I have made a event counter using 89C51 and the count value is displayed on 7 segment display .The problem is that whenever the power supply fails and resumes again the counter resets and displays 0 count and it again starts counting .
Can anyone tell me how do i save my counter values so that on resumption of power supply it starts counting from the same point where it was interrupted due to power supply failure .

hi ;

you should use one eeprom , (89c51 doesn't have eeprom ),then save the count in it , after every pulse (count ) , so when the power supply disconnects , the count is saved in eeprom , you should change your programm to check eeprom after starting .
 
Use AT89S8252 which has 1k inbuilt EEPROM or AT89C51 with 24Cxx I2C EEPROM to store your data.
 
I am extremely thankfull for your valued suggestions . But i have never used eeprom . Can u send me a schematic as to how do i interface eeprom with 89c51 and Assembly code to interact with eeprom .

Bye
