DESCRIPTION
The DS2250(T) Soft Microcontroller Module is a fully 8051-compatible 8-bit CMOS microcontroller that
offers “softness” in all aspects of its application. This is accomplished through the comprehensive use of
nonvolatile technology to preserve all information in the absence of system V
CC
. The internal
program/data memory space is implemented using 8, 32, or 64 kbytes of nonvolatile CMOS SRAM.
Furthermore, internal data registers and key configuration registers are also nonvolatile. An optional real
time clock gives permanently powered timekeeping. The clock keeps time to a hundredth of a second
using an on-board crystal. All nonvolatile memory and resources are maintained for over 10 years at
room temperature in the absence of power.

PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN
1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
11, 13, 15
17
DESCRIPTION
P1.0 - P1.7.
General purpose I/O Port 1
RST
- Active high reset input. A logic 1 applied to this pin will activate a reset state.
This pin is pulled down internally so this pin can be left unconnected if not used. An
RC power-on reset circuit is not needed and is not recommended.
P3.0 RXD.
General purpose I/O port pin 3.0. Also serves as the receive signal for the
19
on board UART. This pin should not be connected directly to a PC COM port.
21
P3.1 TXD.
General purpose I/O port pin 3.1. Also serves as the transmit signal for the
on board UART. This pin should not be connected directly to a PC COM port.
23
P3.2
INT0
.
General purpose I/O port pin 3.2. Also serves as the active low External
Interrupt 0.
25
P3.3
INT1
.
General purpose I/O port pin 3.3. Also serves as the active low External
Interrupt 1.
27
P3.4 T0.
General purpose I/O port pin 3.4. Also serves as the Timer 0 input.
29
P3.5 T1.
General purpose I/O port pin 3.5. Also serves as the Timer 1 input.
31
P3.6
WR
.
General purpose I/O port pin. Also serves as the write strobe for Expanded
bus operation.
33
P3.7
RD
.
General purpose I/O port pin. Also serves as the read strobe for Expanded
bus operation.
35, 37
XTAL2, XTAL1.
Used to connect an external crystal to the internal oscillator.
XTAL1 is the input to an inverting amplifier and XTAL2 is the output.
39
GND
- Logic ground.
26, 28, 30, 32,
P2.7-P2.0.
General purpose I/O Port 2. Also serves as the MSB of the Expanded
34, 36, 38, 40 Address bus.
24
PSEN
- Program Store Enable. This active low signal is used to enable an external
program memory when using the Expanded bus. It is normally an output and should
be unconnected if not used.
PSEN
also is used to invoke the Bootstrap Loader. At this
time,
PSEN
will be pulled down externally. This should only be done once the
DS2250(T) is already in a reset state. The device that pulls down should be open-drain
since it must not interfere with
PSEN
under normal operation.
ALE
- Address Latch Enable. Used to de-multiplex the multiplexed Expanded
22
Address/Data bus on Port 0. This pin is normally connected to the clock input on a
’373 type transparent latch. When using a parallel programmer, this pin also assumes
the
PROG
function for programming pulses.
20
EA
- External Access. This pin forces the DS2250(T) to behave like an 8031. No
internal memory (or clock) will be available when this pin is at a logic low. Since this
pin is pulled down internally, it should be connected to +5V to use NV RAM. In a
parallel programmer, this pin also serves as V
PP
for super voltage pulses.
4, 6, 8, 10, 12,
P0.0-P0.7.
General purpose I/O Port 0. This port is open-drain and can not drive a
14, 16, 18
logic 1. It requires external pullups. Port 0 is also the multiplexed Expanded
Address/Data bus. When used in this mode, it does not require pullups.

INSTRUCTION SET
The DS2250(T) executes an instruction set which is object code-compatible with the industry standard
8051 microcontroller. As a result, software development packages which have been written for the 8051
are compatible with the DS2250(T), including cross-assemblers, high-level language compilers, and
debugging tools. Note that the DS2250(T) is functionally identical to the DS5000(T) except for package
and the 64k memory option.
A complete description for the DS2250(T) instruction set is available in the User’s Guide section of the
Secure Microcontroller Data Book.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
Figure 2 illustrates the address spaces which are accessed by the DS2250(T). As illustrated in the figure,
separate address spaces exist for program and data memory. Since the basic addressing capability of the
machine is 16 bits, a maximum of 64 kbytes of program memory and 64 kbytes of data memory can be
accessed by the DS2250(T) CPU. The 8- or 32-kbyte RAM area inside of the DS2250(T) can be used to
contain both program and data memory. A second 32k RAM is available for data only.
The Real Time Clock (RTC) in the DS2250(T) is reached in the memory map by setting a SFR bit. The
MCON.2 bit (ECE2) is used to select an alternate data memory map. While ECE2=1, all MOVXs will be
routed to this alternate memory map. The real time clock is a serial device that resides in this area. A full
description of the RTC access and example software is given in the User’s Guide section of the Secure
Microcontroller Data Book.
