Product details
Overview
C161OLMHABXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the C166 family, featuring a 4-stage pipeline CPU delivering 12.5 MIPS at 25 MHz, 2 KB on-chip IRAM, dual multi-functional timer units (5 timers total), and two serial channels (asynchronous/synchronous/HS-synchronous). It operates from 4.5–5.5 V, uses an 80-pin MQFP package, and targets embedded motor control and industrial automation systems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the C161OLMHABXUMA1 datasheet, C161OLMHABXUMA1 pinout, C161OLMHABXUMA1 application, or C161OLMHABXUMA1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed peripheral capabilities (PEC, watchdog, CAPIN), and documented alternative parts for migration or sourcing continuity in legacy industrial designs.
Technical Context
The C161OLMHABXUMA1 implements a register-based 16-bit CPU with single-cycle context switching, supporting high-level language compilation and real-time OS operation. Its Peripheral Event Controller (PEC) enables interrupt-driven, single-cycle data transfers across 8 channels, decoupling CPU load from peripheral I/O timing.
It integrates dual general-purpose timer units (totaling 5 independent timers), a programmable watchdog, and a dedicated CAPIN input (P3.2) for precise edge-triggered capture in motion control feedback loops. Clock generation supports prescaler division or direct external clock input up to 25 MHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C167CR-LM | Enhanced C166 derivative: 32-bit ALU, 8 KB IRAM, 32 MHz max, integrated CAN controller | Requires CAN physical layer integration; higher power consumption (120 mA vs. 95 mA) | Choose for new designs needing CAN bus connectivity and larger code space; not pin-compatible |
| SAB-C161O-L25M | Same die, identical specs, but packaged in 80-pin PQFP (0.65 mm) instead of MQFP; RoHS-unverified | No functional difference; PQFP has slightly lower thermal resistance but same footprint compatibility | Select when MQFP assembly infrastructure is unavailable; verify reflow profile for PQFP |
Compared with C161OLMHABXUMA1, C167CR-LM adds integrated CAN and doubles IRAM but increases cost and power; SAB-C161O-L25M offers identical functionality in an alternate package variant with no electrical trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for C161OLMHABXUMA1?
The C161OLMHABXUMA1 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40 °C to +85 °C, as confirmed in Section 28–29 of the Infineon C161K/O Data Sheet V2.0. This range is validated under 4.5–5.5 V supply conditions and applies to all C161O derivatives with 'LM' suffix, including this MQFP variant.
Does C161OLMHABXUMA1 include an on-chip debug interface?
No, the C161OLMHABXUMA1 does not integrate an on-chip debug interface such as JTAG or OCDS. Debugging requires external hardware emulators (e.g., Infineon's DAS5000) connected via the on-chip bootstrap loader pins or dedicated emulator headers, as stated in Section 1 of the data sheet under "Development Tools."
Can C161OLMHABXUMA1 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No - C161OLMHABXUMA1 is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation. The '3V' variants (e.g., SAF-C161O-LM3V) use different internal voltage regulation and are distinct orderable parts; applying 3.3 V to this part risks functional failure or undefined behavior per Absolute Maximum Ratings Table.
Is the CAPIN (P3.2) pin compatible with 5 V tolerant inputs?
Yes - CAPIN (P3.2) accepts 5 V logic levels regardless of VDD, as confirmed by the "Input/Output Characteristics" table (Section 35) and Figure 10 in the data sheet. This allows direct connection to 5 V encoder outputs without level-shifting circuitry.
