Product details
Overview
P80C31SFAA,512 from Philips Semiconductors is a ROMless 8-bit microcontroller based on the 8051 architecture, featuring 128 × 8 RAM, four 8-bit I/O ports (32 total lines), three 16-bit counter/timers, and a full-duplex UART with framing error detection. It operates across 2.7 V–5.5 V at up to 16 MHz and supports idle and power-down modes for low-power embedded control in industrial monitoring and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the P80C31SFAA,512 datasheet, P80C31SFAA,512 pinout, P80C31SFAA,512 application, or P80C31SFAA,512 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +85°C temperature rating, PLCC-44 package, static CMOS design enabling zero-frequency operation, and compatibility with standard 8051 development tools and instruction set.
Technical Context
The P80C31SFAA,512 implements a static 80C51 core with full Boolean processing capability and dual data pointers. Its memory addressing supports up to 64 KB external program memory and 64 KB external data memory via multiplexed Port 0 (AD0–AD7) and Port 2 (A8–A15).
It integrates a six-source, four-priority nested interrupt system with level- and edge-triggered options (INT0/INT1), programmable clock-out on P1.0 (61 Hz–4 MHz at 16 MHz oscillator), and Timer 2 configured for capture, auto-reload, or baud-rate generation - independent of Timer 0/1 for flexible serial communication timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | 8051-compatible 8-bit CISC with Boolean processor and 12-clock-per-instruction cycle |
| RAM Size | 128 × 8 bytes on-chip RAM - sufficient for small real-time control stacks and data buffers without external SRAM |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V logic and legacy 5 V systems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 16 MHz - delivers 1.33 MIPS throughput; supports crystal, ceramic resonator, or external clock input |
| Power Modes | Idle mode (CPU halted, peripherals active) and power-down mode (oscillator stopped, RAM retained down to 2.0 V) |
| Interrupt System | Six sources (INT0, INT1, T0, T1, RI/TI, TF2), four priority levels, and vectorized service - suitable for deterministic response in motor control |
| Serial Interface | Full-duplex UART with automatic address recognition, framing error detection, and dual baud-rate sources (Timer 1 or Timer 2) |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), 44-pin, SOT187-2 footprint, lead-free compatible per manufacturer specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the P80C31SFAA,512?
The P80C31SFAA,512 is rated for a maximum operating frequency of 16 MHz at 2.7 V–5.5 V supply. This corresponds to a throughput of approximately 1.33 million instructions per second (MIPS) under standard 12-clock-per-instruction execution. The device's static CMOS design permits operation down to 0 Hz, enabling ultra-low-power stop-clock modes without data loss.
Does the P80C31SFAA,512 include on-chip program memory?
No, the P80C31SFAA,512 is a ROMless microcontroller. It contains 128 × 8 bytes of on-chip RAM but no internal program memory. Code execution must occur from external EPROM or Flash memory mapped to the 64 KB program space, accessed via PSEN and the multiplexed Port 0/Port 2 address/data bus.
How does the P80C31SFAA,512 support low-power operation?
The P80C31SFAA,512 supports two software-selectable low-power modes: Idle mode halts the CPU while preserving RAM, timers, UART, and interrupts; Power-down mode stops the oscillator entirely, retaining RAM contents down to 2.0 V. Wake-up from Power-down is enabled via external interrupt (INT0/INT1) or hardware reset - both fully supported on the P80C31SFAA,512.
What package type is used for the P80C31SFAA,512?
The P80C31SFAA,512 uses a 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated SOT187-2. It features a square body with J-leads, supports surface-mount assembly, and is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C - matching the "F" temperature grade indicated in the part number suffix.
Can the P80C31SFAA,512 generate a precise clock output?
Yes, the P80C31SFAA,512 can generate a precise 50% duty-cycle clock output on P1.0 using Timer 2 in clock-out mode. At 16 MHz operation, the output frequency ranges from 61 Hz to 4 MHz, determined by the reload values in RCAP2H/RCAP2L. This feature is confirmed in the official Philips datasheet and requires configuring T2CON and T2MOD registers - no external components are needed.
