The C8051F58x product family is ideal for space-constrained applications in automotive environments that require a precision analog interface, digital processing, and a networked serial bus (e.g. CAN or LIN). In addition, these applications typically require high-endurance Flash based program memory and reliable operation over extended temperature and voltage ranges. The C8051F58x product family is the industry's first 8-bit mixed-signal automotive microcontroller family that offers 128 kB of Flash, an integrated CAN to LIN gateway, no external timing components (i.e. crystal or resonator) required, in a 5x5 mm² package.

C8051F580 Development Kit

The C8051F580DK is a fully functional "out-of-the-box" development tool. A unique aspect of this development board is that it has two C8051F58x devices on a single board. This enables the designer to develop a fully functioning CAN 2.0B and LIN 2.1 master/slave network with a single piece of hardware. Furthermore, the external connector and 12 V regulator allows the designer to interface to any existing automotive network for maximum design and test flexibility.
Part Number: C8051F580DK: $99.00 USD

ToolStick C8051F582 Daughter Card

For ultra-low cost development with the C8051F58x use the ToolStick platform. Part Numbers: TOOLSTICK582DC: $9.90 USD, TOOLSTICKBA: $17.50 USD

Reference Designs

On-board diagnostics (OBD) is an automotive protocol supported by current vehicles to
capture and report diagnostic data over a controller area network (CAN) bus. The Silicon Labs CAN OBD Reader Reference Design use the CAN peripheral of the C8051F502 microcontroller (MCU) and interfaces to the OBD-II port in a vehicle to retrieve the diagnostic error codes and status information. The MCU communicates with the vehicle using the CAN bus at 500 kbps and does not require an external crystal.
