DR8051XP
High Performance Configurable
8-bit Microcontroller
ver 3.10
OVERVIEW
DR8051XP is a
high performance, area
optimized
soft core of a single-chip 8-bit em-
bedded controller dedicated for operation with
fast
(typically on-chip) and
slow
(off-chip)
memories.
The core has been designed with a
special concern about
low power consump-
tion.
Additionally an advanced power man-
agement unit makes DR8051XP core
perfect
for portable equipment
where low power
consumption is mandatory.
DR8051XP soft core is 100% binary-
compatible with the industry standard 8051 8-
bit microcontroller. There are two configura-
tions of DR8051XP:
Harward
where external
data and program buses are separated, and
von Neumann
with common program and ex-
ternal data bus. DR8051XP has RISC architec-
ture
6.7 times faster
compared to standard
architecture and executes
65-200 million in-
structions
per second. This performance can
also be exploited to great advantage in
low
power
applications where the core can be
clocked up to seven times more slowly than
the original implementation for no performance
penalty.
DR8051XP is
fully customizable,
which
means it is delivered in the exact configuration
to meet users’ requirements.
There is no need
to pay extra for not used features and wasted
silicon.
It includes
fully automated testbench

with
complete set of tests
allowing easy
package validation at each stage of SoC de-
sign flow.
