NUREMBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2007--Silicon
Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq:SLAB), a leader in high-performance,
analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today announced at Embedded World
2007 the first mixed-signal 8-bit MCU family to offer 100 MHz CPU
operation in a 5x5 mm package. The C8051F360 Small Form Factor MCU
family adds to Silicon Laboratories' portfolio of the most
functionally dense small form factor MCUs, ideal for consumer and
industrial electronics applications that require precision motion
control and signal processing.
Silicon Laboratories' highly integrated C8051F360 offers customers
increased functionality, providing a 2-cycle 16x16 MAC, a 2% internal
oscillator and 32 kB of in-system programmable Flash memory. The
C8051F360 has configurable I/O port pins and a variety of
communications peripherals including crystal-less UART, SPI and SMBus.
The functional density of the C8051F360 allows the engineer to work
within space constraints while enhancing the performance of the end
product. In addition, the C8051F360 integrates precision analog
capability with a linear 10-bit 200 ksps SAR ADC and programmable DAC
for measurement and control.
The C8051F360 is pin compatible with Silicon Laboratories'
C8051F310 MCU family. This allows designers using these solutions to
easily provide both upgraded and lower cost versions of their products
without having to develop multiple hardware platforms.
The C8051F360 also has low-cost development tools that designers
can begin using immediately to develop their end applications. The
C8051F360DK is a full-featured development kit containing all the
hardware and software required to develop an embedded system. Included
with the development kit is the target board, an integrated
development environment (IDE) that interfaces with the on-chip debug
circuitry of the C8051F360 and an evaluation version of the Keil C51
toolchain. In addition, a ToolStickSK daughter card is available to
provide a convenient, portable development tool in a USB stick format.
"Silicon Laboratories has built a leading portfolio of
functionally dense, small form factor 8-bit MCUs," said Derrell Coker,
vice president of Silicon Laboratories. "With the C8051F360 family,
designers can use an 8-bit CPU in applications that traditionally use
more expensive 16-bit MCUs and DSPs. The C8051F360 family is optimized
for applications that require parameter sampling, information
processing and communication functions within one embedded system."
Pricing and Availability
The C8051F360 Small Form Factor MCU family is available now with
pricing beginning at $2.47 in quantities of 10K.
