Product details
Overview
PSD835G2-70U from STMicroelectronics is a programmable system device (PSD) integrating 4 Mbit + 256 Kbit dual Flash memory, 64 Kbit SRAM, CPLD/DPLD logic (3000+ gates), and 52 reconfigurable I/O ports - all in a single LQFP80 package for 8-bit MCU systems. It supports concurrent read/erase/write operations, in-system programming via JTAG, and page register–based address expansion. Used in legacy industrial controllers and embedded instrumentation requiring nonvolatile code storage, local logic customization, and memory-mapped peripheral interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the PSD835G2-70U datasheet, PSD835G2-70U pinout, PSD835G2-70U application, or PSD835G2-70U equivalent, key selection considerations include Flash bank concurrency, PLD macrocell count (16 OMCs + 24 IMCs), 70 ns memory access timing at 5 V, JTAG ISP capability, and compatibility with 80C51/80C251/68HC11 buses.
Technical Context
The PSD835G2-70U implements a tightly coupled architecture where Flash, SRAM, and PLD blocks share a unified 8-bit MCU bus interface with configurable chip select decoding. Its dual-bank Flash enables simultaneous execution from one bank while reprogramming the other - critical for firmware updates without system halt.
Two distinct PLD subsystems coexist: a user-configurable Decode PLD (DPLD) for internal chip select generation, and a Complex PLD (CPLD) with 16 output macrocells (OMCs) and 24 input macrocells (IMCs) supporting combinatorial and registered logic. The integrated page register extends the MCU's 16-bit address space by 8-bit page selection, enabling up to 16 MB of effective memory mapping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Architecture | Dual-bank Flash (4 Mbit primary + 256 Kbit secondary) + 64 Kbit SRAM - enables concurrent read/erase/write for zero-downtime firmware updates. |
| Access Time | 70 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - guarantees deterministic timing for 8-bit MCUs running ≤14 MHz with wait-state–free operation. |
| PLD Capacity | 3000+ equivalent gates; 16 OMCs + 24 IMCs - sufficient for glue logic replacement, address decoding, and custom peripheral control in compact designs. |
| I/O Count | 52 individually configurable pins - supports mixed-mode usage: MCU data/address lines, PLD I/O, latched address outputs, and JTAG signals on Port E. |
| Programming Interface | JTAG-compliant ISP port - allows full-chip in-system programming using low-cost FlashLINK cable; eliminates need for socketed programming fixtures. |
| Power Management | Standby current ≤50 µA; Automatic Power-down (APD) unit - extends battery life in intermittently active embedded systems. |
| Data Retention | 15 years - ensures long-term reliability for firmware and configuration data in unattended industrial deployments. |
Pinout & Package
LQFP80 (U) package: 80-pin, 12 × 12 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin assignments conform to STMicroelectronics' PSD835G2 pinout specification (Rev 5, Appendix A).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power supply / Ground | Single 5 V ±10% supply; dedicated power/ground pairs per quadrant reduce noise coupling in mixed-signal operation. |
| A0–A15, D0–D7 | Address/Data bus | Standard 8-bit multiplexed or non-multiplexed interface compatible with 80C51, 80C251, and 68HC11 families. |
| RD, WR, CS, OE, WE | Control signals | Configurable active-low strobes; support both standard and custom timing modes via internal register settings. |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG ISP interface | Located on Port E pins (PE0–PE3); enable boundary-scan testing and full-chip reprogramming without MCU involvement. |
| RESET | Asynchronous reset input | Active-low signal that initializes Flash state machines, PLD registers, and I/O direction controls - synchronized to internal clock domain. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Concurrent Flash Operation | Read from primary bank while erasing/writing secondary bank - eliminates firmware update stalls in real-time control loops. |
| Page Register Address Expansion | 8-bit internal page register multiplies 64 KB MCU address space by 256 → 16 MB effective addressing - replaces external latch logic. |
| PLD Flexibility | DPLD handles chip-select decoding; CPLD implements custom logic - both configured via JTAG, enabling late-stage hardware changes without PCB revision. |
| Open-Drain I/O Support | 52 ports configurable as open-drain - permits wired-AND bus arbitration, level translation, and direct connection to legacy peripherals like I²C or interrupt lines. |
| Flash Endurance | 100,000 erase/write cycles - supports field-upgradable firmware in devices deployed for >10 years with frequent OTA updates. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable system device applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSD813F2-70U | Smaller memory (2 Mbit + 128 Kbit Flash, 32 Kbit SRAM); same PLD structure and pinout. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs with reduced firmware footprint and fewer configuration parameters. | Select when total memory requirement is <3 Mbit and BOM cost optimization is prioritized over future firmware scalability. |
| PSD834F2-70U | Same memory size but lacks secondary Flash bank - single 4 Mbit Flash only; no concurrent operation capability. | Applicable where firmware updates occur only during maintenance windows and runtime continuity is not required. | Choose only if dual-bank Flash concurrency is unnecessary and legacy design reuse mandates identical PLD resources without added complexity. |
Compared with PSD835G2-70U, PSD813F2-70U trades memory capacity for lower unit cost, while PSD834F2-70U sacrifices concurrent Flash operation - making PSD835G2-70U the sole option supporting live firmware updates in resource-constrained 8-bit systems.

FAQ
Is PSD835G2-70U still in production?
No - PSD835G2-70U is marked as Obsolete by STMicroelectronics (per Rev 5 datasheet cover). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers controlled-life supply support, including last-time buy coordination and cross-reference assistance for migration paths.
What development tools are required for programming?
PSDsoft™ software (v3.x or later) is mandatory for configuring PLD logic, generating Flash images, and setting register maps. Programming requires a JTAG interface - ST's FlashLINK cable (or compatible IEEE 1149.1-compliant adapter) connected to a Windows PC running PSDsoft™.
Can the PLD logic be reconfigured independently of Flash contents?
Yes - the CPLD and DPLD logic are stored in dedicated configuration Flash sectors and can be updated separately from application code. PSDsoft™ allows incremental PLD bitstream downloads without erasing primary Flash firmware or SRAM data.
Does it support 3.3 V operation?
No - PSD835G2-70U is specified only for 5 V ±10% operation (4.5–5.5 V). Its I/Os are not 3.3 V tolerant; interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs requires level-shifting circuitry or voltage translators on address/data/control lines.
