YOUR MCU SHOULD WORK FOR YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. IS YOUR MCU MAKING YOUR JOB HARDER THAN IT HAS TO BE? Introducing Precision32 ™ 32-bit mixed-signal MCUs engineered to make your job easier. With highly-integrated analog and peripherals and a patented dual-crossbar for maximum design flexibility, Silicon Labs’ Precision32™ 32-bit microcontrollers work for you. These mixed-signal MCUs are integrated with useful features not typically found in other MCUs: • USB oscillator for full crystal-less operation • 5 V regulator to operate directly off USB • 6 programmable high-drive pins that can provide up to 300 mA of current • 16 capacitive sensing input channels for touch buttons or sliders And the integrated analog is highly configurable—choose from 28 analog to digital channels with multiple modes (including 8, 10, 12-bit), interleaving mode (up to 2 Msps sampling), programmable auto scan to switch between channels without CPU intervention and burst mode to auto average up to 64 samples. AppBuilder Drag-and-Drop Rapid Code Generation Utility Easily customize your design! The free Precision32 Eclipse-based IDE and AppBuilder drag-and-drop GUI allow you to easily set-up and adjust pin configuration, map peripherals, configure clocking trees and even generate source code—all without wading through the data sheet to configure registers. Need MCUs that work for you? No problem. Download white papers, data sheets, free software drivers and tools, and order hardware to start prototyping today. www.silabs.com/32bit-MCU © 2012 Silicon Laboratories Inc. All rights reserved.
