Specifications
The C8051F805-GSR operates from a supply voltage of 2.2 V to 3.6 V. It has a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with multiple analog input channels, allowing for precise measurement of analog signals. It includes a UART, SPI, and I2C serial interfaces for communication with other devices. The on-chip debug interface enables easy programming and debugging of the firmware. It comes in a 24-pin QSOP package. The internal oscillator eliminates the need for external clock components, further reducing the BOM cost and board space.
This MCU is commonly used in applications requiring analog signal processing, serial communication, and a compact form factor.
