Product details
Overview
PSD835G2-90U 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 for legacy 80C51/80C251/68HC11 platforms.
For engineers reviewing the PSD835G2-90U datasheet, PSD835G2-90U pinout, PSD835G2-90U application, or PSD835G2-90U equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-bank Flash concurrency, PLD-based chip select decoding, JTAG ISP capability, and 5 V±10% operation with 90 ns memory access timing.
Technical Context
The PSD835G2-90U implements a tightly coupled architecture where Flash, SRAM, and PLD blocks share a unified 8-bit MCU bus interface with configurable sector protection, suspend/resume erase, and data polling/toggle status flags. Its memory subsystem includes uniform 64 KB primary Flash sectors and four 64 KB secondary Flash sectors, enabling firmware partitioning and field updates without halting execution.
The integrated PLD comprises two independent units: a 16-output macrocell CPLD for glue logic and I/O control, and a user-configurable DPLD for internal chip select decoding - both supporting reprogrammability and synchronized with the MCU's RD/WR strobes and address latching modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Configuration | 4 Mbit primary Flash (8 × 64 KB sectors) + 256 Kbit secondary Flash (4 × 64 KB sectors) + 64 Kbit SRAM - enables concurrent read/erase/write across banks for real-time firmware update. |
| Access Time | 90 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - defines maximum MCU bus clock rate for reliable read/write cycles without wait states. |
| PLD Capacity | Over 3000 equivalent gates with 16 OMCs and 24 IMCs - supports custom address decoding, peripheral enable logic, and I/O direction control without external glue logic. |
| JTAG ISP Support | Fully compliant IEEE 1149.1 interface with FlashLINK cable compatibility - eliminates need for dedicated programming hardware during manufacturing or field service. |
| Power Management | Standby current ≤ 50 µA and Automatic Power-down (APD) unit - extends battery life in low-duty-cycle embedded controllers. |
| I/O Flexibility | 52 individually configurable pins supporting MCU I/O, PLD I/O, latched address output, or open-drain mode - simplifies board layout and reduces external level-shifting components. |
| Data Retention | 15 years minimum for Flash and PLD configuration - ensures long-term reliability in industrial temperature-grade applications. |

| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG Interface | Enable full-chip in-system programming and boundary-scan testing via Port E pins (E0–E3). |
| CSI (PD2) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal for PSD memory mapping; used by DPLD to generate internal CS signals for peripherals. |
| PE4 (Ready/Busy) | Status Output | Indicates Flash programming/erase completion or busy state; used for polling-based synchronization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-bank Flash concurrency | Enables simultaneous READ from one bank while ERASE/WRITE executes in the other - critical for fail-safe firmware upgrades. |
| Page register (256× address expansion) | Extends 16-bit MCU address space to 24-bit range using software-controlled page latch - eliminates need for external address multiplexers. |
| PLD-based chip select decoding | DPLD block generates up to 8 independent chip selects from decoded address bits - replaces discrete logic for peripheral interfacing. |
| In-application programming (IAP) | Allows Flash reprogramming during MCU runtime via dedicated command sequences - supports over-the-air update mechanisms. |
| Open-drain I/O configuration | 52 pins support open-drain mode with programmable pull-up - enables wired-AND bus arbitration and I²C-compatible signaling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable memory + logic integration applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSD813F2-90U | Smaller memory: 2 Mbit + 128 Kbit Flash, 32 Kbit SRAM; same PLD architecture and pinout. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs with reduced firmware footprint and fewer peripherals. | Select when total memory requirement is ≤2.128 Mbit and BOM cost optimization is prioritized over future scalability. |
| PSD833G2-90U | Identical memory size and PLD capacity but lacks secondary Flash bank - no concurrent erase/write capability. | Applicable where firmware updates occur only during maintenance windows, not real-time operation. | Choose only if dual-bank concurrency is unnecessary and legacy design reuse mandates identical feature set minus secondary Flash. |
Compared with PSD835G2-90U, PSD813F2-90U trades memory headroom for lower unit cost, while PSD833G2-90U sacrifices concurrent Flash operation - making PSD835G2-90U the sole option supporting live firmware patching in resource-constrained 8-bit systems.

FAQ
Is PSD835G2-90U still in production?
No - PSD835G2-90U is marked "Obsolete Product(s)" in STMicroelectronics' official documentation (Rev 5, Feb 2009). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers extended lifecycle support including cross-reference assistance and last-time-buy planning for ongoing production programs.
What development tools are required for programming?
PSD835G2-90U requires ST's PSDsoft™ design suite (v3.x or later) for PLD configuration, memory mapping, and JTAG programming. Hardware interface uses the FlashLINK cable (ST part number FLK-CBL) connected to a standard PC parallel port or USB-to-parallel adapter with compatible drivers.
Can it interface directly with an 80C51 without address latching?
Yes - the PSD835G2-90U supports non-multiplexed 8-bit bus mode (described in Section 16.2 of the datasheet), accepting separate AD0–AD7, A8–A15, and control signals (RD/WR/CS) - eliminating need for external address latches when paired with enhanced 80C51 variants like 80C51XA.
How is Flash sector protection configured?
Flash sector protection is controlled via dedicated status registers (address offsets 0x0000–0x0003) accessible through the MCU bus. Each 64 KB sector has individual lock bits; protection is enabled/disabled using specific unlock sequences and verified via Read Sector Protection Status instruction (see Section 7.5).
