C8051F560-IQ

Overview

The C8051F560-IQ is an automotive-qualified, mixed-signal ISP Flash MCU from the C8051F56x family. It features a high-speed 8051 core with up to 50 MIPS throughput at 50 MHz and includes 32 kB of in-system programmable Flash memory alongside 2304 bytes of internal data RAM. The device integrates a 12-bit ADC supporting up to 200 ksps conversion rates and up to 32 external single-ended inputs. Digital peripherals include CAN 2.0 and LIN 2.1 controllers without requiring external crystals, along with hardware-enhanced UART, SMBus, and SPI interfaces. Operating within a voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.25 V, it supports a temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C and is housed in a 32-pin QFP/QFN package.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Silicon Labs distributors or certified supply chain partners. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required package variant and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and relevant automotive quality standards before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when automotive reliability and CAN/LIN bus integration are required. Consider pin-for-pin compatibility with the C8051F55x/57x series for design flexibility. Evaluate memory requirements against the available 32 kB Flash and 2304 bytes RAM configuration to ensure sufficient capacity for application firmware and data storage needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the C8051F55x/56x/57x mixed-signal MCU family designed for cost-sensitive and high-performance applications. The family shares architectural similarities but varies in memory size and peripheral counts. The C8051F56x series specifically targets automotive and industrial sectors requiring robust communication interfaces and analog signal processing capabilities within a compact form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Pin-for-pin compatible alternatives within the same family include the C8051F55x and C8051F57x series devices. Verify specific memory configurations and peripheral availability when substituting to ensure functional equivalence.
