Cheap and Simple Learning Board using AT89S51

Build your own a cheap simple Microcontroller learning board S-52. The board is based on ATMEL’s new ISP chip AT89S51, AT89S52, or AT89S53. This board can be used by beginners for learning Assembly and C language programming. Single sided PCB file included.
 


Introduction

I have designed this leaning board to be used as a tool for learning MCS-51 Microcontrollers.
The AT89Sxx learning board features,

  • Designed for new ISP chips, 89S51, 89S52, and 89S53, 40-pin DIP,
  • In System Programmable (ISP) through the 6-pin header and a jumper, (no need external programmer),
  • TxD and RxD serial port for communicating with serial devices,
  • 32 bit GPIO,
  • Onboard rectifier and +5V DC voltage regulator,
  • Single Sided PCB design.
