Product details
Overview
DS80C320-QCL+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, 80C32-compatible 8-bit microcontroller featuring a 4-clock-per-machine-cycle core, 33MHz maximum crystal frequency, 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 and targets legacy 8051-based industrial control, instrumentation, and embedded communication systems requiring performance uplift without architectural overhaul.
For engineers reviewing the DS80C320-QCL+ datasheet, DS80C320-QCL+ pinout, DS80C320-QCL+ application, or DS80C320-QCL+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-clock execution architecture, programmable MOVX memory access stretch (2–9 cycles), dual data pointer for accelerated block moves, power-fail reset/interrupt, and watchdog timer - all while maintaining pin and instruction-set compatibility with standard 80C32 designs in 44-pin PLCC.
Technical Context
The DS80C320-QCL+ implements a redesigned 8051 core eliminating wasted clock and memory cycles, delivering 2.5× average instruction speed improvement over the original 80C32 at identical crystal frequencies. Its dual-data-pointer architecture (DPTR0 at 82h/83h, DPTR1 at 84h/85h, selected via DPS bit at 86h) enables single-instruction pointer switching during memory block transfers.
Timing behavior is configurable: timers default to 12-clock-per-cycle operation for backward compatibility but can be reprogrammed to 4-clock mode via CKCON register bits (CKCON.3–5); MOVX access timing is user-adjustable (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

Pinout & Package
DS80C320-QCL+ is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead configuration, pin-compatible with the 80C32 in PLCC form factor. The package supports surface-mount assembly and provides thermal and mechanical reliability for industrial temperature-grade operation (0°C to +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 22, 23) | Power supply input | +5V main supply - powers core, I/O, and peripherals; decoupling required per layout guidelines |
| GND (Pin 10) | Digital ground reference | Common return path for all digital signals - must be low-impedance and separated from analog ground if present |
| RST (Pin 20) | Active-high reset input | Schmitt-triggered input with internal pulldown - accepts external RC or pushbutton reset; no external capacitor needed |
| XTAL1 (Pin 21), XTAL2 (Pin 22) | Clock oscillator interface | Supports parallel-resonant AT-cut crystals up to 33MHz; XTAL1 accepts external clock source if crystal omitted |
| P0.0–P0.7 (Pins 32–39) | Multiplexed address/data bus | AD0–AD7 - latched by ALE; carries lower address byte during ALE high, then bidirectional data during ALE low |
| P1.0–P1.7 (Pins 2–9, 40–44) | General-purpose I/O with alternate functions | Includes T2/T2EX, RXD1/TXD1, and INT2–INT5 - enables dual serial comms and expanded interrupt handling |
| P2.0–P2.7 (Pins 24–31) | Upper address bus (A8–A15) | Provides MSB for external memory addressing - automatically driven during MOVX/MOVC; software-accessible only for MOVX @Ri |
| P3.0–P3.7 (Pins 11, 13–19) | Multifunction I/O port | Hosts RXD0/TXD0, INT0/INT1, T0/T1, WR/RD - essential for external memory read/write strobes and primary serial interface |
| EA (Pin 35) | External access enable | Must be tied LOW to execute code exclusively from external ROM - no internal program memory |
| ALE (Pin 20) | Address latch enable | Drives external latch (e.g., 74LS373) on rising edge - pulse width = 1.5 XTAL1 cycles, period = 4 XTAL1 cycles |
| PSEN (Pin 32) | Program store enable | Active-low chip enable for external ROM - pulse width = 2.25 XTAL1 cycles, asserted during opcode fetch |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Data Pointer (DPTR0/DPTR1) | Reduces 64-byte memory block move from 1869 to 1097 machine cycles - eliminates address save/restore overhead in firmware |
| Configurable MOVX Timing (CKCON.2–0) | Adjusts external data memory access from 2 to 9 machine cycles - supports mixed-speed peripherals (e.g., fast SRAM + slow UART) without glue logic |
| Power-Fail Detection & Reset | Generates early-warning interrupt before brownout and automatic hardware reset - prevents corrupted writes during supply collapse |
| Programmable Watchdog Timer | Independent timeout circuit with software-controllable period - recovers hung firmware without external components |
| Second Hardware UART (Serial Port 1) | Full-duplex interface on P1.2/P1.3 with dedicated SCON1/SBUF1 registers - enables simultaneous host/debug and device-to-device communication |
| 13-Source Interrupt Controller | Supports prioritized, edge-selectable external interrupts (INT2–INT5) plus serial/timer/power-fail events - reduces polling overhead in real-time tasks |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Legacy Equipment Retrofit |

FAQ
Is DS80C320-QCL+ pin-compatible with standard 80C32 microcontrollers?
Yes, DS80C320-QCL+ is fully pin-compatible with the 80C32 in the 44-pin PLCC package. All signal names, pin positions, and electrical characteristics align - including P0–P3 I/O, RST, XTAL1/XTAL2, ALE, PSEN, EA, VCC, and GND. This allows direct replacement in existing 80C32 PLCC designs without PCB modification.
What is the default MOVX memory access timing for DS80C320-QCL+ after reset?
After reset, DS80C320-QCL+ configures MOVX access to use three machine cycles (a "Stretch" value of 1, per CKCON.2–0 = 001b). This corresponds to a 4-clock-per-cycle core executing MOVX in 12 oscillator cycles at 25MHz - providing compatibility with common 120ns/150ns SRAM without requiring faster memory or timing adjustments.
How does the dual data pointer in DS80C320-QCL+ improve firmware efficiency?
The DS80C320-QCL+ implements two independent 16-bit data pointers (DPTR0 at 82h/83h, DPTR1 at 84h/85h), selected via the DPS bit at 86h. This allows firmware to hold source and destination addresses simultaneously - reducing a 64-byte block move from 1869 to 1097 machine cycles by eliminating repeated address reloads and saves.
Does DS80C320-QCL+ include on-chip program memory?
No, DS80C320-QCL+ contains no on-chip ROM or EPROM. It executes code exclusively from external program memory (e.g., parallel NOR Flash or EPROM) accessed via P0 and P2 address/data buses. The EA pin must be tied LOW to enable external program fetch, and PSEN provides the active-low chip enable signal.
Can DS80C320-QCL+ operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, DS80C320-QCL+ requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.25V and is specified for operation from 4.25V to 5.5V only. For 3.3V-compatible operation, consider the DS80C323-QCD+, which supports 2.7V–5.5V and shares identical peripheral functionality but is limited to 18MHz maximum clock frequency.
