In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate of
1/6 the oscillator frequency and may be used for external
timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE
pulse is skipped during each access to external data
memory.
If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0
of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only
during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is
weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no ef-
fect if the microcrontroller is in external execution mode.
PSEN
Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external pro-
gram memory.
When the AT89C52 is executing code from external pro-
gram memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cy-
cle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during
each access to external data memory.
Pin Description
(Continued)
EA/V
PP
External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in
order to enable the device to fetch code from external pro-
gram memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.
Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be
internally latched on reset.
EA should be strapped to V
CC
for internal program execu-
tions.
This pin also receives the 12-volt programming enable
voltage (V
PP
) during Flash programming when 12-volt pro-
gramming is selected.
XTAL1
Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the
internal clock operating circuit.
XTAL2
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.
