System Overview
C8051F55x/56x/57x devices are fully integrated mixed-signal System-on-a-Chip MCUs. Highlighted features are listed below. Refer to Table 2.1 for specific product feature selection and part ordering numbers.
◾ High-speed pipelined 8051-compatible microcontroller core (up to 50 MIPS)
◾ In-system, full-speed, non-intrusive debug interface (on-chip)
◾ Controller Area Network (CAN 2.0B) Controller with 32 message objects, each with its own indentifier
mask (C8051F550/1/4/5, ‘F560/1/4/5/8/9, and ‘F572/3)
◾ LIN 2.1 peripheral (fully backwards compatible, master and slave modes) (C8051F550/2/4/6,
‘F560/2/4/6/8, and ‘F570/2/4)
◾ True 12-bit 200 ksps 32-channel single-ended ADC with analog multiplexer
◾ Precision programmable 24 MHz internal oscillator that is within ±0.5% across the temperature range
and for VDD voltages greater than or equal to the on-chip voltage regulator minimum output at the low
setting. The oscillator is within +1.0% for VDD voltages below this minimum output setting.
◾ On-chip Clock Multiplier to reach up to 50 MHz
◾ 32 kB (C8051F550-3, ‘F560-3, ‘F568-9, and ‘F570-1) or 16 kB (C8051F554-7, ‘F564-7, and ‘F572-5) of
on-chip Flash memory
◾ 2304 bytes of on-chip RAM
◾ SMBus/I2C, Enhanced UART, and Enhanced SPI serial interfaces implemented in hardware
◾ Four general-purpose 16-bit timers
◾ External Data Memory Interface (C8051F568-9 and ‘F570-5) with 64 kB address space
◾ Programmable Counter/Timer Array (PCA) with six capture/compare modules and Watchdog Timer
function
◾ On-chip Voltage Regulator
◾ On-chip Power-On Reset, VDD Monitor, and Temperature Sensor
◾ On-chip Voltage Comparator
◾ 33, 25, or 18 Port I/O (5 V push-pull)
With on-chip Voltage Regulator, Power-On Reset, VDD monitor, Watchdog Timer, and clock oscillator, the C8051F55x/56x/57x devices are truly stand-alone System-on-a-Chip solutions. The Flash memory can be reprogrammed even in-circuit, providing non-volatile data storage, and also allowing field upgrades of the 8051 firmware. User software has complete control of all peripherals, and may individually shut down any or all peripherals for power savings.
