The 83C51KB is an application specific read-onlymemory (ROM) microcontroller. The 83C51KB is designed as a keyboard scanner and is architecturally similar but not identical to the 80C51BH. Certain features not on the 80C51 have been added to support keyboard scanning. In order to streamline 83C51KB cost/performance factors, 80C51 peripherals not applicable to keyboard scanning are no longer present. Refer to the MCS® 51 Microcontroller Family User’s Manual (order number 272383) for a complete description of the 80C51. Figure 1 contains a basic memory map of the architecture. 83C51KB electrical information is contained in the datasheet (order number 272800).
