C8051F510-IMR

Overview

The C8051F510-IMR is an 8-bit mixed-signal microcontroller from the Silicon Labs C8051F50x/F51x family, featuring a high-speed pipelined 8051 core operating at up to 50 MHz. It integrates 64 kB of in-system programmable Flash memory and 4352 bytes of internal data RAM (256 + 4096 XRAM). The device includes a 12-bit ADC with up to 200 ksps throughput, two comparators, and extensive digital peripherals such as CAN 2.0, LIN 2.1, UART, SMBus, and SPI. Powered by a 1.8 V to 5.25 V supply, it operates within a temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C and is housed in a 40-pin QFN package.

• Robust connectivity with hardware-enhanced CAN 2.0 and LIN 2.1 controllers requiring no external crystal

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust communication protocols
• Automotive embedded applications meeting AEC-Q100 qualification standards
• Data acquisition systems utilizing high-speed analog-to-digital conversion
• Smart sensor nodes leveraging low-power stop mode operation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your region. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly or material changes. Ensure the source document matches the exact part number to avoid pinout mismatches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a complete mixed-signal solution with integrated CAN and LIN interfaces is required. It is suitable for designs needing high-speed processing alongside precise analog measurement. Consider the 40-pin QFN footprint for space-constrained layouts. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the typical stop mode current specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C8051F50x/F51x family of mixed-signal ISP Flash MCUs. The family shares a common instruction set and peripheral architecture but varies in memory size, I/O count, and package options. The C8051F510 specifically offers 64 kB Flash and 40 pins, bridging the gap between lower-memory variants and higher-density models.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include C8051F500, C8051F504, and C8051F505, which share similar memory and peripheral configurations but may differ in package or I/O count. Verify pin compatibility and software register mapping before substitution.
