C8051F060-GQR

Overview

The C8051F060-GQR is a mixed-signal 8-bit microcontroller from Silicon Labs, featuring a high-speed pipelined 8051 core operating at up to 25 MHz. It integrates 64 kB of in-system programmable Flash memory and 4352 bytes of internal data RAM. The device includes two 16-bit SAR ADCs with throughput up to 1 Msps, one 10-bit SAR ADC, and two 12-bit DACs. Digital peripherals consist of a Bosch CAN 2.0B controller, SMBus, SPI, dual UARTs, five 16-bit timers, and a Programmable Counter Array. It provides 59 general-purpose I/O pins, operates within a 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply range, and supports -40°C to +85°C temperatures in a 100-pin TQFP package.
