Silicon Laboratories has introduced a new family of high-performance 8-bit microcontrollers featuring the company’s latest mixed-signal breakthrough, an integrated temperature sensor with best-in-class accuracy over an extended temperature range and without the need for calibration.
It offers a mix of integrated high-performance analog peripherals and a particularly fast 8051 CPU in a compact package, providing a solution for optical transceiver modules, sensor interfaces and brushless dc motor applications for fans, dryers, etc.
The C8051F39x/7x MCUs are designed to consume an ultra-low 160 µA/MHz in active mode, enabling up to an 80 percent power savings. The low-power active mode is vital for portable applications to extend battery life and for space-constrained and enclosed applications to minimize self-heating.
