The PSD family of memory systems for microcontrollers (MCUs) brings In-System-Programmability
(ISP) to Flash memory and programmable logic.
The result is a simple and flexible solution for embedded designs. PSD dev ices combine many of
the peripheral functions found in MCU based applications.
The CPLD in the PSD devices features an optimized macrocell logic architecture. The PSD macrocell was created to address the unique
requirements of embedded system designs. It allows direct connection between the system address/data bus, and the internal PSD registers, to
simplify communication between the MCU and
other supporting devices.
The PSD device includes a JTAG Serial Programming interface, to allow In-System Programming
(ISP) of the
velopment time, simplifies the manufacturing flow,
and dramatically lowers the cost of field upgrades.
Using ST’s special Fast-JTAG programming, a design can be rapidly programmed into the PSD in as
little as seven seconds.
The innovative PSD family solves key problems
faced by designers when managing discrete Flash
memory devices, such as:
entire device
. This feature reduces de-
PSD834F2V
– First-time In-System Programming (ISP)
– Complex address decoding
– Simulataneou s read and write to the device.
The JTAG Serial Interface block allows In-System
Programming (ISP), and e liminates the need for
an external Boot EPROM, or an external programmer. To simplify Flash memory updates, program
execution is performed from a secondary Flash
memory while the primary Flash memory is being
updated. This solution avoids the complicated
hardware and software overhead necessary to implement IAP.
ST makes available a software devel opment tool,
PSDsoft Express, that generates ANSI -C compliant code for use with your target M CU. T his c ode
allows you to manipulate the non-v olatile me mory
(NVM) within the PSD. Code exam ples are also
provided for:
– Flash memory IAP via the UART of the host
MCU
– Memory paging to execute code across several
PSD memory pages
– Loading, reading, and manipulation of PSD
macrocells by the MCU.

PSD ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
PSD devices contain several major functional
blocks. Figur e 2 shows the architect ure of the PSD
device family. The functions of each block are described briefly in the following sections. Many of
the blocks perform multiple functions and are user
configurable.
Memory
Each of the memory blocks is briefly discussed in
the following paragraphs. A more detailed discus-
sion can be found in the section entitled “Memory
Blocks“ on page 15.
The 2 Mbit (256K x 8) Flash m emory is the primary
memory of the PSD. It is divided into 8 equallysized sectors that are individually selectable.
The 256 Kbit (32K x 8) se condary Flash memory
is divided into 4 equally-sized sectors. Each sector
is individually selectable.
The 64 Kbit SRAM is intended for use as a
scratch-pad memory or as an extension to the
MCU SRAM. If an external battery is connected to
Voltage Stand-by (VSTBY, PC2), data is retained
in the event of power failure.
Each sector of mem ory c an be l oc ated in a dif ferent address space as defined by the user. The access times for all memory types includes the
address latching and DPLD decoding time.
Page Re gi st er
The 8-bit Page Register expands the address
range of the MCU by up to 256 times. The paged
address can be used as part of the address space
to access external memory and peripherals, or internal memory and I/O. The Page Register can
also be used to change the address mapping of
sectors of the Flash memories into different memory spaces for IAP.
PLDs
The device contains tw o PLDs, the Decode PLD
(DPLD) and the Complex PLD (CPLD), as shown
in Table 1, each op timized for a di fferent fun ction.
The functional partitioning of the PLDs reduces
power consumption, optimizes cost/performance,
and eases design entry.
Table 1. PLD I/O
NameInputsOutputs
Decode PLD (DPLD)731742
Complex PLD (CPLD)7319140
The DPLD is used to decode addresses and to
generate Sector Select signals for the PSD internal memory and regis ters. The DPLD has combinatorial outputs. The CPLD has 16 Output
Macrocells (OMC) and 3 combinatorial outputs.
Product
Terms
The PSD also has 24 Input Macrocells (IMC) that
can be configured as inputs to the PLDs. The
PLDs receive their inputs from the PLD Input Bus
and are differentiated by their output destinations,
number of product terms, and macrocells.
The PLDs consume minimal power. The speed
and power consumption of the PLD i s controlled
by the Turbo bit in PMMR0 and other bits in the
PMMR2. These registers are set by the MCU at
run-time. There is a slight penalty to PLD propagation time when invoking the power m anagement
features.
I/O Po r t s
The PSD has 27 individually configurable I/O pins
distributed over the four ports (Port A, B, C, and
D). Each I/O pin can be individually configured for
different functions. Ports can be configured as
standard MCU I/O ports, PLD I/O, or latched address outputs for MCUs using multiplexed address/data buses.
The JTAG pins can be enabled on Po rt C for InSystem Programming (ISP).
Ports A and B can also be conf igured as a data
port for a non-multiplexed bus.
MCU Bus Interface
PSD interfaces easily with most 8-bit MCUs that
have either multiplexed or non-multiplexed address/data buses. The device is configured to respond to the MCU’s control signals, which are also
used as inputs to the PLDs. For examples, please
see the section entitled “MCU Bus Interface Examples“ on page 39.
In-System Programming (ISP) can be pe rformed
through the JTAG signals on Port C. This serial interface allows complete programming of the entire
PSD device. A blank device can be completely
programmed. The JTAG signals (TMS, TCK,
TSTAT
, TERR, TDI, TDO) can be multiplexed with
other functions on Port C. Table 2 indicates the
JTAG pin assignments.
8/89
PSD834F2V
In-System Progr a mming (ISP)
Using the JTAG signals on Port C, the entire PSD
device can be programmed or erased wit hout the
use of the MCU. The primary Flash memory can
also be programmed in-system by the M CU executing the programming algorithms out of the secondary memory, or SRAM. The secondary
memory can be programmed the same way by executing out of the primary Flash memory. The PLD
or other PSD Configuration blocks can be programmed through the J TAG port or a de vice programmer. Table 3 indicates which programming
methods can program different functional blo cks
of the PSD.
Table 3. Methods of Programming Different Functional Blocks of the PSD
The Power Management Unit (PMU) gives the
user control of the power consumption on selected
functional blocks based on system req uirements.
The PMU includes an Automatic Power-down
(APD) Unit that turns off device functions during
MCU inactivity. The APD Unit has a Power-down
mode that helps reduce power consumption.
The PSD also has some bits that are configured at
run-time by the MCU to reduce power consumption of the CPLD. The Turbo bit in PMMR0 can be
reset to 0 and the CPLD l atches its outputs and
goes to sleep until the next transition on its inputs.
Additionally, bits in PMMR2 can be set by the
MCU to block signals from entering the CPLD t o
reduce power consumption. Please s ee the sec-
tion entitled “Power Management” on page 55 for
more details.

DETAILED OPERATION
As shown in Figure 2, the PSD consists of six major types of functional blocks:
■ Memory Blo c k s
■ PLD Bl o c ks
■ MCU Bus Interface
■ I/O Por ts
■ Power Management Unit (PMU)
■ JTAG In te rfac e
The functions of ea ch block are described i n the
following sections. Many of the blocks perform
multiple functions, and are user configurable.
MEMORY BLOCKS
The PSD has the following memory blocks:
– Primary Flash memory
– Secondary Flash memory
–SRAM
The Memory Select signals for these blocks origi-
nate from the Decode PLD (DPLD) an d are userdefined in PSDsoft Express.
Primary Flash Memory and Secondary Flash
memory Description
The primary Flash memory is divided evenly into
eight equal sectors. The secondary Flash memory
is divided into four e qual sectors. Each sector of
either memory block can be sepa rately protected
from Program and Erase cycles.
Flash memory may be erased on a sector-by-sector basis. Flash sector erasure may be suspended
while data is read from other sectors of the block
and then resumed after reading.
During a Program or Erase cycle in Flash memory,
the status can be output on Ready/Busy
(PC3).
This pin is set up using PSDsoft Express Configuration.
Memory Block Select Signals
The DPLD generates the Select signals for all the
internal memory blocks (see the section entitled
“PLDs”, on page 27). Each of the eigh t sectors of
the primary Flash memory has a Select signal
PSD834F2V
(FS0-FS7) which can contain up t o three product
terms. Each of the four sectors of the secondary
Flash memory has a Select signal (CSBOOT0CSBOOT3) which can contain up to three product
terms. Having three product terms for each Select
signal allows a given sector to be mapped in different areas of system memory. When using a MCU
with separate Program and Data space, these
flexible Select signals allow dynamic re-mapping
of sectors from one memory space to the other.
Ready/Busy
output the Ready/Busy
put on Ready/Busy
memory is being written to,
is being erased. The output is a 1 (Ready) when
no Write or Erase cycle is in progress.
Memory Operation. The primary Flash memory
and secondary Flash memory are addressed
through the MCU Bus Interface. The MCU can access these memories in one of two ways:
■ The MCU can execute a typical bus Write or
Read
RAM or ROM device using standard bus cycles.
■ The MCU can execute a specific instruction that
consists of several Write and Read operations.
This invo lv es writ in g specific da ta pat t er ns to
special addresses within the Flash memory to
invoke an embedded algorithm. These
instructions are summarized in Table 7.
Typically, the MCU can read Flash memory using
Read operations, just as it would read a ROM device. However, Flash memory can only b e altered
using specific Erase and Program instructions. For
example, the MCU cannot write a single byte directly to Flash memory as it would write a by te to
RAM. To program a byte into F lash memory, t he
MCU must execute a Program instruction, then
test the status of the Program cycle. This status
test is achieved by a Read operation or polling
Ready/Busy
Flash memory can also be read by using special
instructions to retrieve particular F lash device information (sector protect status and ID).

INSTRUCTIONS
An instruction consists of a sequence of specific
operations. Each received byte is sequentially decoded by the PSD and not executed as a standard
Write operation. The instruction is e xecuted when
the correct number of bytes are properly received
and the time between two consecutive bytes is
shorter than the time-out period. Some instructions are structured to include Read operations after the initial Write operations.
The instruction must be followe d exactly. Any invalid combination of instruction bytes or time-out
between two consecutive byte s while addressing
Flash memory resets the device logic into Read
mode (Flash memory is read like a ROM device).
The PSD supports the instructions sum ma riz ed in
Table 7:
Flash memory:
■ Erase memory by chip or sector
■ Suspend or resume sector erase
■ Program a Byte
■ Reset to Read mode
■ Read primary Flash Identifier value
■ Read Sector Protection Status
■ Bypass
These instructio ns are det ailed i n Table 7. For e fficient decoding of the instructions, the first two
bytes of an instruction are the c oded cycles and
are followed by an instruction byte or confirmation
byte. The coded cycles consist of writing the data
AAh to address X555h during the first cycle and
data 55h to address XAAAh during th e se cond cy-
cle. Address signals A15-A12 are Don’t Care during the instruction Write cycles. However, the
appropriate Sector Select (FS0-FS7 or
CSBOOT0-CSBOOT 3 ) must be selected.
The primary and secondary Flash memories have
the same instruction set (except for Read Primary
Flash Identifier). The Sector Select signals determine which Flash memory is to receive and execute the instruction. The primary Flash memory is
selected if any one of Sector Select (FS0-FS7) is
High, and the secondary Flash memory is selected
if any one of Sector Select (CSBOOT0CSBOOT3) is High.
Power-do wn Instruction and Power- up Mode
Power-up Mode. The PSD internal logic is reset
upon Power-up to the Read mode. S ector Select
(FS0-FS7 and CSBOOT0-CSBOOT3) must be
held Low, and Write Strobe (WR
, CNTL0) High,
during Power-up for maximum security of the data
contents and to remove the possibility of a byte being written on the first edge of Write Strobe (WR

READ
Under typical conditions, the MCU may read t he
primary Flash memory or the secondary Flash
memory using Read operations just as it would a
ROM or RAM device. Alternately, the MCU may
use Read operations to obtain status informat ion
about a Program or Erase cycle that is currently in
progress. Lastly, the MCU may use instructions to
read special data from these memory blocks. The
following sections describe these Read functions.
Read Memory Contents. Prima ry Flash memo ry
and secondary Flash memory are placed in the
Read mode after Power-up, chip reset, or a Reset
Flash instruction (see Table 7). The MCU can read
the memory contents of the primary Flash memory
or thesecondary Flash memory by using Read operations any time the Read operation is not part of
an instruction.
Read Primary Flash Identifier. The primary
Flash memory identifier is read with an instruction
composed of 4 operations: 3 specific Write operations and a Read operation (see T able 7). During
the Read operation, address bits A6, A1, and A0
must be 0,0,1, respectively, and the appropriate
Sector Select (FS0-FS 7) m ust be High. The identifier for the device is E7h.
Read Memory Sector Protection Status. The
primary Flash memory Sector Protection Status is
read with an instruction composed of 4 operations:
3 specific Write operations and a Read operation
(see Table 7). During the Read operation, address
bits A6, A1, and A0 must be 0,1,0, respectively,
while Sector Select (FS0-FS7 or CSBOOT0CSBOOT3) designates the Flash memory sector
whose protection has to be verified. The Read operation produces 01h if the Flash memory sector is
protected, or 00h if the sector is not protected.
The sector protection status for all NVM blocks
(primary Flash memory or secondary Flash memory) can also b e read by the MCU accessing the
Flash Protection registers in PSD I/O space. See
the section entitled “Flash Memory Sector Protect”, on page 22, for register definitions.
Reading the Erase/Program Status Bits. The
PSD provides several status bits to be used by the
MCU to confirm the completion of an Erase or Program cycle of Flash memory. These status bits
minimize the time that the MCU spends performing these tasks and are defined in Table 8. The
status bits can be read as many times as needed.
For Flash memory, the MCU can perform a Read
operation to obtain these status bits while an
,
Erase or Program instruction is being executed by
the embedded algorithm. See the section entit led
LKO
.

Data Polling Flag (DQ7). When erasing or programming in Flash memory, the Data Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit outputs the co mplem ent of the bit bei ng
entered for programming/writing on the DQ7 bit.
Once the Program instruction or the Write operation is completed, the true logic value is read on
the Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit (in a Read operation) .
■ Data Polling is effective after the fourth Write
pulse (for a Program instruction) or after the
sixth Write pulse (for an Erase instruction). It
must be performed at the address being
programmed or at an address within the Flash
memory sector being erased.
■ During an Erase cycle, the Data Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit outputs a 0. After completion of the
cycle, the Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit outputs
the last bit programmed (it is a 1 after erasing).
■ If the byte to be programmed is in a protected
Flash memory sector, the instruction is ignored.
■ If all the Flash memory sectors to be erased are
protected, the Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit is
reset to 0 for about 100 µs, and then returns to
the previous addressed byte. No erasure is
performed.
Toggle Flag ( DQ6 ). The PSD offers another way
for determining when the Flash memory Program
cycle is completed. During the internal Write operation and when either the FS0-FS7 or CSBOOT0CSBOOT3 is true, the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit toggles from 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 on subsequent attempts
to read any byte of the memory.
When the internal cycle is complete, the toggling
stops and the data read on the Data Bus D0-D7 is
the addressed mem ory byte. The device is now
accessible for a new Read or Write operation. The
cycle is finished when two successive Reads yield
the same output data.

■ If the byte to be programmed belongs to a

■ If all the Flash memory sectors selected for
erasure are protected, the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit
toggles to 0 for about 100 µs and then returns to
the previous addressed byte.
Error Flag (DQ5). During a normal Program or
Erase cycle, the Error Flag (DQ5) bit is to 0. T his
bit is set to 1 when there is a failure during Flash
memory Byte Program, Sector Erase, or Bulk
Erase cycle.
In the case of Flash memory programming, the Error Flag (DQ5) bit indicates the attempt to program
a Flash memory bit from the programmed state, 0,
to the erased state, 1, whi ch is not vali d. The Error
Flag (DQ5) bit may also indicate a Time-out condition while attempting to program a byte.
In case of an error in a Flash memory Sector Erase
or Byte Progra m cycle, the Fl ash memory sector i n
which the error occurred or to which the programmed byte belongs must no longer be used.
Other Flash memory sectors may still be used.
The Error Flag (DQ5) bit is reset after a Reset
Flash instruction.
Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3). The Erase Timeout Flag (DQ3) bit reflects the time-out period allowed between two consecutive Sec tor Erase instructions. The Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3) bit is
reset to 0 after a Sector Erase cycle for a time period of 100 µs + 20% unless an additiona l Sector
Erase instruction is decoded. After this time period, or when the additional Sector Erase instruction
is decoded, the E rase Time-out Flag (DQ3) bit is
set to 1.

PSD834F2V
Programming Flash Memory
Flash memory mus t be erased prior to bei ng programmed. A byte of Flash memory is erased to all
1s (FFh), and is programmed by setting selected
bits to 0. The MCU may erase Fl ash memory all at
once or by-sector, but not byte-by-byte. Howe ver,
the MCU may program Flash memory byte-bybyte.
The primary and secondary Flash memories require the MCU to send an instruction to program a
byte or to erase sectors (see Table 7).
Once the MCU issues a Flash memory Program or
Erase instruction, it must check for the status bits
for completion. The embedded algorithms that are
invoked inside the P S D support sev eral m eans t o
provide status to the MCU. Status may be checked
using any of three methods: Data Polling, Data
Toggle, or Ready/Busy
(PC3).
Data Polling. Polling on the Data Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit is a method of checking whether a Program or Erase cycle is in progress or has completed. Figure 4 shows the Data Polling algorithm.
When the MCU issue s a Program ins truction, the
embedded algorithm within the PSD begins. The
MCU then reads the location of the byte to be programmed in Flash memory to check status. The
Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit of this location becomes the complem ent of b7 of the original data
byte to be programmed. The MCU continues to
poll this location, comparing the Dat a Polling Fl ag
(DQ7) bit and monitoring the Error Flag (DQ5) bit.
When the Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit matches b7
of the original data, and the E rror Flag (DQ5) bit
remains 0, the embedded algorithm is complete. If
the Error Flag (DQ5) bit is 1, the MCU should test
the Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit again since the
Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit may have changed simultaneously with the Error Flag (DQ5) bit (see
Figure 4).
The Error Flag (DQ5) bit is set if either an internal
time-out occurred while the embedded algorithm
attempted to program the byte or if the MCU a ttempted to program a 1 to a bit that was not erased
(not erased is logic 0).
It is suggested (as with all Flash memories) to read
the location again after the embedded programming algorithm has completed, to compare the
byte that was written to the Flash memory with the
byte that was intended to be written.
When using the Data Polling method during an
Erase cycle, Figure 4 still applies. However, the
Data Polling Flag (DQ7) bit is 0 until the Erase cycle is complete. A 1 on the Error Flag (DQ5) bit indicates a time-out condition on the Erase cycle; a
0 indicates no error. The MCU can read any loca-
tion within the sector being erased to get the Data
Polling Flag (DQ7) bit and the Error Flag (DQ5) bit.
PSDsoft Express generates ANSI C code functions which implement these Data Polling algorithms.

Data Toggle. Checking the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit
is a method o f det erm ining whether a Pr ogram or
Erase cycle is in progress or has completed. Figure 5 shows the Data Toggle algorithm.
When the MCU issue s a Program ins truction, the
embedded algorithm within the PSD begins. The
MCU then reads the location of the byte to be programmed in Flash memory to check status. The
Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit of this location toggles each
time the MCU reads this location until the embedded algorithm is complete. The MCU cont inues t o
read this location, checking the Toggle Flag (DQ6)
bit and monitoring the Error Flag (DQ5) bit. When
the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit stops toggling (two consecutive reads yield the same value), and the Error Flag (DQ5) bit remains 0, the embedded
algorithm is complete. If the Error Flag (DQ5) bit is
1, the MCU should test the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit
again, since the Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit may have
changed simultaneously with the Error Flag (DQ5)
bit (see Figure 5).

The Error Flag (DQ5) bit is set if either an internal
time-out occurred while the embedded algorithm
attempted to program the byte, or if the MCU attempted to program a 1 to a bit that was not erased
(not erased is logic 0).
It is suggested (as with all Flash memories) to read
the location again after the embedded programming algorithm has completed, to compare the
byte that was written to Flash memory with the
byte that was intended to be written.
When using the Data Toggle method after an
Erase cycle, Figure 5 still applies. the Toggle Flag
(DQ6) bit toggles until the Erase cycle is complete.
A 1 on the Error Flag (DQ5) bit indicates a time-out
condition on the Erase cycle; a 0 indicates no error. The MCU can read any location within the sector being erased to get the To ggle Flag (DQ 6) bit
and the Error Flag (DQ5) bit.
PSDsoft Express generates ANSI C code functions which implement these Data T oggling algorithms.
Unlock Bypass. The Unlock Bypass instructions
allow the system to program bytes to the Flash
memories faster than using the standard Program
instruction. The Unloc k Bypass mode is ent ered
by first initiati ng two Unlo ck cycles. T his is fol lowed
by a third Write cycle cont aining the Unlock Bypass code, 20h (as shown in Table 7).
The Flash memory then enters the Unlock Bypass
mode. A two-cycle Unlock Bypass Program instruction is all that is required t o program in this
mode. The first cycle in this instruction contains
the Unlock Bypass Program code, A0h. The second cycle contains the program address and data.
Additional data is programmed in t he same manner. These instructions dispense with the initial
two Unlock cycles required in the standard Program instruction, resulting in faster total Flash
memory programming.
During the Unlock Bypass mode, only the Unlock
Bypass Program and Unlock Bypass Reset Flash
instructions are valid.
To exit th e Un l o ck Bypass mode, the system must
issue the t wo-cycl e Unl ock Bypass Reset Fl ash i nstruction. The first cycle must contain the data

tion uses six Write operat ion s followed by a Read
operation of the status register, as described in
Table 7. If any byte of the Bulk Erase instruction is
wrong, the Bulk Erase instruction aborts and the
device is reset to the Read Flash memory status.
During a Bulk Erase, the memory status may be
checked by reading the Error Flag (DQ5) bit, the
Toggle Flag (DQ6) bi t, and the Dat a Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit, as detailed in the section entitled “Programming Flash Memory”, on page 19. The Error
Flag (DQ5) bit returns a 1 if there has been an
Erase Failure (maximum number of Erase cycles
have been executed).
It is not necessary to program the memory with
00h because the PSD automatically does this before erasing to 0FFh.
During execution of the Bulk Erase instruction, the
Flash memory does not accept any instructions.
Flash Sector Erase. The Sector Erase instruction uses six Write operations, as described in Table 7. Additional Flash Sector Erase codes and
Flash memory sector addresses can be written
subsequently to erase other Flash memory sectors in parallel, without further coded cycles, if the
additional bytes are transm itted in a shorter time
than the time-out period of about 100 µs. The input
of a new Sector Erase code restarts the time-out
period.
The status of the internal timer can be monitored
through the level of the Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3)
bit. If the Erase Time-out Flag (DQ3) bit is 0, the
Sector Erase instruction has been received and
the time-out period is counting. If the Er ase Timeout Flag (DQ3) bit is 1, the time-out period has expired and the PSD is busy erasing the Flash mem-
20/89
PSD834F2V
ory sector(s). Before and d uring Erase time-out,
any instruction other than Suspend S ector Erase
and Resume Sector Erase instructions abort the
cycle that is currently in progress, and reset the
device to Read mode. It is not necessary to program the Flash memory sector with 00h as the
PSD does this automatically before erasing
(byte=FFh).
During a Sector Erase, the memory status may be
checked by reading the Error Flag (DQ5) bit, the
Toggle Flag (DQ6) bi t, and the Dat a Polling Flag
(DQ7) bit, as detailed in the section entitled “Programming Flash Memory”, on page 19.
During execution of the Erase cycle, the Flash
memory accepts only Reset and Suspend Sector
Erase instructions. Erasure of one Flash memory
sector may be suspended, in order to read data
from another Flash memory sector, and t hen resumed .
Suspend Sector Erase. When a Sector Erase
cycle is in progress, the Suspend Sector Erase instruction can be used to suspend the cycle by writing 0B0h to any address when an appropriate
Sector Se lect (FS0 -FS7 or CSBO OT0-CSBOOT3 )
is High. (See Table 7). This allows reading of data
from another Flash memory sector after the Erase
cycle has been suspended. Suspend Sector
Erase is accepted only during an E rase c ycle and
defaults to Read mode. A Suspe nd Sector Erase
instruction executed during an Erase time-out pe-
riod, in addition to suspending the Erase cycle, terminates the time out period.
The Toggle Flag (DQ6) bit stops toggling when the
PSD internal logic is suspended. The status of this
bit must be monitored at an address within the
Flash memory sector being erased. The Toggle
Flag (DQ6) bit stops toggling between 0.1 µs and
15 µs after the Suspend Sector Erase instruction
has been executed. The PSD is then automatically
set to Read mode.
If an Suspend Sector Erase instruction was executed, the following rules apply:
– Attempting to read from a Flash memory sector
that was being erased outputs invalid data.
not
– Reading from a Flash sector that was
erased is valid.
– The Flash memory
only responds to Resume Sector Erase and Reset Flash instructions (Read is an operation and
is allowe d) .
– If a Reset Flash instruction is received, data in
the Flash memory sector that was being erased
is invalid .
Resume Sector Erase. If a Suspend Sector
Erase instruction was previously executed, the
erase cycle may be resumed with this instruction.
The Resume Sector Eras e instruction consists of
writing 030h to any address w hile an appropriate
Sector Se lect (FS0 -FS7 or CSBO OT0-CSBOOT3 )
is High. (See Table 7.)

Specific Features
Flash Memory Sector Protect. Each primary
and secondary Flash memory sector can be separately protected against Program and Erase cycles. Sector Protection provides additional data
security because it disables all Program or Erase
cycles. This mode can be activated through the
JTAG Port or a Device Programmer.
Sector protection can be selected for each sector
using the PSDsoft Express Configuration program. This automatically protects selected sectors
when the device is programmed through the JTAG
Port or a Device Programmer. Flash memory sec-
tors can be unprotected to allow updating of their
contents using the JTAG Port or a Device Programmer. The MCU can read (but cannot change)
the sector protection bits.
Any attempt to program or erase a protected Flash
memory sector is ignored by the device. The Verify
operation results in a read of the protected data.
This allows a guarantee of the retention of the Protection status.
The sector protection status can be read by the
MCU through the Flash memory protection and
PSD/EE protection registers (in the CSIOP block).

Reset Flash. The Reset Flash instruction con-
sists of one Write cycle (see Table 7). It can also
be optionally preceded by the standard two write
decoding cycles (writing AAh to 555h and 55 h to
AAAh). It must be executed after:
– Reading the Flash Protection Status or Flash ID
– An Error condition has occurred (and the device
has set the Error Flag (DQ5) bit to 1) during a
Flash memory Program or Erase cycle.
The Reset Flash instruction puts the Flash memory back into normal Read mode. If an Error condition has occurred (and the device has set the Error
Flag (DQ5) bit to 1) the Flash memo ry is put back
into normal Read mode within 25 µ s of the Reset
Flash instruction having been issued. The Reset
Flash instruction is ignored when it is issued during a Program or Bulk Erase cycle of the Flash
memory. The Reset Flash instruction aborts any
on-going Sector Erase cycle, and returns the
Flash memory to the normal Read mode within
25 µs.
Reset (RESET
SET) aborts any cycle that is in progress, and resets the Flash memory to the Read mode. When
the reset occurs during a Program or Erase cycle,
the Flash memory takes up to 25 µ s to retur n to
the Read mode. It is recommended that the Reset
(RESET
described on page 60) be at least 25 µs so that the
Flash memory is always ready for the MCU to
fetch the bootstrap instructions after the Reset cycle is complete.
SRAM
The SRAM i s enabled when SR AM Select (RS0)
from the DPLD is High. SRAM Select (RS0) can
contain up to two prod uct terms, allow ing flexible
memory mapping.
The SRAM can be backed up usin g an external
battery. The external battery should be connected
to Voltage Stand-by (VSTBY, PC2). If you have an
external battery connected to the P SD, the contents of the SRAM are reta ined in the event of a
power loss. The contents of the SRAM are retained so long as the battery voltage remains at
2 V or greater. If the supply voltage falls below the
battery voltage, an internal power switch-over to
the battery occurs.
PC4 can be configured as an output that indicates
when power is being drawn from the external ba t-
) Signal. A pulse on Reset (RE-
) pulse (except for Power On Reset, as
tery. Battery-on Indicator (VBATON, PC4) is High
with the supply voltage falls below the battery voltage and the battery on Voltage Stand-by (VSTBY,
PC2) is supplying power to the internal SRAM.
SRAM Select (RS0), Voltage Stand-by (VSTBY,
PC2) and Battery-on Indicator (VBATON, PC4)
are all configured using PSDsoft Express Configuration.
Sector Select and SRAM Select
Sector Select (FS0-FS7, CSBOOT0-CSBOOT3)
and SRAM Select (RS0) are all outputs of the
DPLD. They are setup by writing equations for
them in PSDabel. The f oll owing rules ap ply t o t he

2. Any primary Flash memory sect or must

Flash memory sector.
3. A secondary Flash m emory sect or must

secondary Flash memory sector.
4. SRAM, I/O, and Peripheral I/O spaces must
overlap.

overlap any other memory sector. Priority is given to the SRAM, I/O, or Peripheral I/O.
Example. FS0 is valid when the address is in the
range of 8000h to BFFFh, CSBOOT0 is valid from
8000h to 9FFFh, and RS0 is valid from 8000 h to
87FFh. Any address in the range of RS0 always
accesses the SRAM. Any address in the range of
CSBOOT0 greater than 87FFh (and less than
9FFFh) automatically addresses seco ndary Flash
memory segment 0. Any address greater than
9FFFh accesses the primary Flash me mory segment 0. You can see that half of the primary Flash
memory segment 0 and one-fou rth of secondary
Flash memory segment 0 cannot be accessed in
this example. Also no te that an equation t hat defined FS1 to anywhere in the range of 8000h to

Memory Select Configuration for MCUs with
Separate Program and Data Spaces. The 8 031
and compatible family of MCUs, which includes
the 80C51, 80C151, 80C251, and 80C51XA, have
separate address spaces for Program memory
(selected using Program Select Enable (PSEN
CNTL2)) and Data memory (selected using Read
Strobe (RD
, CNTL1)). Any of the memories within
the PSD can reside in either space or both spaces.
This is controlled through manipulation of the VM
register that resides in the CSIOP space.
The VM register is set using PSDsof t Express to
have an initial value. It can subsequently be
changed by the MCU so that memory mapping
can be changed on-the-fly.
For example, you may wish to have SRAM and primary Flash memory in the Data space at Boot-up,
and secondary Flash memory in the Program
space at Boot-up, and later s wap t he primary and
secondary Flash memories. This is easily done
with the VM register by using PSDsoft Express
Configuration to configure it for Boot-up and having the MCU change it when desired.
Table 11 describes the VM Register.

Page Re gi st er
The 8-bit Page Register increases the addressing
capability of the MCU by a factor of up to 256. The
contents of the register can also be read by the
MCU. The outputs of the Page Register (PGR0PGR7) are inputs to the DPLD decoder and can be
included in the Sector Select (FS0-FS7,
CSBOOT0-CSBOOT 3), and SRAM Select (RS0)
equations.

Figure 9 shows the Page Regist er. The eight flipflops in the register are connected to the internal
data bus D0-D7. The MCU can write to or read
from the Page Register. The Page Register can be
accessed at address location CSIOP + E0h.

The PSD contains two PLDs: the Decode PLD
(DPLD), and the Complex PLD (CPLD). The PLDs
are briefly discussed in the next f ew paragraphs,
PSD834F2V
and in more detail in the sec tion entitled “Dec ode
PLD (DPLD)”, on page 29, and the section entitled
“Complex PLD (CPLD)”, also on page 30. Figure
10 shows the configuration of the PLDs.
The DPLD performs add ress decoding for Sel ect
signals for internal components, such as memory,
registers, and I/O ports.
The CPLD can be used for logic functions, such as
loadable counters and shift registers, state machines, and encoding and decoding logic. These
logic functions can be constructed using the 16
Output Macrocells (OMC), 24 Input Macrocells
(IMC), and the AND Array. The CPLD can also be
used to generate External Chip Select (ECS0ECS2) signals.
The AND Array is used to form product terms.
These product terms are specified using PSDabel.
An Input Bus consisting of 73 signals is connected
to the PLDs. The signals are shown in Table 12.
The Turbo Bit i n PSD
The PLDs in the PSD c an minimize power consumption by switching off when inputs remain unchanged for an extended time of about 70 ns.
Resetting the Turbo bit to 0 (Bit 3 of PMMR0) automatically places the PLDs into standby if no inputs are changing. Turning the Turbo mode off
increases propagation delays while reducing power consumption. See the section entitled “Power
Management”, on page 55, on how to set the Turbo bit.
Additionally, five bits are available in PMMR2 to
block MCU control signals from entering the PLDs.
This reduces power consumption and can be used
only when these MCU control signals are not used
in PLD logic equations.
Each of the two PLDs has unique characteristics
suited for its applications. They are described in
the following sections.
