MCU incorporates high-resolution conversion
The C8051F350 is precision mixed-signal microcontroller that integrates an eight-channel, 24bit ADC with a high-speed 8051-compatible CPU.
Silicon Laboratories' new MCUs are ideal for applications that require high-speed data acquisition, high accuracy, low noise and low power consumption including applications such as imaging systems, industrial controls, medical and scientific instrumentation, wireless base stations and automatic test equipment.
A $24.95 C8051F064 evaluation kit is available to customers that allows for immediate evaluation of the analogue performance of on-chip ADCs and evaluation of the software development tools.
The C8051F064 product family combines high-performance analogue, with a high-speed Flash-based MCU core into a single, powerful mixed-signal MCU.

The C8051F064 product family includes the C8051F065, C8051F066 and C8051F067, which offer a high-speed 8051 core and a choice of 32 or 64Kbyte of Flash memory in a 64-pin or 100-pin package.
The new MCUs also have low-power dual 16bit ADCs accurate to +/-0.75LSB integral nonlinearity, 89dB SINAD and consume only 20mW per ADC.
On-chip peripherals include two UARTs, SMBus and SPIbus serial ports as well as a 2% accuracy precision internal oscillator that eliminates the need for an external crystal or resonator.
"With the C8051F064, Silicon Laboratories has enabled a new standard in price and performance by offering a single chip mixed-signal MCU for less than the price of a stand-alone high-speed ADC and separate MCU", said Derrell Coker, Vice President of Silicon Laboratories.
"Our solution provides designers of embedded applications an affordable programmable solution so they do not have to sacrifice performance for cost or board space".
As with all of Silicon Laboratories' MCU products, the C8051F064 product family features in-system debugging that eliminates the need for an emulator and includes features such as single stepping, breakpoints and modifying registers and memory.
They are supported with a complete, low-cost professional development kit that includes everything required to immediately begin the system design: IDE, target board, cables and power supply.
Pricing begins at $9.98 in quantities of 5000.
The C8051F064 evaluation kit is available now for $24.95.
The full development kit is available for $299 and provides features typical of in-circuit emulators.
The devices are packaged in either a 100-pin TQFP with 59 digital I/O or 64-pin TQFP with 24 digital I/O.
