The C8051T606’s high level of integration makes it an optimal solution in applications such as communications bridges, LED lighting and system supply supervisors. The world’s smallest MCU, it is a mixed-signal device, providing a high degree of functional density for programmable embedded systems. The C8051T606 reduces the PCB footprint and BOM cost by integrating a voltage monitor and precision oscillator, particularly useful in space constrained applications.  These important features are not found in competing microcontrollers in this class.

The C8051T606 offers unprecedented price performance in 2x2 mm2.  Higher levels of performance and on-chip hardware peripherals give designers flexibility to implement more functionality in less code space allowing the addition of more product features in software:

• Highest level of processing power (25 MIPS) in this class of MCU—useful for real-time control, high-speed serial communication, fast interrupt servicing, and high processing load applications
• Hardware implementation of I2C and UART leaves valuable code space for application code—most competitors require software implementation of these features, wasting code space and CPU MIPs.
