DEVELOPMENT SUITE SUPPORTS C8051F12x AND C8051F13x

Full support for the C8051F12x and C8051F13x mixed signal microcontroller units has added to the Crossware 8051 Development Suite. Code Creation Wizards are provided for all on-chip peripherals. They allow the phase-locked loop to be rapidly configured to exploit the 100-MIPS maximum performance. With the compiler and libraries using multiplication code that exploits the MAC engine, you can instantly take full advantage of the speed these chips offer.

The environment is fully preconfigured to take advantage of the MCU’s 128 KB of in-system programmable banked flash memory, and when simulating and debugging the banking process is virtually transparent to the developer. In addition, the flash memory Code Creation Wizard will generate all the code necessary to erase and rewrite flash memory during program execution.

The source level debugger drives the Silicon Laboratories JTAG emulation cartridge directly. This allows it to make use of the full range of on-chip debug facilities including the hardware data breakpoints and hardware stack overflow and underflow trap.

The 8051 development suite includes a full-featured ANSI C compiler, a relocatable cross assembler, an overlay linker, a source level simulator that can be extended to simulate a complete target system, and a debug monitor that supports source-level debugging on the target system. The suite costs $1,340.
