Product details
Overview
DS5000T-32-16+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit 8051-compatible soft microcontroller with 32 kB nonvolatile SRAM, 16 MHz maximum crystal frequency, and integrated permanently powered real-time clock (RTC). It supports crashproof operation with 10-year data retention without VCC, power-fail interrupt/reset, watchdog timer, and encrypted software execution - deployed in secure industrial monitoring systems requiring tamper-resistant firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the DS5000T-32-16+ datasheet, DS5000T-32-16+ pinout, DS5000T-32-16+ application, or DS5000T-32-16+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, RTC memory-mapped access details, serial bootstrap loader baud rate compatibility, and validated alternative microcontrollers for secure embedded control upgrades.
Technical Context
The DS5000T-32-16+ implements a fully 8051-object-code-compatible CPU core with on-chip nonvolatile SRAM used for both program and data storage. Its RTC is accessed via SFR bit MCON.2 (ECE2), enabling alternate MOVX addressing to a serial timekeeping peripheral mapped into data space.
It features dual programming modes: serial bootstrap loading at 300–9600 bps over UART (P3.0/P3.1), and parallel programming using PSEN/RST/VPP with expanded 32 kB support. Power-fail detection triggers early-warning interrupts at VPFW = 4.15–4.75 V and forces reset below VCCmin = 4.05–4.65 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 8051-compatible 8-bit CPU with object-code compatibility for existing 8051 toolchains |
| RAM Size | 32 kB nonvolatile CMOS SRAM for combined program/data storage, retaining contents ≥10 years without VCC |
| Max Clock Frequency | 16 MHz crystal oscillator; supports external clock drive with tCLKHPW/tCLKLPW ≥15 ns |
| RTC Integration | Permanently powered real-time clock with hundredth-second resolution, accessed via ECE2-controlled MOVX alternate map |
| Power-Fail Response | Detects voltage drop to 4.15–4.75 V (VPFW) and asserts reset below 4.05–4.65 V (VCCmin) |
| Serial Loader Baud Rates | Supports 300/1200/2400/9600 bps with 11.0592 MHz crystal; compatible with Intel hex file loading over 3-wire RS-232 interface |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C ambient range, validated per DC/AC specs across full VCC = 5 V ±5% |
Pinout & Package
DS5000T-32-16+ uses a 40-pin PDIP package (0.600" width, 2.080–2.100" length) with industry-standard 8051 pinout compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P0.0–P0.7 / AD0–AD7 | Multiplexed address/data bus (open-drain) | Requires external pull-ups; demultiplexed by ALE for expanded memory access |
| P1.0–P1.7 | General-purpose I/O port | 8-bit bidirectional port with no internal pull-ups; usable for GPIO or external event capture |
| P2.0–P2.7 / A8–A15 | Upper address bus / I/O port | Provides MSB of 16-bit address during expanded memory cycles; configurable as GPIO |
| P3.0/RXD, P3.1/TXD | Full-duplex UART interface | Asynchronous serial communication channel supporting bootstrap loader and runtime debugging |
| RST | Active-high reset input | Internally pulled down; logic high initiates hardware reset and enables Program Load Mode when combined with PSEN low |
| XTAL1, XTAL2 | Crystal oscillator inputs | XTAL1 accepts inverting amplifier input; XTAL2 provides output; supports 1–16 MHz crystals |
| EA | External access control | Pulled down internally; must be tied to +5 V to enable internal NV RAM; acts as VPP during parallel programming |
| ALE | Address latch enable | Demultiplexes P0 during expanded bus cycles; doubles as PROG pulse input during parallel programming |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS5000T-32-16+ in embedded systems?
The DS5000T-32-16+ functions as a secure, crashproof 8-bit microcontroller with integrated real-time clock and 32 kB nonvolatile SRAM. It executes 8051-compatible code, supports encrypted firmware loading via serial bootstrap loader, and retains all program/data for ≥10 years without power - making DS5000T-32-16+ ideal for unattended, tamper-resistant industrial and medical devices.
Does DS5000T-32-16+ require an external battery for RTC operation?
No. The DS5000T-32-16+ includes a permanently powered real-time clock that operates independently of main VCC, drawing current from an internal charge pump or auxiliary supply path. This eliminates the need for external batteries or supercapacitors - a key differentiator confirmed in the datasheet's "Optional Permanently Powered Real-Time Clock" feature and RTC memory mapping description.
How is firmware loaded into DS5000T-32-16+ during production?
Firmware is loaded into DS5000T-32-16+ via its serial bootstrap loader using Intel hex format over UART (P3.0/P3.1) at standard baud rates (300–9600 bps), or via parallel programming using RST/PSEN/VPP signals. The serial method is recommended for final production due to its simplicity, reliability, and lack of need for specialized hardware programmers - a capability intrinsic to DS5000T-32-16+'s architecture.
What does "+" signify in DS5000T-32-16+?
The "+" suffix in DS5000T-32-16+ denotes compliance with lead-free RoHS packaging requirements. This version uses matte tin plating on its 40-pin PDIP leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow specifications - confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the official datasheet.
Can DS5000T-32-16+ execute code directly from its nonvolatile RAM?
Yes. DS5000T-32-16+ executes code directly from its 32 kB nonvolatile SRAM, which serves as both program and data memory. The EA pin must be tied to +5 V to enable internal memory access, and the memory map supports unified use of the NV RAM space - a core architectural feature distinguishing DS5000T-32-16+ from traditional 8051 variants with separate ROM/RAM spaces.
