C8051F206-GQ

Overview

The C8051F206-GQ is an 8-bit mixed-signal microcontroller from Silicon Labs, featuring a high-speed 8051-compatible core operating at up to 25 MHz. It integrates 8 kB of in-system programmable Flash memory and 1.25 kB of RAM within a 48-pin TQFP package. The device includes a 12-bit, 32-channel analog-to-digital converter, two voltage comparators, three timers/counters, and standard serial interfaces such as SPI and UART. It supports a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a fully static 8051-compatible microcontroller core with in-system programmable Flash for code execution and non-volatile data storage.
• Includes a high-resolution 12-bit, 32-channel analog-to-digital converter for precise signal acquisition.
• Provides on-chip system monitoring features including a power-on reset, brown-out detector, and watchdog timer.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-signal processing
• Battery-powered instrumentation utilizing low-power operation
• Data acquisition systems leveraging the integrated ADC

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as specific batches may vary. Check for obsolescence notices, as this part number has been identified as potentially end-of-life in some regional listings. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a complete mixed-signal solution is needed on a single chip. It is suitable for applications requiring multiple analog inputs processed by a digital controller without external ADCs. Consider the 48-pin TQFP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate if the 8 kB Flash capacity meets firmware requirements compared to higher-density variants in the C8051F2xx series.

Part Context

This device belongs to the C8051F2xx family of fully integrated mixed-signal System-on-Chip MCUs. These devices are designed to reduce bill-of-materials costs and board space by integrating common peripheral functions directly onto the silicon die alongside the 8051 core.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Silicon Labs documentation for confirmed cross-reference part numbers. Verify pin compatibility and functional equivalence before substituting.
