Product details
Overview
DS80C320-FNG+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, 80C32-compatible 8-bit microcontroller with 4-clock-per-machine-cycle architecture, 256 bytes of on-chip RAM, three 16-bit timer/counters, and dual full-duplex hardware serial ports. It operates from 4.25V to 5.5V at up to 33MHz crystal frequency and targets industrial control, embedded instrumentation, and legacy 8051 system upgrades requiring deterministic real-time performance.
For engineers reviewing the DS80C320-FNG+ datasheet, DS80C320-FNG+ pinout, DS80C320-FNG+ application, or DS80C320-FNG+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 33MHz max clock speed, dual DPTR support for accelerated memory moves, programmable MOVX stretch timing (2–9 cycles), power-fail reset/interrupt, and watchdog timer - all while maintaining 80C32 software and pin compatibility in 44-pin TQFP packaging.
Technical Context
The DS80C320-FNG+ implements a redesigned 8051 core eliminating wasted clock and memory cycles, delivering 2.5× average instruction throughput versus standard 80C32 at identical crystal frequency. Its dual data pointer (DPTR0/DPTR1) enables single-instruction switching between source and destination addresses during block transfers.
Timing behavior is configurable: timers default to 12-clock-per-cycle mode for backward compatibility but can be reprogrammed to 4-clock mode via CKCON register bits; MOVX access speed is user-selectable (2–9 machine cycles) using CKCON.2–0, enabling seamless interfacing with both fast SRAM and slow peripherals like LCD controllers without glue logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 80C32-compatible 8-bit CPU with 4-clock-per-machine-cycle execution (vs. 12 in legacy 80C32) |
| Max Clock Speed | 33MHz crystal input, enabling ~82.5MHz apparent instruction throughput |
| On-Chip RAM | 256 bytes scratchpad RAM - sufficient for stack and local variables without external dependency |
| Serial Interfaces | Two independent full-duplex UARTs: UART0 (P3.0/P3.1) and UART1 (P1.2/P1.3), each with dedicated SFRs |
| Timer/Counters | Three 16-bit timers/counters (T0, T1, T2), with T2 supporting capture/reload and baud rate generation |
| Interrupt Sources | 13 total interrupts including six external (INT0–INT5), two serial, three timer, and power-fail interrupt |
| Operating Voltage | 4.25V to 5.5V - compatible with legacy +5V systems and tolerant of supply droop |
| Package | 44-pin TQFP (7mm × 7mm, 0.8mm pitch) - surface-mount, thermally enhanced, RoHS-compliant |
Pinout & Package
DS80C320-FNG+ is housed in a 44-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with exposed thermal pad, rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin functions are fully defined per Maxim's official pinout documentation for DS80C320/DS80C323.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 16, 17) | Power Supply | +5V main supply; dual pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity in high-speed operation |
| GND (Pin 4) | Digital Ground | Reference return path for all digital I/O and core logic; separate from analog ground (not present) |
| RST (Pin 14) | Reset Input | Schmitt-triggered active-high input with internal pulldown; supports wired-OR reset sources without external RC network |
| XTAL1 (Pin 15), XTAL2 (Pin 14) | Crystal Oscillator Interface | Supports parallel-resonant AT-cut crystals up to 33MHz; XTAL1 accepts external clock input if crystal omitted |
| P0.0–P0.7 (Pins 33–38, 26, 27) | Multiplexed Address/Data Bus | Provides lower 8 bits of address during ALE high, then bidirectional data bus; requires external latch (e.g., 74LS373) for memory interface |
| P1.0–P1.7 (Pins 40–44, 1–3) | General-Purpose I/O with Alternate Functions | Includes T2/T2EX, RXD1/TXD1, and INT2–INT5 - enables expanded interrupt handling and second UART without port remapping |
| P2.0–P2.7 (Pins 18–25) | Upper Address Bus (A8–A15) | Outputs MSB address during external memory access; latched value used by MOVX @Ri instructions |
| P3.0–P3.7 (Pins 5–13) | Multifunction I/O Port | Provides UART0 (RXD0/TXD0), INT0/INT1, T0/T1, WR/RD - essential for standard 8051 peripheral interfacing |
| EA (Pin 29) | External Access Enable | Must be tied low to disable internal ROM and enable external program memory access - required for DS80C320 operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Data Pointer (DPTR0/DPTR1) | Reduces 64-byte memory block move from 1869 to 1097 machine cycles - saves 123.5μs at 25MHz |
| Programmable MOVX Stretch Timing | CKCON.2–0 selects 2–9 machine-cycle MOVX strobe width, enabling direct interface to 120ns–1120ns memory/peripherals |
| Power-Fail Detection & Reset | Integrated comparator triggers early-warning interrupt before reset, allowing safe state save and graceful shutdown |
| Programmable Watchdog Timer | Configurable timeout period prevents runaway code; reset or interrupt output selectable via WDCON register |
| Second Hardware UART (UART1) | Full-duplex serial port on P1.2/P1.3 with dedicated SCON1/SBUF1 registers - supports concurrent dual-protocol communication |
| Timer Compatibility Mode | Timers default to 12-clock-per-cycle on reset, preserving legacy baud rates and timing-critical code without modification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS80C323-ENL+ | Same core and peripherals, but 2.7V–5.5V operation and 18MHz max clock; lower power, reduced speed | Battery-powered portable instruments where voltage flexibility and power efficiency outweigh raw speed | Select DS80C323-ENL+ only when supply voltage may dip below 4.25V or when 18MHz suffices for timing budget |
| AT89C51RD2-RLTUM | 8051-compatible with 64kB Flash, 1.25kB RAM, but single UART and no dual DPTR or power-fail detection | Cost-sensitive consumer devices needing flash-based firmware updates but no industrial reliability features | Choose AT89C51RD2-RLTUM only when Flash memory and ISP capability are mandatory and dual UART/watchdog are unnecessary |
Compared with DS80C320-FNG+, DS80C323-ENL+ trades speed and voltage headroom for wider supply range and lower active current, while AT89C51RD2-RLTUM sacrifices integrated reliability features (power-fail, dual UART, dual DPTR) for on-chip Flash and simpler toolchain support - making DS80C320-FNG+ optimal for deterministic, upgrade-focused industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum crystal frequency supported by DS80C320-FNG+?
The DS80C320-FNG+ supports a maximum crystal frequency of 33MHz, enabling an apparent instruction execution rate of approximately 82.5MHz due to its 4-clock-per-machine-cycle architecture. This specification is confirmed in Maxim's official ordering information table and electrical characteristics section, and applies specifically to the DS80C320 variant - not the DS80C323.
Does DS80C320-FNG+ include on-chip program memory?
No, the DS80C320-FNG+ does not include on-chip ROM or Flash memory. It contains only 256 bytes of on-chip scratchpad RAM. Program code must be executed from external ROM or EPROM, accessed via the multiplexed P0 address/data bus and P2 upper address lines, with EA pin held low - consistent with the original 80C32 architecture.
How does the dual data pointer in DS80C320-FNG+ improve memory transfer performance?
The DS80C320-FNG+ implements two independent 16-bit data pointers (DPTR0 at 82h/83h, DPTR1 at 84h/85h) selectable via DPS bit at 86h. This eliminates the need to save/restore address registers during block moves: a 64-byte transfer executes in 1097 machine cycles instead of 1869, saving 123.5μs at 25MHz - a documented 41% reduction verified in Maxim's application example.
Can DS80C320-FNG+ operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, DS80C320-FNG+ requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.25V and is specified for 4.25V to 5.5V operation. For 3.3V compatibility, the pin-compatible DS80C323 variant (e.g., DS80C323-ENL+) should be selected, which supports 2.7V to 5.5V operation but with a reduced 18MHz maximum clock speed.
What is the function of the EA pin on DS80C320-FNG+ and how must it be connected?
The EA (External Access) pin on DS80C320-FNG+ is an active-low input that must be permanently tied to ground to enable external program memory access. Unlike some 8051 derivatives, DS80C320-FNG+ has no internal ROM; asserting EA low disables nonexistent on-chip code storage and routes all program fetches to external memory via P0 and P2 buses - a requirement explicitly stated in Maxim's datasheet pin description section.
