What is the substitute of 'posixtime' which starts counting from 6th Jan, 1980

With the following code I get the TimeStamp is 08-Sep-2020 16:50:00 (This is correct/required)
gps_seconds=1283619000;
gps_start=datetime(1980,1,6,'TimeZone', 'UTC');
TimeStamp=gps_start+seconds(gps_seconds)
However, the following line give me the time time format of 04-Sep-2010 16:50:00 (10 years earlier because 'posixtime' starts counting from 1.1.1970).
TimeStamp = datetime(gps_seconds, 'convertfrom', 'posixtime','TimeZone', 'UTC');
Can anyone may help ...is there any substitute of 'posixtime' which starts counting from 6th Jan, 1980?

Is there some reason your first code segment is unacceptable for your application?
gps_seconds=1283619000;
gps_start=datetime(1980,1,6,'TimeZone', 'UTC');
TimeStamp=gps_start+seconds(gps_seconds)
Do you want one call to datetime without having to add on the seconds later?
gps_seconds=1283619000;
TimeStamp2 = datetime(1980,1,6,0, 0, gps_seconds,'TimeZone', 'UTC')
Or you could use 'epochtime'.
TimeStamp3 = datetime(gps_seconds,'ConvertFrom','epochtime','Epoch',gps_start, ...
'TimeZone', 'UTC')
Let's check.
TimeStamp == TimeStamp2
TimeStamp == TimeStamp3
