Introduction to Silicon Labs C8051F020 Microcontroller

This chapter gives an overview of the SiLab C8051F020 micro-controller. Onchip peripherals like ADC and DAC, and other features like the crossbar and the voltage reference generator are briefly introduced. While programming using a high level language, such as C, makes it less important to know the intricacies of the hardware architecture of the micro-controller, it is still beneficial to have some knowledge of the memory organization and special function registers. Thus, these are also covered in this chapter.
