Product details
Overview
DS80C323-QND/T&R from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, low-power 80C32-compatible 8-bit microcontroller with 256 bytes of on-chip RAM, dual hardware serial ports, three 16-bit timer/counters, and 4-clock-per-machine-cycle architecture enabling single-cycle instructions in 121ns at 18MHz. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and targets industrial control, embedded instrumentation, and legacy 8051 system upgrades requiring extended temperature support.
For engineers reviewing the DS80C323-QND/T&R datasheet, DS80C323-QND/T&R pinout, DS80C323-QND/T&R application, or DS80C323-QND/T&R equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C operating range, 44-pin PLCC package, dual DPTR acceleration for memory moves, programmable MOVX stretch timing, and power-fail reset/interrupt functionality - all while maintaining 8051 software compatibility.
Technical Context
The DS80C323-QND/T&R implements a redesigned 8051 core executing instructions in 4 clocks per machine cycle (vs. 12 in standard 80C32), delivering up to 2.5× average speed improvement without code changes. Its dual data pointers (DPTR0/DPTR1) and configurable MOVX access timing (2–9 machine cycles via CKCON register) enable efficient interfacing with heterogeneous memory and peripherals.
It integrates power management features including early-warning power-fail interrupt, programmable watchdog timer, and internal power-fail reset - all accessible via dedicated SFRs. Timer/counter operation defaults to 12-clock mode for backward timing compatibility but supports 4-clock mode via CKCON bits for higher-resolution timing.

Pinout & Package
DS80C323-QND/T&R is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead geometry, designed for surface-mount assembly and thermal reliability in industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power Supply | +2.7V to +5.5V supply input - powers core and I/O; decoupling required near pin |
| GND | Ground Reference | Digital ground return - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| RST | Reset Input | Active-high Schmitt-triggered reset - internal pulldown eliminates need for external RC network |
| XTAL1 / XTAL2 | Crystal Oscillator Interface | Supports parallel-resonant AT-cut crystals up to 18MHz; XTAL1 accepts external clock source |
| P0.0–P0.7 (AD0–AD7) | Multiplexed Address/Data Bus | Low-order address/data lines - requires external latch (e.g., 74LS373) controlled by ALE |
| P1.0–P1.7 | General-Purpose I/O / Alternate Functions | Includes T2/T2EX, RXD1/TXD1, and INT2–INT5 - enables flexible peripheral routing |

| P3.0–P3.7 | General-Purpose I/O / Alternate Functions | Includes RXD0/TXD0, INT0/INT1, T0/T1, WR/RD - essential for memory and serial interface control |
| EA | External Access Control | Must be tied low - forces all program fetches from external ROM; no internal ROM present |
| ALE | Address Latch Enable | Output pulse (1.5 XTAL1 cycles) strobes P0 address LSB into external latch |
| PSEN | Program Store Enable | Active-low ROM chip select - pulses every 4 XTAL1 cycles during opcode fetch |
| WR / RD | Memory Write/Read Strobes | Control external RAM/peripheral access timing - synchronized with MOVX execution |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS80C320-QNG+ | Same pinout and feature set but rated for 33MHz max clock and 0°C to +70°C range - higher speed, narrower temp grade | Preferred for cost-sensitive commercial equipment where extended temperature is unnecessary | Select DS80C320-QNG+ only if 33MHz operation is required and ambient temperature stays within 0°C–70°C |
| AT89C51RD2-RLTUM | Atmel 8051 derivative with 64kB Flash, 1.25kB RAM, and ISP capability - no dual UART or power-fail detection | Better suited for new designs requiring in-system programming and larger code space, but lacks DS80C323-QND/T&R's industrial safety features | Choose AT89C51RD2-RLTUM for prototyping or low-volume production where Flash reprogrammability outweighs power-fail resilience |
Compared with DS80C320-QNG+, DS80C323-QND/T&R trades maximum clock speed for wider temperature range and lower voltage operation - making it superior for harsh environments. Compared with AT89C51RD2-RLTUM, it offers deterministic power-fail response and dual UARTs at the expense of on-chip Flash, favoring mission-critical industrial deployments over flexible development.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DS80C323-QND/T&R?
The DS80C323-QND/T&R supports a maximum crystal frequency of 18MHz, enabling single-cycle instruction execution in 121ns. This frequency is guaranteed across its full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage, making it suitable for timing-critical industrial applications where thermal stability is essential. The DS80C323-QND/T&R does not support frequencies above 18MHz, even at room temperature.
Does the DS80C323-QND/T&R include on-chip program memory?
No, the DS80C323-QND/T&R does not contain on-chip ROM or Flash memory. It relies entirely on external program memory accessed via the multiplexed P0 address/data bus and P2 high-order address lines. The EA pin must be tied low to enable external program fetches. This architecture mirrors the original 80C32 and allows designers to select appropriate EPROM, EEPROM, or NOR Flash devices based on code size and update requirements - a key consideration for the DS80C323-QND/T&R's use in field-upgradable systems.
How does the dual data pointer feature improve performance in the DS80C323-QND/T&R?
The DS80C323-QND/T&R implements two independent 16-bit data pointers (DPTR0 at 82h/83h and DPTR1 at 84h/85h), selected via the DPS bit at SFR 86h. This eliminates the need to save and restore address registers during memory block transfers. For example, a 64-byte move executes in 1097 machine cycles instead of 1869 - a 41% reduction - directly accelerating firmware updates, display buffering, and communication protocol framing in the DS80C323-QND/T&R.
Can the DS80C323-QND/T&R operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the DS80C323-QND/T&R is fully specified to operate from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with standard 3.3V logic systems. At 3.3V, it maintains full functionality including 18MHz operation, dual UARTs, and all interrupt sources. This voltage flexibility allows direct interfacing with 3.3V sensors, transceivers, and level-shift-free communication with modern peripherals - a critical advantage of the DS80C323-QND/T&R in mixed-voltage industrial designs.
What packaging and lead finish does the DS80C323-QND/T&R use?
The DS80C323-QND/T&R is supplied in a 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead geometry and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (denoted by the '+' suffix in DS80C323-QND+). The PLCC package provides robust mechanical mounting, excellent thermal dissipation for industrial ambient temperatures, and compatibility with standard surface-mount reflow profiles. This specific variant - DS80C323-QND/T&R - is tape-and-reel packaged for automated assembly, ensuring consistent placement accuracy in high-volume manufacturing of DS80C323-QND/T&R-based systems.
