The RST pin requires a HIGH to reset the 8051 microcontroller.

More Questions from The 8051 Microcontroller

• Up to 65K of code memory and 65K of data memory can be added to any of the 8051 family members.
• In an 8051 program DA A adjusts the value in the accumulator resulting from an addition into two BCDs.
• Writing counter/loop programs is much more difficult with the introduction of the DJNA and the CJNE instructions.
• Analog output current must be converted into a usable voltage. To perform this current-to-voltage conversion a 700 op amp may be used.
• A Celsius thermometer is an application for the 8051 microcontroller.
• The ADC 0804 is an analog-to-digital converter that provides 8-bit output resolution that can be directly interfaced to a microcontroller.
