The Si4300 is billed as the industry's first monolithic CMOS power amplifier (PA) for GSM cellular applications.
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.
Based on Silicon Laboratories' high-speed pipelined 8051 core, the C8051F332 product family features 25MIPS, 2 to 8Kbyte Flash and 768byte RAM in a tiny 4 x 4mm package.
These highly-integrated devices eliminate external components such as crystal oscillators making them ideal for space-constrained, low-power consumer, industrial and communications applications.
The C8051F332 product family integrates on-chip peripherals such as a 10bit 200Ksample/s ADC, temperature sensor, voltage reference and comparator.
The C8051F332 product family also incorporates a 2%-accurate precision internal oscillator eliminating the need for an external crystal or resonator.
Onboard serial communication peripherals include UART, SMBus and SPIbus serial ports.
"Silicon Laboratories mixed-signal MCU portfolio uniquely addresses the broad range of applications where space constraints traditionally have resulted in performance tradeoffs".
"Our new small form factor devices, like the rest of our small form factor portfolio, offer a very small footprint without sacrificing performance", said Derrell Coker, vice president of Silicon Laboratories.
The C8051F332 includes on-chip two-wire (C2) debug circuitry that provides nonintrusive, full-speed, in-circuit debugging of the production part before and after installation with no emulator required.
Like all Silicon Laboratories MCU products, the C8051F332 products 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.
The C8051F332 is packaged in a 20-pin QFN.
Pricing begins at $1.38 in quantities of 10,000 and a complete development kit is available for $99.
