Interfacing A LCD Display With 8051

This document discusses interfacing an LCD display with an 8051 microcontroller to display characters. It describes how LCDs display characters based on the ASCII value of the data received. It then provides details on interfacing a 16x2 LCD with a P89V51RD2 8051 microcontroller, including the pin configurations and components required. The circuit diagram and program code to initialize the LCD and display messages are also included.

Interfacing a LCD display with 8051 microcontroller and displaying a

character on LCD
LCD is a very commonly used output device to display alphanumeric characters. The LCD
displays the character corresponding to the data received on its input data port i.e., it treats
the data as the ASCII value of the character to be displayed. So if the value 65 is given to its
data port the character “A” will be displayed and if the value 49 is given to the LCD the
numeric digit “1” will be displayed. At many instances it is required to display a number like
123 on LCD. Displaying this number is tricky. If the data port of the LCD is loaded with the
number 123, then the character corresponding to it will be displayed.

LCD INTERFACING WITH 8051 IN 8-BIT MODE

Here we use a 16x2 LCD which is interfaced by P89V51RD2 which is a 8051


microcontroller.

Pin configuration is written behind this LCD as...

1 - GND
2 - VCC (+5V)
3 - VEE (FOR CONTRAST)
4 - RS (REGISTER SELECT)
5 - RW (READ/WRITE)
6 - EN (ENABLE)
7-14 - DATA PINS D0-D7
15 - LED PLUS
16 - LED MINUS

Components required:-

1. 10uf electrolytic capacitor


2. 10k ohm registance
3. 10k ohm variable registance
4. 11.059 MHZ crystal oscilltor
5. 16x2 LCD
6. P89V51RD2 IC
7. 5v battery
Circuit diagram:

Platform: P89V51RD2 Development Board (Model No.SK-0001-DB).

Pin Function:-

Port1 is connected to the data port of LCD.

P0.5 is connected to the RS(Register Select) Pin of the LCD.

P0.6 is connected to the R/W(Read/Write) Pin of the LCD.

P0.7 is connected to the E(Enable) Pin of the LCD.
