Signal
Name

Type
Description
Function
RD#
O
Read or 17th Address Bit (A16). Read signal output to external data
memory or 17th external address bit (A16), depending on the values of
bits RD0 and RD1 in configuration byte UCONFIG0. (See PSEN#).
P3.7/A16
RST
I
Reset. Reset input to the chip. Holding this pin high for 64 oscillator
periods while the oscillator is running resets the device. The port pins are
driven to their reset conditions when a voltage greater than VIH1 is
applied, whether or not the oscillator is running. This pin has an internal
pulldown resistor, which allows the device to be reset by connecting a
—
capacitor between this pin and VCC
.
Asserting RST when the chip is in idle mode or powerdown mode returns
the chip to normal operation.
RXD
I/O
I/O
Receive Serial Data. RXD sends and receives data in serial I/O mode 0 P3.0
and receives data in serial I/O modes 1, 2, and 3.
RXD1
Receive Serial Data 1. RXD1 sends and receives data in serial I/O
mode 0 and receives data in serial I/O modes 1, 2, and 3 for the 2nd
serial port.
P1.2/ECI
T1:0
T2
I
Timer 1:0 External Clock Inputs. When timer 1:0 operates as a counter, P3.5:4
a falling edge on the T1:0 pin increments the count.
I/O
Timer 2 Clock Input/Output. For the timer 2 capture mode, this signal is P1.0
the external clock input. For the clock-out mode, it is the timer 2 clock
output.
T2EX
I
Timer 2 External Input. In timer 2 capture mode, a falling edge initiates a P1.1
capture of the timer 2 registers. In auto-reload mode, a falling edge
causes the timer 2 registers to be reloaded. In the up-down counter
mode, this signal determines the count direction: 1 = up, 0 = down.
TXD
O
O
Transmit Serial Data. TXD outputs the shift clock in serial I/O mode 0
and transmits serial data in serial I/O modes 1, 2, and 3.
P3.1
TXD1
Transmit Serial Data 1. TXD1 outputs the shift clock in serial I/O mode 0 P1.3/CEX0
and transmits serial data in serial I/O modes 1, 2, and 3 for the 2nd serial
port.
VCC
PWR Supply Voltage. Connect this pin to the +5V supply voltage.

VCC2
PWR Secondary Supply Voltage 2. This supply voltage connection is
provided to reduce power supply noise. Connection of this pin to the +5V
supply voltage is recommended. However, when using the 8XC251SB as
a pin-for-pin replacement for the 8XC51FX, VSS2 can be unconnected
without loss of compatibility. (Not available on DIP)
VSS
GND Circuit Ground. Connect this pin to ground.
—
—
VSS1
GND Secondary Ground. This ground is provided to reduce ground bounce
and improve power supply bypassing. Connection of this pin to ground is
recommended. However, when using the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ as a pin-
for-pin replacement for the 8XC51BH, VSS1 can be unconnected without
loss of compatibility. (Not available on DIP)
VSS2
GND Secondary Ground 2. This ground is provided to reduce ground bounce
and improve power supply bypassing. Connection of this pin to ground is
recommended. However, when using the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ as a pin-
for-pin replacement for the 8XC51FX, VSS2 can be unconnected without
loss of compatibility. (Not available on DIP)
