C8051T600-GMR

Overview

The C8051T600-GMR is a mixed-signal microcontroller from the C8051T60x series by Silicon Labs. It features an 8-bit CIP-51 core with up to 25 MIPS throughput at 25 MHz. The device includes 1.5 kB of byte-programmable EPROM and 256 bytes of internal data RAM. Analog peripherals consist of a 10-bit ADC supporting up to 500 ksps, a comparator, and a temperature sensor. Digital interfaces include UART, SMBus, and three 16-bit timers. It operates on a supply voltage of 1.8 V to 3.6 V within a -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.

Feature Summary

• High-speed pipelined 8051 architecture executing most instructions in one or two system clocks
• Integrated 10-bit analog-to-digital converter with programmable window detector
• On-chip debug circuitry enabling non-intrusive in-system debugging
• Flexible clocking options including internal oscillator for crystal-less operation

Applications

• Battery-powered portable instrumentation
• Industrial control systems requiring low power consumption
• Sensor signal conditioning and monitoring
• Embedded communication interface devices

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as this model is marked Not Recommended for New Designs. Confirm package type matches design requirements, typically QFN11 or SOIC14. Ensure development tools support legacy EPROM programming procedures. Check for available errata documentation regarding specific silicon revisions before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications prioritizing EPROM reprogrammability over Flash. Evaluate memory requirements against the 1.5 kB code limit. Consider the 10-bit ADC resolution and sampling rate suitability for analog inputs. Verify that the 1.8 V minimum supply voltage aligns with system power rails. Assess if the limited I/O count meets interface needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C8051T60x family of mixed-signal microcontrollers. It shares architectural similarities with other C8051T variants but distinguishes itself through EPROM storage technology. The series targets cost-sensitive embedded designs where field updates are necessary without external memory components.
