Objectives: To learn interfacing of external memory with 8051 To understand the instructions for accessing the memory To develop a program to read and write data to external memory Theory: 8051 Microcontroller on the other hand has onchip 4KB of ROM and 128B of RAM. 8052 has 8KB of program memory (ROM) and 256 bytes of data memory (RAM). For simple to less complex applications this is sufficent, but, If the program and data tend to be larger and require more memory than available on 8051/8052 then external RAM and ROM can be interfaced with 8051 microcontroller. Thus, there is a provision of connecting both external RAM and ROM i.e., Data Memory and Program. Interfacing memory with 8051 We can interface a maximum of
