C8051F360-GQR

Overview

The C8051F360-GQR is a mixed-signal ISP Flash microcontroller from Silicon Labs, featuring a high-speed 8051 core with up to 100 MIPS throughput. It integrates 32 kB of in-system programmable Flash memory and 1280 bytes of internal data RAM. The device includes a 10-bit ADC supporting up to 200 ksps with 21 external inputs, a 10-bit current output DAC, two comparators, and an on-chip debug circuitry. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and utilizes a 48-pin TQFP package.

Feature Summary

• High-speed 8051 core delivering up to 100 MIPS throughput via pipelined architecture and on-chip PLL.
• Integrated mixed-signal peripherals including a 10-bit ADC, 10-bit current output DAC, and dual comparators.
• On-chip debug circuitry enabling full-speed, non-intrusive in-system debugging without external emulators.
• Flexible clocking system with internal oscillators and phase-locked loop for power-saving mode switching.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring mixed-signal processing
• Sensor interface modules utilizing integrated ADC and temperature sensing
• Embedded applications needing in-system programming capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific revision level matches project requirements. Check for end-of-life status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure environmental compliance certifications are valid for the target market. Validate package integrity upon receipt to prevent handling damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a fully static 8051 MCU with integrated analog peripherals. Consider the 48-pin TQFP package for board space constraints. Evaluate the 10-bit ADC resolution against application signal requirements. Assess the 32 kB Flash capacity for code storage needs. Verify operating temperature range suitability for the intended environment.
