Product details
Overview
DS5001FP-16 from Maxim Integrated is an 8051-compatible nonvolatile SRAM-based microprocessor with 128kB on-chip programmable memory, 32 parallel I/O pins, two timer/counters, and an on-chip UART-designed for data-logging, adaptive firmware, and battery-backed embedded control in industrial power-monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS5001FP-16 datasheet, DS5001FP-16 pinout, DS5001FP-16 application, or DS5001FP-16 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, lithium-backed power-fail handling, byte-wide bus timing, and real-world use cases for secure, long-retention embedded computing.
Technical Context
The DS5001FP-16 implements a full 8051 instruction set with nonmultiplexed byte-wide address (BA14–BA0) and data (BD7–BD0) buses, enabling direct SRAM interfacing without consuming I/O ports. It supports dynamic memory partitioning between program and data space, up to 252kB total accessible memory via bank switching.
Its power management includes precision bandgap-based voltage monitoring (VPFW = 4.37V typ, VCCMIN = 4.12V typ), early-warning power-fail interrupt at VPFW, hardware reset at VCCMIN, and seamless lithium backup switchover at VLI (2.5V–4.0V). All chip enables (CE1–CE4, PE1–PE2) and VRST/PF are lithium-backed for guaranteed state retention.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P0.0–P0.7 | Port 0 I/O / Address-Data Bus (multiplexed in expanded mode) | Open-drain port requiring external pullups; serves as lower byte of address/data bus during external memory access |
| P1.0–P1.7 | General-purpose I/O port | True bidirectional CMOS I/O with no internal pullups; usable for GPIO, interrupts, or custom peripheral control |
| P2.0–P2.7 | Port 2 I/O / High-order address bus (A8–A15) | Provides MSB address bits during expanded memory access; also supports RPC mode for real-time clock interface |
| P3.0/RXD, P3.1/TXD | UART serial interface | Full-duplex asynchronous communication channel; requires level-shifting for PC COM port connection |
| RST | Active-high reset input | Internally pulled down; eliminates need for external RC reset circuitry |
| XTAL1/XTAL2 | Crystal oscillator connections | Supports 1–16MHz fundamental-mode crystals; XTAL1 is inverter input, XTAL2 is output |
| BA0–BA14 | Byte-wide address bus | 15-bit nonmultiplexed address lines driving SRAM address inputs directly; BA15 omitted due to internal CE decoding |
| BD0–BD7 | Byte-wide data bus | 8-bit bidirectional data path for NV SRAM read/write; shares timing with CE1–CE4 and R/W signals |
| R/W | Read/Write strobe | Active-low signal controlling SRAM write enable; automatically deasserted for ROM-mapped code segments |
| CE1–CE4 | Lithium-backed chip enables | Four decoded enables for up to four 32kB SRAM blocks; remain logic-high during VCC dropout to prevent spurious writes |
| PE1–PE4 | Peripheral enable outputs | Four memory-mapped peripheral selects (0000h–FFFFh); PE1–PE2 are lithium-backed for RTC and battery-backed peripherals |
| VRST | Power-fail reset indicator | Open-drain output driven low when VCC < VCCMIN; guaranteed active even at VCC = 0V for synchronized multi-device shutdown |
| PF | Lithium switchover flag | Active-low signal indicating transition to lithium backup; used to isolate non-backed peripherals from battery load |
| MSEL | Memory size select | Hardwired high/low to configure for 32kB × 4 or single 128kB SRAM; required for correct address decoding |
| VCCO | Switched power output | Outputs either VCC or VLI (minus ~0.45V drop); powers VCC pins of battery-backed SRAM during backup mode |
| VLI | Lithium voltage input | Accepts 2.5–4.0V lithium cell; internal switch isolates battery until VCC drops below VLI threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-system reprogrammability | On-chip serial bootstrap loader enables field firmware updates without removing the device from the PCB |
| Self-modifying code support | Allows runtime modification of program memory - essential for adaptive algorithms and over-the-air configuration |
| Hardware CRC-16 engine | Performs automatic integrity check of NV RAM contents during power-up or on-demand, reducing software overhead |
| Dual power domains | Separate VCC and VLI supplies with automatic switchover ensure continuous operation and state retention during main power loss |
| Watchdog timer + early-warning interrupt | Prevents system lockup via hardware reset and provides 150ms warning window before VCCMIN to save critical data |
| Nonmultiplexed memory bus | BA14–BA0 + BD7–BD0 + R/W + CE1–CE4 frees all 32 I/O pins for application use - no bus contention or port sharing |
Applications
| Smart Energy Metering | Industrial Data Logger |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum memory capacity supported by DS5001FP-16?
The DS5001FP-16 supports up to 252kB of accessible data memory through bank switching: primary 64kB, secondary 64kB via peripheral selector, additional 64kB via expanded bus, and up to 60kB converted from program space. Its native NV SRAM capacity is 128kB, configurable as program or data segments at load time.
Does DS5001FP-16 require an external crystal oscillator?
Yes, DS5001FP-16 requires an external crystal connected between XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins to operate at its rated 16MHz speed. The internal oscillator supports fundamental-mode crystals from 1MHz to 16MHz; ceramic resonators are not recommended due to startup and stability requirements.
How does DS5001FP-16 handle power failure events?
DS5001FP-16 detects falling VCC with a precision bandgap reference: it triggers a power-fail interrupt at VPFW (4.37V typ), asserts hardware reset at VCCMIN (4.12V typ), and switches to lithium backup at VLI (2.5–4.0V). Signals VRST and PF remain active even at VCC = 0V to coordinate system shutdown.
Can DS5001FP-16 execute code directly from external memory?
No, DS5001FP-16 executes only from its internal 128kB NV SRAM. External memory (e.g., SRAM, RTC) is accessed via MOVX instructions for data reads/writes only. Program code must be loaded into NV SRAM via the on-chip serial bootstrap loader or in-system programming.
Is DS5001FP-16 pin-compatible with other 8051-family microcontrollers?
DS5001FP-16 is instruction-set compatible with the 8051 but not pin-compatible with standard 8051 variants due to its unique byte-wide bus (BA/BD pins), lithium backup interface (VLI, VCCO, PF, VRST), and expanded peripheral enables (PE1–PE4). Its 80-pin MQFP footprint is specific to the DS5001FP family.
