The input to the circuit is applied from the regulated power supply. The a.c. input i.e.,
230V from the mains supply is step down by the transformer to 5V and is fed to a
rectifier. The output obtained from the rectifier is a pulsating d.c voltage. So in order to
get a pure d.c voltage, the output voltage from the rectifier is fed to a filter to remove any
a.c components present even after rectification. Now, this voltage is given to a voltage
regulator to obtain a pure constant dc voltage.

Transformer

Usually, DC voltages are required to operate various electronic equipment and these
voltages are 5V, 9V or 12V. But these voltages cannot be obtained directly. Thus the a.c
input available at the mains supply i.e., 230V is to be brought down to the required
voltage level. This is done by a transformer. Thus, a step down transformer is employed
to decrease the voltage to a required level.

Rectifier

The output from the transformer is fed to the rectifier. It converts A.C. into pulsating
D.C. The rectifier may be a half wave or a full wave rectifier. In this project, a bridge
rectifier is used because of its merits like good stability and full wave rectification.

The Bridge rectifier is a circuit, which converts an ac voltage to dc voltage using both
half cycles of the input ac voltage. The Bridge rectifier circuit is shown in the figure. The
circuit has four diodes connected to form a bridge. The ac input voltage is applied to the
diagonally opposite ends of the bridge. The load resistance is connected between the
other two ends of the bridge.

For the positive half cycle of the input ac voltage, diodes D1 and D3 conduct, whereas
diodes D2 and D4 remain in the OFF state. The conducting diodes will be in series with
the load resistance RL and hence the load current flows through RL.

For the negative half cycle of the input ac voltage, diodes D2 and D4 conduct whereas,
D1 and D3 remain OFF. The conducting diodes D2 and D4 will be in series

with the load resistance RL and hence the current flows through RL in the same direction
as in the previous half cycle. Thus a bi-directional wave is converted into a unidirectional
wave.

Filter

Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of rectifier
and smoothens the D.C. Output received from this filter is constant until the mains
voltage and load is maintained constant. However, if either of the two is varied, D.C.
voltage received at this point changes. Therefore a regulator is applied at the output stage.

Voltage regulator

As the name itself implies, it regulates the input applied to it. A voltage
regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage
level. In this project, power supply
of 5V and 12V are required. In order
to obtain these voltage levels, 7805
and 7812 voltage regulators are to be
used. The first number 78 represents
positive supply and the numbers 05, 12 represent the required output voltage levels. The
L78xx series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-
220, TO-220FP, TO-3, D2PAK and DPAK packages and several fixed
output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These
regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the
distribution problems associated with single point
regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting,
thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it
essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is
provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current.
Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators,
these devices can be used with external components to
obtain adjustable voltage and currents.

2.2 AT89C51 Microcontroller

MICROCONTROLLERS

Microcontrollers’ producers have been struggling for a long time for attracting more and
more choosy customers. Every couple of days a new chip with a higher operating
frequency, more memory and more high-quality A/D converters comes on the market.

Nevertheless, by analyzing their structure it is concluded that most of them have the same
(or at least very similar) architecture known in the product catalogs as “8051
compatible”. What is all this about?

The whole story began in the far 80s when Intel launched its series of the
microcontrollers labeled with MCS 051. Although, several circuits belonging to this
Series had quite modest features in comparison to the new ones; they took over the world
very fast and became a standard for what nowadays is meant by a word microcontroller.

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 8
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

The reason for success and such a big popularity is a skillfully chosen configuration
which satisfies needs of a great number of the users allowing at the same time stable
expanding ( refers to the new types of the microcontrollers ). Besides, since a great deal
of software has been developed in the meantime, it simply was not profitable to change
anything in the microcontroller’s basic core. That is the reason for having a great number
of various microcontrollers which actually are solely upgraded versions of the 8051

family. What is it what makes this microcontroller so special and universal so that almost
all the world producers manufacture it today under different name?

2.3 Transistor BC548

BC548 is general purpose silicon, NPN, bipolar junction transistor. It is used for
amplification and switching purposes. The current gain may vary between 110 and 800.
The maximum DC current gain is 800.

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 13
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

Its equivalent transistors are 2N3904 and 2SC1815. These equivalent transistors however
have different lead assignments. The variants of BC548 are 548A, 548B and 548C which
vary in range of current gain and other characteristics.

The transistor terminals require a fixed DC voltage to operate in the desired region of its
characteristic curves. This is known as the biasing. For amplification applications, the
transistor is biased such that it is partly on for all input conditions. The input signal at
base is amplified and taken at the emitter. BC548 is used in common emitter
configuration for amplifiers. The voltage divider is the commonly used biasing mode. For
switching applications, transistor is biased so that it remains fully on if there is a signal at
its base. In the absence of base signal, it gets completely off.

2.4 Seven Segment Display

Page 14
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

A seven segment display is the most basic electronic display device that can display
digits from 0-9. They find wide application in devices that display numeric information
like digital clocks, radio, microwave ovens, electronic meters etc. The most common
configuration has an array of eight LEDs arranged in a special pattern to display these
digits. They are laid out as a squared-off figure ‘8’. Every LED is assigned a name from
'a' to 'h' and is identified by its name. Seven LEDs 'a' to 'g' are used to display the
numerals while eighth LED 'h' is used to display the dot/decimal.

A seven segment is generally available in ten pin package. While eight pins correspond to
the eight LEDs, the remaining two pins (at middle) are common and internally shorted.
These segments come in two configurations, namely, Common cathode (CC) and
Common anode (CA). In CC configuration, the negative terminals of all LEDs are
connected to the common pins. The common is connected to ground and a particular
LED glows when its corresponding pin is given high. In CA arrangement, the common
pin is given a high logic and the LED pins are given low to display a number.

2.5 Piezo Buzzer

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 16
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

The piezo buzzer produces sound based on reverse of the piezoelectric effect. The
generation of pressure variation or strain by the application of electric potential across a
piezoelectric material is the underlying principle. These buzzers can be used to alert a
user of an event corresponding to a switching action, counter signal or sensor input. They
are also used in alarm circuits.

The buzzer produces a same noisy sound irrespective of the voltage variation applied to
it. It consists of piezo crystals between two conductors. When a potential is applied
across these crystals, they push on one conductor and pull on the other. This, push and
pull action, results in a sound wave. Most buzzers produce sound in the range of 2 to 4
kHz.
The red lead is connected to the input and the black lead to the ground.

2.6 Switches and Pushbuttons

There is nothing simpler than this! This is the simplest way of controlling appearance of
some voltage on microcontroller’s input pin. There is also no need for additional
explanation of how these components operate.

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 18
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

Nevertheless, it is not so simple in practice... This is about something commonly

unnoticeable when using these components in everyday life. It is about contact bounce- a
common problem with m e c h a n i c a l switches. If contact switching does not happen
so quickly, several consecutive bounces can be noticed prior to maintain stable state. The
reasons for this are: vibrations, slight rough spots and dirt. Anyway, whole this process
does not last long (a few micro- or miliseconds), but long enough to be registered by the
microcontroller. Concerning pulse counter, error occurs in almost 100% of cases!

The simplest solution is to connect simple RC circuit which will “suppress” each quick
voltage change. Since the bouncing time is not defined, the values of elements are not
strictly determined. In the most cases, the values shown on figure are sufficient.

If complete safety is needed, radical measures should be taken! The circuit, shown on the
figure (RS flip-flop), changes logic state on its output with the first pulse triggered by
contact bounce. Even though this is more expensive solution (SPDT switch), the problem
is definitely resolved! Besides, since the condensator is not used, very short pulses can be
also registered in this way. In addition to these hardware solutions, a simple software
solution is commonly applied too: when a program tests the state of some input pin and
finds changes, the check should be done one more time after certain time delay. If the
change is confirmed it means that switch (or pushbutton) has changed its position. The
advantages of such solution are obvious: it is free of charge, effects of disturbances are
eliminated too and it can be adjusted to the worst-quality contacts.

3. SOFTWARE TOOLS
3.1 Keil Software

Keil compiler is a software used where the machine language code is

written and compiled. After compilation, the machine source code is converted
into hex code which is to be dumped into the microcontroller for further
processing. Keil compiler also supports C language code.

STEPS TO WRITE AN ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAM IN KEIL AND HOW TO COMPILE

IT:

1. Install the Keil Software in the PC in any of the drives.

2. After installation, an icon will be created with the name “Keil uVision3”.
Just drag this icon onto the desktop so that it becomes easy whenever
you try to write programs in keil.
3. Double click on this icon to start the keil compiler.
4. A page opens with different options in it showing the project workspace at
the leftmost corner side, output window in the bottom and an ash coloured
space for the program to be written.
5. Now to start using the keil, click on the option “project”.
6. A small window opens showing the options like new project, import
project, open project etc. Click on “New project”.
7. A small window with the title bar “Create new project” opens. The window
asks the user to give the project name with which it should be created and
the destination location. The project can be created in any of the drives
available. You can create a new folder and then a new file or can create
directly a new file.
8. After the file is saved in the given destination location, a window opens
where a list of vendors will be displayed and you have to select the device
for the target you have created.

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 20
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

9. The most widely used vendor is Atmel. So click on Atmel and now the
family of microcontrollers manufactured by Atmel opens. You can select
any one of the microcontrollers according to the requirement.

10. When you click on any one of the microcontrollers, the features of that
particular microcontroller will be displayed on the right side of the page.
The most appropriate microcontroller with which most of the projects can
be implemented is the AT89C51. Click on this microcontroller and have a
look at its features. Now click on “OK” to select this microcontroller.
11. A small window opens asking whether to copy the startup code into the file
you have created just now. Just click on “No” to proceed further.
12. Now you can see the TARGET and SOURCE GROUP created in the
project workspace.
13. Now click on “File” and in that “New”. A new page opens and you can start
writing program in it.
14. After the program is completed, save it with any name but with the .asm
extension. Save the program in the file you have created earlier.
15. You can notice that after you save the program, the predefined keywords
will be highlighted in bold letters.
16. Now add this file to the target by giving a right click on the source group. A
list of options open and in that select “Add files to the source group”.
Check for this file where you have saved and add it.
17. Right click on the target and select the first option “Options for target”. A
window opens with different options like device, target, output etc. First
click on “target”.
18. Since the set frequency of the microcontroller is 11.0592 MHz to interface
with the PC, just enter this frequency value in the Xtal (MHz) text area and
put a tick on the Use on-chip ROM. This is because the program what we
write here in the keil will later be dumped into the microcontroller and will
be stored in the inbuilt ROM in the microcontroller.
Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 21
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

19. Now click the option “Output” and give any name to the hex file to be
created in the “Name of executable” text area and put a tick to the “Create
HEX file” option present in the same window. The hex file can be created
in any of the drives. You can change the folder by clicking on “Select
folder for Objects”.
20. Now to check whether the program you have written is errorless or not,
click on the icon exactly below the “Open file” icon which is nothing but
Build Target icon. You can even use the shortcut key F7 to compile the
program written.
21. To check for the output, there are several windows like serial window,
memory window, project window etc. Depending on the program you have
written, select the appropriate window to see the output by entering into
debug mode.
22. The icon with the letter “d” indicates the debug mode.
23. Click on this icon and now click on the option “View” and select the
appropriate window to check for the output.
24. After this is done, click the icon “debug” again to come out of the debug
mode.
25. The hex file created as shown earlier will be dumped into the
microcontroller with the help of another software called Proload.

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 22
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

3.2 PROLOAD

Proload is a software which accepts only hex files. Once the machine
code is converted into hex code, that hex code has to be dumped into the
microcontroller placed in the programmer kit and this is done by the Proload.
Programmer kit contains a microcontroller on it other than the one which is to be
programmed. This microcontroller has a program in it written in such a way that it
accepts the hex file from the keil compiler and dumps this hex file into the
microcontroller which is to be programmed. As this programmer kit requires
power supply to be operated, this power supply is given from the power supply
circuit designed above. It should be noted that this programmer kit contains a
power supply section in the board itself but in order to switch on that power
supply, a source is required. Thus this is accomplished from the power supply
board with an output of 12volts or from an adapter connected to 230 V AC.

1. Install the Proload Software in the PC.

2. Now connect the Programmer kit to the PC (CPU) through serial cable.
3. Power up the programmer kit from the ac supply through adapter.
4. Now place the microcontroller in the GIF socket provided in the
programmer kit.
5. Click on the Proload icon in the PC. A window appears providing the
information like Hardware model, com port, device type, Flash size etc.
Click on browse option to select the hex file to be dumped into the
microcontroller and then click on “Auto program” to program the
microcontroller with that particular hex file.
6. The status of the microcontroller can be seen in the small status window in
the bottom of the page.
7. After this process is completed, remove the microcontroller from the programmer
kit and place it in your system board. Now the system board behaves according to
the program written in the microcontroller.

5. WORKING PROCEDURE

This quiz buzzer system has eight input pins corresponding to eight teams. The output is
displayed on a seven segment display (interfaced with microcontroller), which shows the
number corresponding to the team which has pressed the button first. A buzzer is also
sounded for a small duration to give an acoustic alarm. The connections of the seven
segment, input pins and output pins is shown in the circuit diagram.
refer ‘seven segment interfacing ’. There are a total of nine input pins. Eight pins of port
P1 of the microcontroller are corresponding to eight inputs and one stop pin for resetting
the buzzer system. On the output side a seven segment is connected to display the
corresponding output number. There is also a provision for sounding a buzzer for a small
duration.

When the system starts, the seven segment does not displays any output. The
microcontroller keeps scanning the input pins. As soon as any one of the inputs is
pressed, the buzzer sounds for a small duration. The seven segment displays the number
corresponding to the input pressed. Now even if any other input pin is pressed, there will
be no effect on the system till the time the stop pin is pressed to reset the system.

A seven segment consists of eight LEDs which are aligned in a manner so as to display
digits from 0 to 9 when proper combination of LED is switched on. Seven segment uses
seven LED’s to display digits from 0 to 9 and the eighth LED is used for the dot. A
typical seven segment looks like as shown in the figure below.

Dept of ISE,MSRIT
Page 28
 8 CANDIDATE QUIZ BUZZER USING 8051 MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89C51)

Seven Segment are available in two configuration - (1) Common Anode (2) Common
Cathode.
Here common anode seven segment display is used because the output current of the
microcontroller is not sufficient enough to drive the LED’s, similar to the case of driving
an LED. The circuit diagram shows the connections of seven segment to the controller.
The pins a to g of the Seven Segment are connected to the Port P2 of the microcontroller.
The common pin of the seven segment is connected to Vcc. The ‘h’ has not been used,
which is the dot pin of the controller.

Since the seven segment display works on negative logic, we will have to provide logic 0
to the corresponding pin to make an LED glow. Table below shows the hex values used
to display the different digits.
