AT89C51RB2/RC2
Flash Registers and
Memory Map
The AT89C51RB2/RC2 Flash memory uses several registers for its management:
•
Hardware registers can only be accessed through the parallel programming modes
which are handled by the parallel programmer.
•
Software registers are in a special page of the Flash memory which can be
accessed through the API or with the parallel programming modes. This page,
called "Extra Flash Memory", is not in the internal Flash program memory
addressing space.
Hardware Register
The only hardware register of the AT89C51RB2/RC2 is called Hardware Security Byte
(HSB).

Mnemonic Description
X2 Mode
Programmed (‘0’ value) to force X2 mode (6 clocks per instruction) after reset.

X2
Unprogrammed (‘1’ Value) to force X1 mode, Standard Mode, after reset
(Default).
Boot Loader Jump Bit
Unprogrammed (‘1’ value) to start the user’s application on next reset at address
0000h.

Programmed (‘0’ value) to start the boot loader at address F800h on next reset
(Default).

See Table 66.
Boot Loader Jump Bit (BLJB)
One bit of the HSB, the BLJB bit, is used to force the boot address:
•
•
When this bit is programmed (‘1’ value) the boot address is 0000h.
When this bit is unprogrammed (‘1’ value) the boot address is F800h. By default,
this bit is unprogrammed and the ISP is enabled.
Flash Memory Lock Bits
The three lock bits provide different levels of protection for the on-chip code and data,
when programmed as shown in Table 66.
