Product details
Overview
DS5001FP-16+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8051-compatible nonvolatile SRAM-based microprocessor with 128kB NV RAM, 16MHz max clock, 32 I/O pins, on-chip serial bootstrap loader, and lithium-backed power-fail protection - designed for data-logging, adaptive firmware, and secure embedded systems requiring long-term memory retention without external EEPROM or Flash.
For engineers reviewing the DS5001FP-16+ datasheet, DS5001FP-16+ pinout, DS5001FP-16+ application, or DS5001FP-16+ equivalent, key selection considerations include byte-wide bus timing (tAVDV = 9tCLK − 105 ns @16MHz), VCCMIN = 4.00–4.25V reset threshold, lithium-backed CE1–CE4/PE1–PE2 enables, R/W-controlled NV RAM write-protection, and MSEL-driven 32kB vs. 128kB SRAM mode configuration.
Technical Context
The DS5001FP-16+ implements a full 8051 instruction set with two timer/counters, UART, and 32-bit parallel I/O while replacing ROM with battery-backed NV SRAM - enabling in-system reprogramming and self-modifying code execution. Its nonmultiplexed byte-wide bus (BA14–0 / BD7–0) decouples memory access from I/O port usage.
Power management integrates precision bandgap-based VPFW (4.25–4.50V) early-warning interrupt, VCCMIN-triggered reset, and seamless VCC-to-VLI switchover with VRST and PF status outputs. All chip enables (CE1–CE4, PE1–PE2) remain logic-high during backup, preserving peripheral state.

Pinout & Package
DS5001FP-16+ uses an 80-pin MQFP package (24.0 × 18.0 mm body, 0.8 mm pitch, 3.4 mm max height) with exposed thermal pad per Maxim package drawing 56-G4005-001. Pin functions are validated per official DS5001FP datasheet Rev 070605, pages 4–6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P0.0–P0.7 | Open-drain I/O / Address-Data Bus (AD0–AD7) | Serves as multiplexed expanded bus in 8051 mode; open-drain requires external pullups unless used as AD bus |
| P1.0–P1.7 | General-purpose I/O | Full CMOS push-pull I/O; no alternate functions - reserved exclusively for application use |
| P2.0–P2.7 | I/O / High-order address (A8–A15) | Provides A8–A15 in expanded mode; also functions as general I/O when not addressing external memory |
| P3.0/RXD, P3.1/TXD | UART serial interface | On-chip serial port for bootstrap loading; requires level-shifting for direct PC COM port connection |
| RST | Active-high reset input | Internally pulled down; RC power-on reset not required or recommended |
| XTAL1/XTAL2 | Crystal oscillator inputs | Supports fundamental-mode crystals up to 16MHz; XTAL1 is inverter input, XTAL2 is output |
| BA0–BA14 | Byte-wide address bus | Direct connection to SRAM address lines; BA15 omitted - CE2/CE3 repurposed as A15/A16 in 128kB mode |
| BD0–BD7 | Byte-wide bidirectional data bus | Connects directly to SRAM data I/O; supports MOVX instructions without port multiplexing overhead |
| R/W | Read/write strobe | Controls SRAM WE#; automatically enforces write-protection on program-memory segments |
| CE1–CE4 | Lithium-backed chip enables | Remain logic-high during VCC dropout; enable up to four 32kB SRAM blocks or peripherals |
| PE1–PE4 | Peripheral enables (PE1–PE2 lithium-backed) | Access 16kB memory-mapped peripheral windows (0000h–FFFFh); PE1–PE2 retain state during backup |
| VCCO | Switched VCC output | Automatically routes VCC or VLI to SRAM VCC pin; drops ~0.45V under load - mandates low-IDD SRAM |
| VLI | Lithium voltage input | Accepts 2.5–4.0V lithium cell; powers VCCO, CE/PE outputs, and NV RAM retention when VCC < VLI |
| VRST | Power-fail reset indicator | Open-drain I/O driven low when VCC < VCCMIN; guaranteed active even at VCC = 0V |
| PF | Power-fail switchover flag | Drives low when VCC < VLI; used to isolate non-battery-backed circuitry during backup mode |
| MSEL | Memory size select | Hardwired to VCC (32kB mode) or GND (128kB mode); determines CE2/CE3 remapping to A16/A15 |
| PROG | Bootstrap loader trigger | Falling edge initiates serial loader; internally pulled up - debounced externally to prevent spurious entry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-system programmability | On-chip serial bootstrap loader validates firmware before execution and becomes transparent - eliminates need for external programmers |
| Self-modifying code support | Application software can rewrite its own program or data memory in NV SRAM - enables field-upgradable logic and adaptive behavior |
| Dedicated byte-wide bus | BA14–0 + BD7–0 + R/W provides nonmultiplexed memory access - frees all 32 I/O pins for application use |
| Lithium-backed reliability | CE1–CE4, PE1–PE2, VRST, PF, and VCCO retain state during VCC dropout - ensures deterministic power-fail response and memory integrity |
| Dynamic memory partitioning | Special function registers allow runtime reconfiguration of 64kB program/data space - supports flexible memory mapping without hardware changes |
| CRC-16 memory validation | Hardware CRC-16 engine verifies NV RAM contents on boot - detects corruption from power loss or radiation events |

FAQ
What is the maximum SRAM capacity supported by DS5001FP-16+?
The DS5001FP-16+ supports up to 128kB of nonvolatile SRAM when MSEL is grounded, using CE2 and CE3 as A16 and A15. In 32kB mode (MSEL = VCC), it accesses four independent 32kB blocks. With bank switching and peripheral enable mapping, total accessible data memory reaches 252kB - though only 128kB is nonvolatile and lithium-backed. The DS5001FP-16+ does not support external Flash or EEPROM as primary program memory.
How does DS5001FP-16+ handle power failure and ensure data integrity?
The DS5001FP-16+ uses a precision bandgap reference to monitor VCC, triggering a power-fail warning interrupt at VPFW (4.25–4.50V), then a hard reset at VCCMIN (4.00–4.25V). When VCC drops below VLI (2.5–4.0V), it switches to lithium power and drives VRST low while holding CE1–CE4/PE1–PE2 high - preserving SRAM contents and peripheral states for >10 years. CRC-16 validation runs on boot to detect corruption.
Can DS5001FP-16+ execute code directly from its NV SRAM?
Yes - the DS5001FP-16+ executes code directly from its 128kB NV SRAM using the byte-wide bus (BA14–0 / BD7–0). Program memory segments are write-protected by hardware when designated as "ROM" in the memory map, preventing accidental overwrites. Unlike traditional 8051s, no external ROM or Flash is needed; firmware resides entirely in battery-backed SRAM.
What are the key timing constraints for interfacing DS5001FP-16+ with 128kB SRAM?
At 16MHz, DS5001FP-16+ requires tAVDV ≤ 123 ns (9×62.5ns − 105ns) for valid data after address setup, tCEPW ≥ 169 ns (4×62.5ns − 35ns) for CE pulse width, and tRWLPW ≥ 358 ns (6×62.5ns − 20ns) for write strobe width. SRAM must meet these AC specs - fast 15ns or better CMOS SRAM is recommended. The DS5001FP-16+ does not support asynchronous SRAM with wait-state insertion.
Is DS5001FP-16+ pin-compatible with other devices in the DS5001 family?
Yes - DS5001FP-16+, DS5001FP-16N+, DS5001FP-12-44+, and DS5001FP-12-44 share identical pinouts within their respective packages (80-pin MQFP or 44-pin MQFP). The DS5001FP-16+ is fully interchangeable with DS5001FP-16N+ on the same 80-pin footprint, differing only in temperature rating and associated DC specs - no PCB redesign is needed for upgrade to industrial grade.
