Introduction Pull Up Resistors 89C51, 89C52 Microcontroller
A pull up resistors circuit refers to the one of
the common method of interfacing a switch to
the input and output pins of 89C51, 89C52
microcontrollers. Many of the 89S51,89S52
microcontrollers needs the logic voltage be
more than some threshold or below some
threshold point for 8051 Microcontroller or its
variant. If the microcontroller circuit is
disconnected the input logic voltage will be
allow to float and we may guess what type of
the value of the input pin of microcontroller will
have in the device.

When a switch is connected with AT89C51 or
AT89C51
Microcontroller
or its variant, it
will make the input of the microcontroller to float. Depending
on the Atmel microcontroller it will lead to unexplained
operation of the input pin of microcontroller and oscillator
pulses between various states or high power consumption
circuit and even the physical damage of the microcontroller.

Port 0 Pull Up Resistor 8051 Microcontrollers
Port 0 of 8051 microcontroller has 8 pins, it is a 8 bit port and can be used for dual role for
input and output. To use the pins of 89C51 or 89C51 Microcontroller, we have to connect 10
k ohm resistor as a pull up resistor externally. It is a Open Drain means having the same
way as used in open collector.

When a switch of the microcontroller is in the open voltage on the input pin of 8051
microcontroller pin it will be much closer to VCC. The input pin has usually very high
impedance, it means there is a small voltage runs through the circuit as a result it will have
little voltage drop level across the resistor. If the switch is closed, the entire current will run
from the resistor and the from switch to ground voltage. Now the drop of the voltage will be
from resistor to VCC, so the input pin of microcontroller will detect the voltage, which is
very near to the ground voltage. Internal pull up resistors of 89C51or 89C52 microcontroller
are not available in one port, other ports have internal pull up and pull down resistors and
can be enabled with the software.

Pull Up Resistor Or Pull Down Resistor Example

Let's take an example 89C51 Microcontroller with one of the pins is set as an input pin. If
anything is not connected with the the same pin, it will be considered as a floating pin. In
this situation 8051 MCU will have some difficulty to read the state or logic voltage on the
input pin of microcontroller. Pull up or pull down resistor 89C51 or 89C52 microcontroller
will hold the pin may be either a high (1) or low (0) voltage state when using the low
amount of the current.

Pull resistors are common and most used logic levels in two wire communication (I2C) lines.
An application of a pull up or pull down resistor is connecting a button to the input pin of
8051 microcontroller. With the help of pull up resistor 89S51, 89S52 microcontroller the
input pin of the microcontroller will read a high voltage when the button is open on the
circuit. When the button is in closed state, it connects the input pin of 89C52 microcontroller
to its ground so to read the low state of the signal.

What Is Pull Up Pull Down Resistor Value
Value of pull up resistor is 10 k Ohm for AT8051 AT89S51 AT89S52 AT89C51 At89C52
microcontrollers. In almost every circuit pull up resistor are used with the same type of
value.
