1.1. CIP-51™ Microcontroller Core

1.1.1. Fully 8051 Compatible

The C8051F340/1/2/3/4/5/6/7 family utilizes Silicon Labs' proprietary CIP-51 microcontroller core. The

CIP-51 is fully compatible with the MCS-51™ instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compil-

ers can be used to develop software. The CIP-51 core offers all the peripherals included with a standard

8052, including four 16-bit counter/timers, two full-duplex UARTs with extended baud rate configuration, an

enhanced SPI port, up to 4352 Bytes of on-chip RAM, 128 byte Special Function Register (SFR) address

space, and up to 40 I/O pins.

1.1.2. Improved Throughput

The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the stan-

dard 8051 architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system

clock cycles to execute with a maximum system clock of 12-to-24 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51 core exe-

cutes 70% of its instructions in one or two system clock cycles, with only four instructions taking more than

four system clock cycles.

The CIP-51 has a total of 109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instructions listed by

the required execution time.

1.1.3. Additional Features

The C8051F340/1/2/3/4/5/6/7 SoC family includes several key enhancements to the CIP-51 core and

peripherals to improve performance and ease of use in end applications.

The extended interrupt handler provides 16 interrupt sources into the CIP-51 (as opposed to 7 for the stan-

dard 8051), allowing numerous analog and digital peripherals to interrupt the controller. An interrupt driven

system requires less intervention by the MCU, giving it more effective throughput. The extra interrupt

sources are very useful when building multi-tasking, real-time systems.

Nine reset sources are available: power-on reset circuitry (POR), an on-chip VDD monitor (forces reset

when power supply voltage drops below VRST as given in Table 11.1 on page 107), the USB controller

(USB bus reset or a VBUS transition), a Watchdog Timer, a Missing Clock Detector, a voltage level detec-

tion from Comparator0, a forced software reset, an external reset pin, and an errant Flash read/write pro-

tection circuit. Each reset source except for the POR, Reset Input Pin, or Flash error may be disabled by

the user in software. The WDT may be permanently enabled in software after a power-on reset during

MCU initialization.

The high-speed internal oscillator is factory calibrated to 12 MHz ±1.5%. A clock recovery mechanism

allows the internal oscillator to be used with the 4x Clock Multiplier as the USB clock source in Full Speed

mode; the internal oscillator can also be used as the USB clock source in Low Speed mode. External oscil-

lators may also be used with the 4x Clock Multiplier. An internal low-frequency oscillator is also included to

aid applications where power savings are critical. Also included is an external oscillator drive circuit, which

allows an external crystal, ceramic resonator, capacitor, RC, or CMOS clock source to generate the system

clock. The system clock may be configured to use ether of the internal oscillators, an external oscillator, or

the Clock Multiplier output divided by 2. If desired, the system clock source may be switched on-the-fly

between oscillator sources. The low-frequency internal oscillator or an external oscillator can be useful in

low power applications, allowing the MCU to run from a slow (power saving) external clock source, while

periodically switching to a higher-speed clock source when fast throughput is necessary.
