Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) before procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the datasheet indicates distinct packages for different variants within the series. Ensure compatibility with existing designs due to the end-of-life recommendation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for legacy 8051-based designs requiring integrated analog peripherals. The C8051T600 variant specifically provides the 10-bit ADC and temperature sensor not available in all family members. Consider the NRND status when planning long-term production runs and evaluate alternative silicon for new development projects.
