no ef-
fect if the microcrontroller is in external execution mode.
PSEN
Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external pro-
gram memory.
When the AT48801 is executing code from external pro-
gram memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cy-
cle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during
each access to external data memory.
EA
External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in
order to enable the device to fetch code from external pro-
gram memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.
Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be
internally latched on reset.
EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program execu-
tions.
