Once again, together with Avnet Memec, Silicon Laboratories continues to redefine the 8-bit mixed-signal MCU market innovative new product introductions. This time, as the market leader in small form factor MCUs with a portfolio of over 60 high performance products, the C8051T600 MCU family expands Silicon Laboratories' small form factor offerings for cost-sensitive applications. With the highest level of performance and functionality condensed into a very small package, these low-cost devices have the highest functional density of any 8-bit MCU available for applications in this market segment.

The C8051T600 includes 25 MIPS CPU, up to 8 kB OTP memory, a 10-bit 500 ksps ADC and a 2% internal oscillator in a 3x3 mm package for very low cost.

The C8051T600 is pin compatible with the Flash-based C8051F300, one of the most popular 8-bit MCUs on the market. This enables manufacturers to migrate in an inexpensive direction, and easily design reduced-cost versions of their products using the C8051F300. The C8051T600 also provides increased ADC resolution without sacrificing speed. The C8051T600 family is fully supported by the C8051T600DK, which facilitates software and application development as well as OTP memory programming.

Due to the high level of features integrated into a tiny package, the C8051T600 represents a high performance solution for cost- and space-sensitive applications in the consumer and industrial markets. Applications include toys, camera modules, cell phone accessories, portable devices, home appliances and motor control. By using a smaller and more integrated solution, customers are able to reduce the number of external components and the board space. This simplifies the design process, increases reliability and reduces total system cost.
