C8051F060-GQ

Overview

The C8051F060-GQ is a mixed-signal microcontroller featuring an 8051 core operating at up to 25 MHz. It includes 64 kB of Flash memory and 4352 bytes of internal RAM. The device integrates two 16-bit SAR ADCs with throughput up to 1 Msps, one 10-bit SAR ADC, and two 12-bit DACs. Additional peripherals include three analog comparators, a Bosch CAN controller, SMBus, SPI, dual UARTs, five 16-bit timers, and six PCA channels. It operates on a 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply within a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Feature Summary

• High-speed data acquisition via two integrated 16-bit SAR ADCs capable of 1 Msps sampling rates.
• Integrated digital communication interfaces including Bosch CAN 2.0B, SMBus, SPI, and dual UARTs.
• On-chip JTAG debug circuitry enabling full-speed, non-intrusive in-circuit debugging.
• Direct Memory Access (DMA) support for efficient data transfer between peripherals and RAM.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-precision analog signal processing
• Automotive networks utilizing Bosch CAN protocol for data transmission
• Data acquisition systems needing simultaneous multi-channel sampling
• Embedded devices requiring in-system programmable flash memory

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Silicon Labs distributors or certified partners. Confirm the specific package variant matches project requirements. Check for end-of-life status as indicated in documentation. Ensure development tools are compatible with the CIP-51 architecture. Validate environmental ratings against operational conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-resolution analog conversion is critical alongside robust digital connectivity. The inclusion of CAN and multiple serial ports supports complex system integration. Consider the pin count and peripheral availability relative to board space constraints. Evaluate power consumption profiles against battery-operated or low-power design goals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the C8051F06x family of highly integrated mixed-signal microcontrollers. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the C8051F061, differing primarily in I/O count and specific peripheral configurations. The family emphasizes stand-alone System-on-Chip solutions with extensive on-board analog and digital resources.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Silicon Labs documentation for verified substitute part numbers within the C8051F06x series. Cross-reference pinouts and peripheral sets before implementation. Verify software compatibility with alternative models in the same family.
