#190584 - Very good DAC's
Responding to: ???'s previous message

The DACs work very well, and it is the cheapest MCU at Digikey with >=10b DAC.
Tests indicate you can INC(DACH) at 36MHz for controlled ramps.

72MHz, no jump cache.

There is a small cache, that complicates timing above 25Mhz, but tests indicate if you use
ALIGN 4
then opcodes like DJNZ Rn,$ and JNB Bit,$ can execute in the cache at full speed.

Fair mix of peripherals. 3V-only (with some 5V tolerance), as is usual with SiLabs.

OTOH, prices start at a very pleasant sub-$, top $2.


Yes, good prices and like the EFM8UB1, this has small FIFOs on the i2c Slave & SPI & UARTS.

The i2c Slave is an Async block, so you can vary the Oscillator and communicate fine.

Looks ideally suited as a slave to Raspberry Pi's

... and the very first item in errata is, ehm, disturbing...

Yes, but they are fixing that.

However, missing is the ability to hit full core speed with a Crystal.
100MHz timers would have been nice too...
