C8051T602-GSR

Overview

The C8051T602-GSR is a mixed-signal microcontroller from Silicon Labs, featuring an 8-bit CIP-51 core with pipelined architecture. It includes 4 kB of byte-programmable EPROM and 256 bytes of internal data RAM. The device integrates a 10-bit ADC supporting up to 500 ksps conversion rates and up to eight external inputs. Digital peripherals include a hardware-enhanced UART, SMBus interface, three 16-bit counter/timers, and a 16-bit Programmable Counter Array (PCA). Operating voltage ranges from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, with an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Features a high-speed 8051-compatible core executing most instructions in one or two system clocks for efficient processing.
• Integrates analog peripherals including a 10-bit ADC, programmable comparator, and built-in temperature sensor.
• Provides on-chip debug circuitry enabling full-speed, non-intrusive in-system debugging without external probes.
• Supports flexible clock sources with an internal oscillator accurate enough for crystal-less UART operation.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring byte-programmable memory for field upgrades
• Industrial control applications utilizing onboard analog sensing
• Battery-powered devices leveraging low-voltage operation and power management modes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GSR' against official ordering tables to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target assembly process. Check for any manufacturer notices regarding end-of-life status or recommended design alternatives before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when byte-programmable EPROM is required instead of Flash memory. Ensure the application utilizes the integrated 10-bit ADC and does not require higher resolution converters found in other series. Verify that the 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with the system power architecture and that the SOIC-14 package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the C8051T60x family of mixed-signal microcontrollers. These devices are designed for highly integrated single-chip solutions combining digital control capabilities with analog signal processing functions. The family shares common architectural features while varying in memory size and peripheral availability across different part numbers.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's product selection guide for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the C8051T60x series. Consider newer silicon generations if available, as this specific part number may be designated as not recommended for new designs.
