Silicon Labs Debuts C8051F064 Family of MCUs

Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Austin, TX) announced its new C8051F064 product family of precision mixed-signal microcontrollers (MCUs), which integrate a 25 MIPS 8051 MCU with dual 16-bit, 1 Msps analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The C8051F064 product family is suitable 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.

The C8051F064 product family combines high-performance analog, with a high-speed, flash-based MCU core into a single, 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 kB or 64 kB of flash memory in a 64-pin or 100-pin package. The new MCUs also have low-power, dual 16-bit ADCs accurate to ±0.75 least significant bit integral non-linearity, 89 dB SINAD, and consume only 20 mW per ADC.

Pricing begins at $9.98 in quantities of 5,000. 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.
