Bulletin Details
Description:
Silicon Labs is pleased to announce that version 1.3 of the C8051F58x/59x data sheet is now available.
All items below have been included in this revision of the data sheet. The revision includes:
Power-On Reset may fail for devices shipped prior to date code 1124
- Added a note regarding an issue with /RST low time on some older devices to section 17.1 Power-On
Reset on page 153.
This issue was previously documented in the errata and has now been moved to the data sheet section
17.1 Power-On Reset on page 153. It has been removed from the errata.
Note: For devices with a date code before year 2011, work week 24 (1124), if the /RST pin is held low for
more than 1 second while power is applied to the device, and then /RST is released, a percentage of
devices may lock up and fail to execute code. Toggling the /RST pin does not clear the condition. The
condition is cleared by cycling power. Most devices that are affected will show the lock up behavior only
within a narrow range of temperatures (a 5 to 10 degrees C window). Parts with a date code of year 2011,
work week 24 (1124) or later do not have any restrictions on /RST low time. The date code of a device is
a four-digit number on the bottom-most line of each device with the format YYWW, where YY is the twodigit calendar year and WW is the two digit work week.
Use VDD Monitor low threshold setting during normal operation
– Added the note regarding the voltage regulator and VDD monitor in the high setting from section 17.2
Power-Fail Reset/VDD Monitor on page 154 to section 10 Voltage Regulator (REG0) on page 89 and section
15.4.1 VDD Maintenance and the VDD monitor on page 143.
This note already existed in section 17 Reset Sources on page 152, and has been added to additional
locations to make it more prominent.
Note: The output of the internal voltage regulator is calibrated by the MCU immediately after any reset
event. The output of the un-calibrated internal regulator could be below the high threshold setting of the
VDD Monitor. If this is the case and the VDD Monitor is set to the high threshold setting and if the MCU
receives a non-power on reset (POR), the MCU will remain in reset until a POR occurs (i.e., VDD Monitor
will keep the device in reset). A POR will force the VDD Monitor to the low threshold setting which is
guaranteed to be below the un-calibrated output of the internal regulator. The device will then exit reset
and resume normal operation. It is for this reason Silicon Labs strongly recommends that the VDD Monitor
is always left in the low threshold setting (i.e. default value upon POR).

Use VDD Monitor high setting only when writing Flash
– Updated step 4 in section 15.4.1 VDD Maintenance and the VDD monitor on page 143 to mention using
the VDD monitor in the high setting during flash write/erase operations. To ensure the highest system
reliability, firmware can change the VDD Monitor high threshold, and the system must use an external
supply monitor.
This step previously mentioned using the VDD monitor, but did not specify that the VDD monitor must be
in the high setting in order to write to flash.
Note: The output of the internal voltage regulator is calibrated by the MCU immediately after any reset
event. The output of the un-calibrated internal regulator could be below the high threshold setting of the
VDD Monitor. If this is the case, and the MCU receives a non-power on reset (POR) when the VDD Monitor
is set to the high threshold setting, the MCU will remain in reset until a POR occurs (i.e., VDD Monitor will
keep the device in reset). A POR will force the VDD Monitor to the low threshold setting, which is
guaranteed to be below the un-calibrated output of the internal regulator. The device will then exit reset
and resume normal operation. It is for this reason Silicon Labs strongly recommends that the VDD Monitor
is always left in the low threshold setting (i.e. default value upon POR). When programming the Flash insystem, the VDD Monitor must be set to the high threshold setting. To prevent this issue from happening
and ensure the highest system reliability, firmware can change the VDD Monitor high threshold, and the
system must use an external supply monitor. For instructions on how to do this, see “Reprogramming the
VDD Monitor High Threshold” on page 138.
Set ZTCEN before entering oscillator suspend
– Updated the SUSPEND bit description in SFR Definition 19.2 OSCICN register on page 179 to mention that
firmware must set the ZTCEN bit in SFR Definition 8.1 REF0CN on page 76 before entering suspend.
This information was already present as a note in data sheet section 16.3 Suspend Mode on page 150, and
has been added to the bit description to make it more prominent.
Internal Oscillator Suspend Enable Bit
Before entering suspend mode, firmware must set the ZTCEN bit in REF0CN
IFRDY flag does not accurately reflect the state of the oscillator
– Added a note to the IFRDY flag in the SFR Definition 19.2 OSCICN register on page 179 that the flag may
not accurately reflect the state of the oscillator.
IFRDY Internal Oscillator Frequency Ready Flag.
Note: This flag may not accurately reflect the state of the oscillator. Firmware should not use this
flag to determine if the oscillator is running.
VDD ramp time max 1 ms for power on specification
– Added VDD Ramp Time max 1 ms for Power On spec to Table 5.4 Reset Electrical Characteristics on page
48.
This specification was previously mentioned in section 15.4.1 VDD Maintenance and the VDD monitor on
page 143. It is now added to the electrical specifications to make it more prominent.

Limited cold programming temperature range for industrial grade (-I) devices
– Added a note regarding programming at cold temperatures on –I devices to section 15.1 Programming
The Flash Memory on page 138 and added Temperature during Programming Operations specification to
Table 5.5 Flash Electrical Characteristics on page 48.
This specification was previously documented in the errata and has now been moved to the data sheet. It
has been removed from the errata.
For –I (Industrial Grade) parts, parts programmed at a cold temperature below 0 °C may exhibit weakly
programmed flash memory bits. If programmed at 0 °C or higher, there is no problem reading Flash across
the entire temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C. This temperature restriction does not apply to –A
(Automotive Grade) devices.
VREF pin cannot operate as open-drain when VDD selected as reference source
– Added a note regarding P0.0/VREF when VDD is used as the reference to Table 20.1 Port I/O Assignment
for Analog Functions on page 191 and to the description of the REFSL bit in SFR Definition 8.1 REF0CN
register on page 76.
This issue was previously documented in the errata and has now been moved to the data sheet. It has
been removed from the errata.
If VDD is selected as the voltage reference in the REF0CN register and the ADC is enabled in the
ADC0CN register, the P0.0/VREF pin cannot operate as a general purpose I/O pin in open-drain
mode. With the above settings, this pin can operate in push-pull output mode or as an analog
input.
GPIO may have indeterminate state for fast VIO ramp
– Added a note regarding a potential unknown state on GPIO during power up if VIO ramps significantly
before VDD to section 20 Port Input/Output on page 188 and section 17 Reset Sources on page 152.
Note: When VIO rises faster than VDD, which can happen when VREGIN and VIO are tied together, a delay
created between GPIO power (VIO) and the logic controlling GPIO (VDD) results in a temporary unknown
state at the GPIO pins. Cross coupling VIO and VDD with a 4.7 μF capacitor mitigates the root cause of the
problem by allowing VIO and VDD to rise at the same rate.
Set FLEWT bit before writing or erasing flash
– Added steps to set the FLEWT bit in the SFR Definition 15.3 FLSCL register on page 147 in section 15.1.3
Flash Erase Procedure on page 139, section 15.1.4 Flash Write Procedure on page 139, and section 15.1.5
Flash Write Optimization on page 140.
This requirement was previously documented in the bit description for the FLEWT bit, and it’s been
added to the procedures to make it more prominent.
FLEWT Flash Erase Write Time Control.
This bit should be set to 1b before Writing or Erasing Flash.
0: Short Flash Erase / Write Timing.
1: Extended Flash Erase / Write Timing.

Change VDD monitor to high threshold and use external supply monitor for systems that require
programming flash in-system
- Added a section regarding steps to reprogram the VDD monitor high threshold in section 15.1.1
Reprogramming the VDD Monitor High Threshold on page 138.
- Recommendation is to add external supply monitor for systems that require programming flash insystem on section 15.1.1 Reprogramming the VDD Monitor High Threshold on page 138.
The output of the internal voltage regulator is calibrated by the MCU immediately after any reset event.
The output of the un-calibrated internal regulator could be below the high threshold setting of the VDD
Monitor.
If this is the case and the VDD Monitor is set to the high threshold setting and if the MCU receives a nonpower on reset (POR), the MCU will remain in reset until a POR occurs (i.e., VDD Monitor will keep the
device in reset). A POR will force the VDD Monitor to the low threshold setting which is guaranteed to be
below the un-calibrated output of the internal regulator. The device will then exit reset and resume
normal operation. It is for this reason Silicon Labs strongly recommends that the VDD Monitor is always
left in the low threshold setting (i.e. default value upon POR). When programming the Flash in-system,
the VDD Monitor must be set to the high threshold setting.
To prevent this issue from happening and ensure the highest system reliability, firmware can change the
VDD
Monitor high threshold and use an external supply monitor that meets the Flash VDD requirement listed
in Table 5.5 on page 48. To change the VDD Monitor high threshold, perform the following steps:
1. Disable interrupts.
2. Write 0x01 to the SFRPAGE register.
3. Copy the value from SFR address 0x93 to SFR address 0x94.
4. Return the SFRPAGE register to its previous value.
VDD monitor may trigger on fast VDD changes
– Added a note regarding fast changes on VDD causing the VDD Monitor to trigger to section 17.2 PowerFail Reset/VDD Monitor on page 154.
Note: The VDD Monitor may trigger on fast changes in voltage on the VDD pin, regardless of whether the
voltage increased or decreased.
UART TX THRE0 bit may return incorrect status
– Added notes regarding UART TX and RX behavior in section 24.3.1 Data Transmission on page 259,
section 24.3.2 Data Reception on page 259.
Note: THRE0 can have a momentary glitch high when the UART Transmit Holding Register is not empty.
The glitch will occur sometime after SBUF0 was written with the previous byte and does not occur if
THRE0 is checked in the instruction(s) immediately following the write to SBUF0. When firmware writes
SBUF0 and SBUF0 is not empty, TX0 will be stuck low until the next device reset. Firmware should use or
poll on TI0 rather than THRE0 for asynchronous UART writes that may have a random delay in between
transactions.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
UART RX may overrun on simultaneous FIFO read/write
– Added notes regarding UART RX behavior in section 24.3.2 Data Reception on page 260.
Note: The UART Receive FIFO pointer can be corrupted if the UART receives a byte and firmware reads a
byte from the FIFO at the same time. When this occurs, firmware will lose the received byte and the FIFO
receive overrun flag (OVR0) will also be set to 1. Systems using the UART Receive FIFO should ensure that
the FIFO isn’t accessed by hardware and firmware at the same time. In other words, firmware should
ensure to read the FIFO before the next byte is received.
Included crystal oscillator electrical characteristics
– Added Table 5.8 Crystal Oscillator Electrical Characteristics on page 50. The table includes crystal
frequency and crystal drive current specifications.
This information was not documented in the data sheet before.
Use software-controlled startup sequence to reliably start crystal oscillator
– Added a note regarding surface mount crystals and drive current in section 19.4.1 External Crystal
Example on page 185
Note: Small surface mount crystals can have maximum drive level specifications that are exceeded by the
above XFCN recommendations. In these cases, a software-controlled startup sequence may be used to
reliably start the crystal using a higher XFCN setting, and then lowering the XFCN setting once the
oscillator has started to reduce the drive level and prevent damage or premature aging of the crystal. In
all cases, the drive level should be measured to ensure that the crystal is being driven within its
operational guidelines as part of robust oscillator system design. Contact technical support for additional
details and recommendations if using surface mount crystals with these devices.
No delay requirement after enabling VDD monitor and before enabling it as reset source
– Removed recommendations to introduce a delay after enabling the VDD Monitor before enabling it as a
reset source in 17.2 Power-Fail Reset/VDD Monitor on page 154.
The step "If necessary, wait for VDD monitor to stabilize" in the previous data sheet was removed.
