Product details
Overview
PSD834F2-90MI from STMicroelectronics is a Flash in-system programmable (ISP) peripheral for 8-bit microcontrollers, integrating dual-bank Flash (1 Mbit primary + 256 Kbit secondary), 256 Kbit SRAM, 27 reconfigurable I/O ports, JTAG-based ISP, and PLD logic (3000+ gates, 16 OMCs/24 IMCs). It serves as a memory expansion and glue-logic replacement in legacy 80C51, 80C251, and 68HC11 systems.
For engineers reviewing the PSD834F2-90MI datasheet, PSD834F2-90MI pinout, PSD834F2-90MI application, or PSD834F2-90MI equivalent, key selection factors include concurrent Flash read/erase capability, page register–enabled 256× address space expansion, PLD-configurable chip select decoding, and 5 V operation with ECOPACK® TQFP64 packaging.
Technical Context
The PSD834F2-90MI implements a tightly coupled architecture where MCU bus interface signals (ALE, RD, WR, CS) directly control Flash/SRAM access timing and PLD configuration. Its dual-bank Flash enables background erase/write while executing code from the alternate bank - critical for field-upgradable firmware in industrial controllers.
PLD functionality is split between a Decode PLD (DPLD) handling user-defined chip select generation and a Complex PLD (CPLD) supporting synchronous/asynchronous macrocell operations with Turbo Bit acceleration. The JTAG port provides full boundary-scan and in-system programming without requiring external high-voltage signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Primary Flash Memory | 1 Mbit (8 × 128 Kbit uniform sectors); supports sector erase, bulk erase, and suspend/resume operations. |
| Secondary Flash Memory | 256 Kbit (4 × 64 Kbit uniform sectors); independent erase/write from primary bank for data logging or parameter storage. |
| SRAM Capacity | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8); battery-backed or volatile operation; accessible via same MCU bus interface as Flash. |
| I/O Ports | 27 reconfigurable pins; 16 support open-drain mode; configurable as MCU I/O, PLD I/O, latched address outputs, or special function signals. |
| PLD Logic | 3000+ equivalent gates; CPLD with 16 output macrocells (OMCs) and 24 input macrocells (IMCs); DPLD for internal chip select decoding. |
| Page Register | 8-bit internal register enabling 256× expansion of MCU address space; eliminates need for external address latches in extended memory maps. |
| JTAG Interface | IEEE 1149.1-compliant serial port; enables full-chip ISP, boundary-scan testing, and real-time register access during system operation. |
Pinout & Package
PSD834F2-90MI is housed in a 64-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, ECOPACK®-compliant lead-free finish. Pin assignments follow STMicroelectronics' TQFP64 mechanical specification (Doc ID 7833 Rev 7, Appendix C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit multiplexed or non-multiplexed address bus interface; compatible with 80C51, 80C251, and 68HC11 addressing modes. |
| D0–D7 | Data bus | 8-bit bidirectional data path; supports byte enable (BE) control for partial writes to Flash/SRAM. |
| RD, WR, ALE, CS | Bus control | Standard 8-bit MCU control signals; RD/WR timing aligns with 90 ns access requirement; CS enables device selection. |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG interface | Boundary-scan and ISP signals routed to Port C pins (PC0–PC3); no external pull-ups required per JTAG spec. |
| P0A–P3D | Reconfigurable I/O | 27 total I/Os across Ports A–D; each pin individually configurable via PCR/DDR registers for direction, drive strength, and function mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Concurrent Flash operation | Read from one Flash bank while erasing/writing the other - enables zero-downtime firmware updates in embedded systems. |
| Page register address extension | Expands 16-bit MCU address space to 24-bit (64 MB) using internal 8-bit page register - reduces external logic count in memory-mapped designs. |
| PLD-based chip select decoding | DPLD allows user-defined decoding of address/control signals into up to 16 chip selects - replaces discrete logic or CPLDs in legacy MCU systems. |
| JTAG in-system programming | Eliminates need for UV erasers or high-voltage programmers; supports production-line programming via low-cost FlashLINK cable and PC host. |
| Programmable power management | Automatic Power-down (APD) unit triggers sleep mode after configurable idle time; reduces active current from 60 mA to 100 µA typical. |
