DS5000FP - Soft Microprocessor Chip

Dallas-Maxim 2009/01/03 10:52

DESCRIPTION
The DS5000FP Soft Microprocessor Chip is an 8051-compatible processor based on NV RAM
technology. It is substantially more flexible than a standard 8051, yet provides full compatibility with the 8051 instruction set, timers, serial port, and parallel I/O ports. By using NV RAM instead of ROM, the user can program and then reprogram the microcontroller while in-system. The application software can even change its own operation, which allows frequent software upgrades, adaptive programs, customized systems, etc. In addition, by using NV SRAM, the DS5000FP is ideal for data-logging applications and it connects easily to a Dallas real-time clock for time stamp and date.
The DS5000FP provides the benefits of NV RAM without using I/O resources. It uses a non-multiplexed Byte-wide address and data bus for memory access. This bus can perform all memory access and provides decoded chip enables for SRAM. This leaves the 32 I/O port pins free for application use. The DS5000FP uses ordinary SRAM and battery backs the memory contents with a user’s external lithium cell. Data is maintained for over 10 years with a very small lithium cell. A DS5000FP also provides crashproof operation in portable systems or systems with unreliable power. These features include the ability to save the operating state, Power-fail Reset, Power-fail Interrupt, and Watchdog Timer.
A user loads programs into the DS5000FP via its on-chip Serial Bootstrap Loader. This function
supervises the loading of code into NV RAM, validates it, then becomes transparent to the user. Software can be stored in an 8-kbyte or 32-kbyte CMOS SRAM. Using its internal Partitioning, the DS5000FP will divide this common RAM into user programmable code and data segments. This Partition can be selected at program loading time, but can be modified anytime later. It will decode memory access to the SRAM, communicate via its Byte-wide bus and write-protect the memory portion designated as ROM.
Combining program and data storage in one device saves board space and cost. The DS5000FP can also access a second 32 kbytes of NV RAM but this area is restricted to data memory. For a user that wants a pre-constructed module using the DS5000FP, RAM, lithium cell, and optional real time clock; the DS2250(T) and DS5000(T) are available and described in separate data sheets. More details are also contained in the User’s Guide section of the Secure Microcontroller Data Book.

DS2251T - 128K Soft Microcontroller Module

Dallas-Maxim 2008/11/11 09:33

DESCRIPTION
The DS2251T is an 8051 compatible microcontroller module based on nonvolatile RAM technology. It is designed for systems that need large quantities of nonvolatile memory. Like other members of the Secure Microcontroller family, it provides full compatibility with the 8051 instruction set, timers, serial port, and parallel I/O ports. By using NVRAM instead of ROM, the user can program, then reprogram the microcontroller while in–system. The application software can even change its own operation. This allows frequent software upgrades, adaptive programs, customized systems, etc. In addition, by using NVRAM, the DS2251T is ideal for data logging applications. The powerful real time clock includes interrupts for time stamp and date. It keeps time to one hundredth of second using its on–board 32 KHz crystal.
The DS2251T provides the benefits of NVRAM without using I/O resources. Between 32K bytes and 128K bytes of on–board NVRAM are available. A non–multiplexed Byte–wide address and data bus is used for memory access. This bus, which is available at the connector, can perform all memory access and also provides decoded chip enables for off–board memory mapped peripherals. This leaves the 32 I/O port pins free for application use.
The DS2251T provides high–reliability operation in portable systems or systems with unreliable power. These features include the ability to save the operating state, Power–fail Reset, Power–fail Interrupt, and Watchdog Timer. All nonvolatile memory and resources are maintained for over 10 years at room temperature in the absence of power.
A user loads programs into the DS2251T via its on–chip Serial Bootstrap Loader. This function supervises the loading of software into NVRAM, validates it, then becomes transparent to the user. Software is stored in on–board CMOS SRAM. Using its internal Partitioning, the DS2251T can divide a common RAM into user selectable program and data segments. This Partition can be selected at program loading time, but can be modified anytime later. The microprocessor will decode memory access to the SRAM, access memory via its Byte–wide bus and write–protect the memory portion designated as program (ROM).

DS2109 - Plug and Play SCSI Terminator

Dallas-Maxim 2008/08/19 09:30

DESCRIPTION
The DS2109 is intended for one chip Plug and Play (PnP) SCSI termination.
Plug and Play SCSI requires the exit–point terminator on computer motherboards or host bus adapters to automatically switch off if an external device is connected to the system.
The DS2109 satisfies this requirement by offering the engineer a choice of onboard current sensing circuitry or onboard ground detect circuitry.
If an external device is connected, the DS2109 will automatically be isolated from the SCSI
bus thereby maintaining proper system termination.
The DS2109 integrates a low drop–out regulator, 18 precise switched 110 ohm termination resistors, and bus termination sensors into a 28–pin 300 mil SOIC package.
Active termination provides: greater immunity to voltage drops on the TERMPWR (TERMination PoWeR) line, enhanced high–level noise immunity, intrinsic TERMPWR decoupling, and very low quiescent current consumption.
The DS2109 contains an output port that can control the power down pin of additional terminators (DS21S07A) for Wide SCSI applications.

FEATURES
* Fully compliant with SCSI–1, Fast SCSI and Ultra SCSI
* Compatible with Plug and Play SCSI Profile
* Functionally compatible with DS21S07A
* Provides active termination for 18 signal lines
* 2% tolerance on termination resistors and voltage regulator
* Bus termination sensing
* Low power down capacitance of 3 pF
* Onboard thermal shutdown circuitry

DS3030W - 3.3V Single-Piece 256kb Nonvolatile SRAM with Clock

Dallas-Maxim 2008/04/28 10:01

General Description
 The DS3030W consists of a static RAM, a nonvolatile (NV) controller, a year 2000-compliant real-time clock (RTC), and an internal rechargeable manganese lithium (ML) battery.
These components are encased in a surface- mount module with a 256-ball BGA footprint.
Whenever VCC is applied to the module, it recharges the ML battery, powers the clock and SRAM from the external power source, and allows the contents of the clock registers or SRAM to be modified.
When VCC is powered down or out-of-tolerance, the controller writeprotects the memory contents and powers the clock and SRAM from the battery.
The DS3030W also contains a power-supply monitor output (RST), as well as a user-programmable interrupt output (IRQ/FT).

Features
* Single-Piece, Reflowable, 27mm x 27mm BGA Package Footprint
* Internal Manganese Lithium Battery and Charger
* Integrated Real-Time Clock
* Unconditionally Write-Protects the Clock and SRAM when VCC is Out-of-Tolerance
* Automatically Switches to Battery Supply when VCC Power Failures Occur
* Reset Output can be Used as a CPU Supervisor
* Interrupt Output can be Used as a CPU Watchdog Timer
* Industrial Temperature Range (-40°C to +85°C)
* UL Recognized

Applications
* RAID Systems and Servers
* Gaming
* POS Terminals
* Fire Alarms
* Industrial Controllers
* PLCs
* Data-Acquisition Systems
* Routers/Switches
