C8051F52x-53x
1.5. Programmable Comparator
C8051F52x/F53x devices include a software-configurable voltage comparator with an input multiplexer.
The comparator offers programmable response time and hysteresis and an output that is optionally avail-
able at the Port pins: a synchronous “latched” output (CP0). The comparator interrupt may be generated
on rising, falling, or both edges. When in IDLE or SUSPEND mode, these interrupts may be used as a
“wake-up” source for the processor. The Comparator may also be configured as a reset source. A block
diagram of the comparator is shown in Figure 1.6.

1.6. Voltage Regulator
C8051F52x/F53x devices include an on-chip low dropout voltage regulator (REG0). The input to REG0 at
the V pin can be as high as 5.25 V. The output can be selected by software to 2.1 or 2.6 V. When
REGIN
enabled, the output of REG0 powers the device and drives the V pin. The voltage regulator can be used
DD
to power external devices connected to V
.

1.7. Serial Port
The C8051F52x/F53x Family includes a full-duplex UART with enhanced baud rate configuration, and an
Enhanced SPI interface. Each of the serial buses is fully implemented in hardware and makes extensive
use of the CIP-51's interrupts, thus requiring very little CPU intervention.
