DQ8051

The DQ8051 is an ultra-high performance, speed-optimized soft core of a single-chip 8-bit embedded controller, designed to operate with fast (typically on-chip) and slow (off-chip) memories. The core was designed with a special concern about the performance to power-consumption ratio. This ratio is extended by an advanced power management (PMU) unit. The DQ8051 softcore is 100% binary-compatible with an industry-standard 8051 8-bit microcontroller. Our powerful 8051 has a built-in, configurable DoCD-JTAG on-chip debugger, supporting Keil µVision development platform and a standalone DoCD debug software. Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark program runs from 26.67 to 29.01 times faster than the original 80C51 at the same frequency. This performance can be also exploited to great advantage in low-power applications, where the core can be clocked over ten times slower than the original implementation, with no performance penalty. The DQ8051 is fully customizable – it is delivered in an exact configuration to meet your requirements. There is no need to pay extra for unused features and wasted silicon. The DQ8051 is delivered with a fully automated test bench and a complete set of tests, allowing easy package validation at each stage of the SoC design flow. Each of our 8051 cores has built-in support for DCD’s Hardware Debug System called DoCD™. It is a real-time hardware debugger, which provides debugging capability of a whole System-on-Chip (SoC). Unlike other on-chip debuggers, the DoCD™ provides non-intrusive debugging of a running application. It can halt, run, step into or skip an instruction, and read/write any contents of the microcontroller, including all registers, internal and external program memories, all SFRs, including user-defined peripherals.
