The IA8044/IA8344 is a "plug-and-play" drop-in replacement for the original IC. innovASIC
produces replacement ICs using its MILES
TM
, or Managed IC Lifetime Extension System, cloning
technology. This technology produces replacement ICs far more complex than "emulation" while
ensuring they are compatible with the original IC. MILES
TM
captures the design of a clone so it
can be produced even as silicon technology advances. MILES
TM
also verifies the clone against the
original IC so that even the "undocumented features" are duplicated. This data sheet documents
all necessary engineering information about the IA8044/IA8344 including functional and I/O
descriptions, electrical characteristics, and applicable timing.

DESCRIPTION
The IA8044/IA8344 is a form, fit and function compatible part to the Intel® 8X44 SDLC
communications controller. The IA8044/IA8344 is a Fast Single-Chip 8-Bit Microcontroller with
an integrated SDLC/HDLC serial interface controller. The IA8044/IA8344 is a fully functional 8-
Bit Embedded Controller that executes all ASM51 instructions and has the same instruction set as
the Intel 80C51. The IA8044/IA8344 can access the instructions from two types of program
memory, serves software and hardware interrupts, provides an interface for serial communications
and a timer system. The IA8044/IA8344 is fully compatible with the Intel® 8X44 series. The
functional block diagram is shown below.

Description
Reset. This pin when held high for two machine cycles while
the oscillator is running will cause the chip to reset.
Address Latch Enable. Used to latch the address on the falling
edge for external memory accesses.
Program Store Enable. When low acts as an output enable for
external program memory.
External Access. When held low EA will cause the
IA8044/IA8344 to fetch instructions from external memory.
Port 0. 8 bit I/O port and low order multiplexed address/data
byte for external accesses.
Port 1. 8 bit I/O port. Two bits have alternate functions, P1.6
(RTS) and P1.7 (CTS).
Port 2. 8 bit I/O port. It also functions as the high order
address byte during external accesses.
Port 3. 8 bit I/O port. Port 3 bits also have alternate
functions as described below.
P3.0 – RXD. Receive data input for SIU or direction control
for P3.1 dependent upon datalink configuration.
P3.1 – TXD. Transmit data output for SIU or data
input/output dependent upon datalink configuration. Also
enables diagnostic mode when cleared.
P3.2 – INT0. Interrupt 0 input or gate control input for
counter 0.
P3.3 – INT1. Interrupt 1 input or gate control input for
counter 1.
P3.4 – T0. Input to counter 0.
P3.5 – SCLK/T1. SCLK input to SIU or input to counter 1.
P3.6 – WR. External memory write signal.
P3.7 – RD. External memory read signal.
Crystal Input 1. Connect to VSS when external clock is used
on XTAL2. May be connected to a crystal (with XTAL2), or
may be driven directly with a clock source (XTAL2 not
connected).
Crystal Input 2. May be connected to a crystal (with XTAL1),
or may be driven directly with an inverted clock source
(XTAL1 tied to ground).
Ground.
+5V power.

Memory Organization
Program Memory
Preliminary Data Sheet
As of Production Version 00
Program Memory includes interrupt and Reset vectors. The interrupt vectors are spaced at 8-
byte intervals, starting from 0003H for External Interrupt 0.
Reset Vectors
Location
0003H
000BH
0013H
001BH
0023H
Service
External Interrupt 0
Timer 0 overflow
External Interrupt 1
Timer 1 overflow
SIU Interrupt
These locations may be used for program code, if the corresponding interrupts are not
used (disabled). The Program Memory space is 64K, from 0000H to FFFFH. The lowest 4K of
program code (0000H to 0FFFH) can be fetched from external or internal Program Memory. This
selection is made by strapping pin ‘EA’ (External Address) to GND or VCC. If during reset, ‘EA’
is held low, all the program code is fetched from external memory. If, during reset, ‘EA’ is held
high, the lowest 4K of program code (0000H to 0FFFH) is fetched from internal memory (ROM).
Data Memory
External Data Memory
The IA8044/IA8344 Microcontroller core incorporates the Harvard architecture, with separate
code and data spaces. The code from external memory is fetched by ‘psen’ strobe, while data
is read from RAM by bit 7 of P3 (read strobe) and written to RAM by bit 6 of P3 (write strobe).
The External Data Memory space is active only by addressing through use of the 16 bit Data
Pointer Register (DPTR). A smaller subset of external data memory (8 bit addressing) may be
accessed by using the MOVX instruction with register indexed addressing.
