EVALUATION RUBRIC:
EL303 – MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING AND PROGRAMMING LAB
To enable the students to write effective assembly language programs using various addressing modes,
jumps, timers, counters, and interrupts. Also enabling them to interface any external hardware using
serial programming and verifying the results either through simulators or through actual hardware.

Lab #09: To Illustrate the Commands and Data Mode of an LCD

Interfaced with a Microcontroller
PURPOSE:

 To be able to interface a 2-Lines 16-Characters LCD with 89C52

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

1. KeilμVision IDE
2. ATMEL ®89C52 Microcontroller Kit
3. XELTEX Universal Burner
4. LCD

9.1 BACKGROUND:

The most commonly used Character based LCDs are based on Hitachi's HD44780 controller or
other which are compatible with HD44580. In this experiment, we will discuss about character
based LCDs, their interfacing with 8051 microcontrollers. The most commonly used LCDs found
in the market today are 1 Line, 2 Line or 4 Line LCDs which have only 1 controller and support
at most of 80 characters, whereas LCDs supporting more than 80 characters make use of 2
HD44780 controllers. Most LCDs with 1 controller has 14 Pins and LCDs with 2 controller has
16 Pins (two pins are extra in both for back-light LED connections). Pin description is shown in
the table below.
Display data RAM (DDRAM) stores display data represented in 8-bit character codes. Its
extended capacity is 80 X 8 bits, or 80 characters. The area in display data RAM (DDRAM) that
is not used for display can be used as general data RAM. So whatever you send on the DDRAM
is actually displayed on the LCD. For LCDs like 1x16, only 16 characters are visible, so whatever
you write after 16 characters is written in DDRAM but is not visible to the user.

9.2 EXERCISES:

Task1:

Write a program that counts how many times a character has occurred in a string. The user will mention
ASCII code of the character in R0 and your program should display the count on 2-Lines 16-Characters
LCD.
Example#1:
If the user has mentioned ASCII code for an alphabet ‘a’ and the string is:

“A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense, contains a main verb, and begins
with a capital letter.”

The 2-Lines X 16 Characters LCD display will be:

ORG 0H
MOV R7,#0H
MOV A,#38H
ACALL COMNWRT ;call command subroutine
ACALL DELAY ;give LCD some time
MOV A,#0EH
