X2 Feature
Description
In comparison to the original 80C52, the AT89C51RD2/ED2 implements some new features,
which are
The AT89C51RD2/ED2 core needs only 6 clock periods per machine cycle. This feature called
‘X2’ provides the following advantages:
In order to keep the original C51 compatibility, a divider by 2 is inserted between the XTAL1 sig-
nal and the main clock input of the core (phase generator). This divider may be disabled by
software.
The clock for the whole circuit and peripherals is first divided by two before being used by the
CPU core and the peripherals.
This allows any cyclic ratio to be accepted on XTAL1 input. In X2 mode, as this divider is
bypassed, the signals on XTAL1 must have a cyclic ratio between 40 to 60%.

• Divide frequency crystals by 2 (cheaper crystals) while keeping same CPU power.
• Save power consumption while keeping same CPU power (oscillator power saving).
• Save power consumption by dividing dynamically the operating frequency by 2 in operating
• Increase CPU power by 2 while keeping same crystal frequency.
