Preliminary Information
PSD9XX Family
2.0
Key Features
t A simple interface to 8-bit microcontrollers that use either multiplexed or
non-multiplexed busses. The bus interface logic uses the control signals generated by
the microcontroller automatically when the address is decoded and a read or write is
performed. A partial list of the MCU families supported include:
• Intel 8031, 80196, 80186, 80C251
• Motorola 68HC11, 68HC16, 68HC12, and 683XX
• Philips 8031 and 8051XA
• Zilog Z80, Z8, and Z180
t Internal 1 or 2 Mbit flash memory. This is the main Flash memory. It is divided into
eight equal-sized blocks that can be accessed with user-specified addresses.
t Internal secondary 256 Kbit Flash memory. It is divided into four equal-sized
blocks that can be accessed with user-specified addresses. This secondary memory
brings the ability to execute code and update the main Flash concurrently.
t 16, 64 or 256 Kbit SRAM. The SRAM’s contents can be protected from a
power failure by connecting an external battery.
t General Purpose PLD (GPLD) with 19 outputs. The GPLD may be used to implement
external chip selects or combinatorial logic function.
t Decode PLD (DPLD) that decodes address for selection of internal memory blocks.
t 27 individually configurable I/O port pins that can be used for the following functions:
• MCU I/Os
• PLD I/Os
• Latched MCU address output
• Special function I/Os.
• 16 of the I/O ports may be configured as open-drain outputs.
t Standby current as low as 50 µA for 5 V devices.
t Built-in JTAG compliant serial port allows full-chip In-System Programmability (ISP).
With it, you can program a blank device or reprogram a device in the factory or the
field.
t Internal page register that can be used to expand the microcontroller address space by
a factor of 256.
t Internal programmable Power Management Unit (PMU) that supports a low power
mode called Power Down Mode. The PMU can automatically detect a lack of
microcontroller activity and put the PSD9XX into Power Down Mode.
t Erase/Write cycles:
• Flash memory – 100,000 minimum
• PLD – 1,000 minimum
• Data Retention: 15 years
