Product details
Overview
PSD833F2-90JI from STMicroelectronics is a Flash in-system programmable (ISP) peripheral IC for 8-bit microcontrollers, integrating dual-bank Flash (1.5 Mbit primary + 256 Kbit secondary), 256 Kbit SRAM, 27 reconfigurable I/O ports, JTAG ISP interface, and PLD logic (3000+ gates, 16 OMCs/24 IMCs). It serves as a memory and logic expansion companion to legacy 80C51, 80C251, and 68HC11 MCUs in industrial control and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the PSD833F2-90JI datasheet, PSD833F2-90JI pinout, PSD833F2-90JI application, or PSD833F2-90JI equivalent, key selection considerations include concurrent Flash read/erase capability, page register–enabled address space expansion, PLD-based chip select decoding, and JTAG-based in-circuit programming support for legacy 8-bit systems.
Technical Context
The PSD833F2-90JI implements a tightly coupled architecture where MCU bus signals (ALE, RD, WR, PSEN, CS) directly control internal memory block selection, PLD configuration, and I/O port mode switching. Its dual-bank Flash enables background erase/write while executing code from the alternate bank - critical for field-upgradable firmware in maintenance-constrained systems.
PLD functionality is split between a Decode PLD (DPLD) handling user-defined chip select decoding and a Complex PLD (CPLD) supporting combinational and registered logic with 16 output macrocells. The integrated page register extends the 8-bit MCU's 64 KB address space by 256× via bank-switching, enabling access to up to 16 MB of combined memory resources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Primary Flash Memory | 1.5 Mbit (8 × 32K x8 uniform sectors); supports concurrent read/erase for zero-interrupt firmware updates. |
| Secondary Flash Memory | 256 Kbit (4 × 64K x8 uniform sectors); used for boot code, configuration data, or parameter storage. |
| SRAM Capacity | 256 Kbit (32K x8); provides fast, nonvolatile-accessible data buffer for real-time processing. |
| PLD Logic Density | 3000+ equivalent gates; enables custom address decoding, glue logic replacement, and state machine implementation. |
| I/O Ports | 27 reconfigurable pins; 16 configurable as open-drain for wired-OR bus interfaces or level translation. |
| Page Register | 8-bit internal register; expands MCU address space by factor of 256, enabling access beyond 64 KB limit. |
| JTAG Interface | IEEE 1149.1-compliant serial port; enables full-chip ISP without external programming hardware beyond FlashLINK cable. |
Pinout & Package
PSD833F2-90JI is housed in a 52-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package, designated by suffix 'J' per ST's part numbering scheme. This leaded, surface-mountable package supports reliable rework and high-pin-count routing in space-constrained industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply | 5 V ±10% main supply; powers all internal logic, Flash, SRAM, and I/O drivers. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for digital and PLD circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB plane. |
| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit multiplexed or non-multiplexed address bus interface compatible with 80C51/80C251/68HC11. |
| D0–D7 | Data bus | 8-bit bidirectional data path; supports byte-wide transfers to Flash, SRAM, and PLD configuration registers. |
| RD, WR, PSEN | Control signals | Standard 80C51 read/write strobes; decode memory vs. I/O accesses and enable PLD-driven chip selects. |
| CSI (PD2) | Chip select input | Active-low enable for PSD; used with DPLD outputs to generate peripheral-specific CS signals. |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG interface | IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan signals routed to Port C pins; enable in-system programming and debug visibility. |
| RESET | Reset input | Asynchronous active-low reset; initializes internal registers, disables PLD outputs, and places Flash in read mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Concurrent Flash operation | Read from one bank while erasing/writing the other - eliminates firmware update downtime in field-deployed systems. |
| Reconfigurable I/O architecture | 27 pins support MCU I/O, PLD I/O, latched address output, or special functions - reduces need for external logic. |
| Integrated page register | Enables 256× address space expansion - allows 8-bit MCUs to manage >16 MB of memory without external latch logic. |
| Dual-mode PLD | DPLD handles dynamic chip select decoding; CPLD implements user logic - replaces discrete glue logic and simplifies BOM. |
| JTAG ISP with FlashLINK | Eliminates socket-based programming; supports production-line programming and field firmware updates via low-cost USB-to-JTAG cable. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash+PLD+SRAM peripheral applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSD834F2-90JI | 2 Mbit primary Flash (vs. 1.5 Mbit); same PLD, SRAM, and pinout. | Better suited for larger firmware images or multi-application partitioning. | Select when firmware size exceeds 1.5 Mbit and board layout cannot be modified. |
| PSD853F2-90JI | Includes Turbo Bit for faster PLD propagation (3 ns vs. 5 ns); identical memory and I/O. | Required for timing-critical address decoding in high-speed 80C251 systems (>12 MHz). | Choose only if measured PLD path delay exceeds 5 ns in target timing budget. |
Compared with PSD834F2-90JI and PSD853F2-90JI, the PSD833F2-90JI offers optimal balance of memory capacity, PLD performance, and cost for mid-size 8-bit firmware deployments where Turbo timing or maximum Flash density is unnecessary.

FAQ
What MCU families does PSD833F2-90JI natively support?
The PSD833F2-90JI is explicitly designed for interoperability with 80C51, 80C251, 80C51XA, and 68HC11 microcontrollers. Its bus interface logic matches the timing and signal conventions of these architectures, including ALE-latched address capture, PSEN-controlled program memory reads, and RD/WR strobe synchronization. Application examples in ST Doc ID 7833 Rev 7 confirm functional validation on all four families.
Can the PLD logic be reprogrammed in the field?
Yes - the CPLD and DPLD blocks are fully reconfigurable via the JTAG interface without requiring device removal or voltage cycling. Configuration data is stored in the secondary Flash memory and loaded automatically at power-up. ST's FlashLINK software and compatible JTAG adapters support in-system PLD reprogramming alongside Flash and SRAM content updates.
Is the 256 Kbit SRAM battery-backed or volatile?
The 256 Kbit SRAM is volatile and requires continuous VCC to retain data. It has no built-in battery backup or nonvolatile shadowing. For persistent data storage, users must implement external battery-backed SRAM or write critical values to protected sectors of the secondary Flash memory before power-down.
Does PSD833F2-90JI support sector-level Flash protection?
Yes - the Flash Protection register (address 0x00000000, bits 0–7) enables independent write-protection for each of the 12 Flash sectors (8 primary + 4 secondary). Protection is enforced at the hardware level: attempts to program or erase a protected sector result in status flag DQ5 = 1 and automatic command abort, verified in Section 10.1 of ST Doc ID 7833 Rev 7.
