Description:The DS80C320/DS80C323 are fast 80C31/80C32-
compatible microcontrollers. Wasted clock and
memory cycles have been removed using a
redesigned processor core. As a result, every
8051 instruction is executed between 1.5 and 3
times faster than the original for the same
crystal speed. Typical applications see a speed
improvement of 2.5 times using the same code and
same crystal. The DS80C320 offers a maximum
crystal rate of 33MHz, resulting in apparent
execution speeds of 82.5MHz (approximately 2.5X).

The DS80C320/DS80C323 are pin compatible with all
three packages of the standard 80C32 and offer
the same timer/counters, serial port, and I/O
ports. In short, the devices are extremely
familiar to 8051users, but provide the speed of a
16-bit processor.

The DS80C320 provides several extras in addition
to greater speed. These include a second full
hardware serial port, seven additional
interrupts, programmable watchdog timer, power-
fail interrupt and reset. The device also
provides dual data pointers (DPTRs) to speed
block data memory moves. It can also adjust the
speed of off-chip data memory access to between
two and nine machine cycles for flexibility in
selecting memory and peripherals.

The DS80C320 operating voltage ranges from 4.25V
to 5.5V, making it ideal as a high-performance
upgrade to existing 5V systems. For applications
in which power consumption is critical, the
DS80C323 offers the same feature set as the
DS80C320, but with 2.7V to 5.5V operation.
