Highly integrated 8bit MCU combines a 25MIPS CPU, 10bit 500Ksample/s ADC and an internal +/-2 % oscillator in a 3 x 3mm package
In addition, the C8051F360 integrates precision analogue capability with a linear 10bit 200Ksample/s SAR ADC and programmable DAC for measurement and control.
The C8051F360 is pin compatible with Silicon Laboratories' C8051F310 MCU family.
The C8051F360 also has low-cost development tools that designers can begin using immediately to develop their end applications.
The C8051F360DK is a full-featured development kit containing all the hardware and software required to develop an embedded system.
Included with the development kit is the target board, an integrated development environment (IDE) that interfaces with the on-chip debug circuitry of the C8051F360 and an evaluation version of the Keil C51 toolchain.
In addition, a ToolStickSK daughter card is available to provide a convenient, portable development tool in a USB stick format.
With the C8051F360 family, designers can use an 8bit CPU in applications that traditionally use more expensive 16bit MCUs and DSPs.
The C8051F360 family is optimised for applications that require parameter sampling, information processing and communication functions within one embedded system.
The C8051F360 Small Form Factor MCU family is available now with pricing beginning at $2.47 in quantities of 10K.
