Atmel AT89S51 User Manual
The AT89S51 is an 8‑bit flash microcontroller from Atmel featuring low power consumption, 128 bytes of internal RAM, 32 programmable I/O pins, and a range of on‑chip peripherals such as timers, UART, and a watchdog timer. It supports the standard 8051 instruction set and can be programmed in‑system via ISP or traditional methods.
The manual details the pin‑out, special function registers, auxiliary registers, clock and oscillator circuitry, interrupt sources, and the procedures for enabling and using the watchdog timer, UART, timers, and power‑saving modes. It also includes package dimensions for the PDIP variants. This manual is written in Chinese.
