This document discusses input/output (I/O) port programming for the 8051 microcontroller. It describes the characteristics of ports 0-3, including:
- Port 0 has 8 pins that can be used for both input and output, but require pull-up resistors externally since it is an open drain port. Code is provided to read input from port 0 and output it to port 1.
- Port 1 has 8 pins that can be used for input or output without pull-up resistors as it has them internally. Code toggles the output to port 1 between 55H and AAH.
- Port 2 also has 8 pins that can be used for input or output without pull-up resistors. Code togg
