Product details
Overview
C161OLMHAFXUMA1 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), two serial channels (asynchronous/synchronous/HS-synchronous), and 63 general-purpose I/O lines. It operates from 4.5–5.5 V and targets cost-sensitive industrial control and motor drive applications.
For engineers reviewing the C161OLMHAFXUMA1 datasheet, C161OLMHAFXUMA1 pinout, C161OLMHAFXUMA1 application, or C161OLMHAFXUMA1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 80-pin MQFP package, 25 MHz max clock, 2 KB IRAM, 4 chip-select outputs, and SAF-C161O-L25M derivative identification with integrated CAPIN input and watchdog timer support.
Technical Context
The C161OLMHAFXUMA1 implements a register-based 16-bit CPU with single-cycle context switching, 16 MByte linear address space, and hardware-supported Boolean bit manipulation. Its peripheral event controller (PEC) enables interrupt-driven, single-cycle data transfers across 8 channels.
It supports multiple clock generation modes-including external crystal (XTAL1/XTAL2), prescaled internal oscillator, or direct clock input-and features programmable bus timing for multiplexed/demultiplexed 8-/16-bit external buses with four chip-select signals and configurable wait-state insertion.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Closed-loop control of 3-phase BLDC motors using hall-effect feedback and PWM output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Real-time execution of FOC algorithms, capture of encoder edges via CAPIN, and generation of synchronized 3-phase PWM via timer units. Use Value: 40 ns interrupt sampling and single-cycle PEC transfers ensure sub-microsecond jitter in commutation timing. | Use Scenario: Modular I/O processing unit handling discrete input scanning and relay output sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central controller managing scan cycle timing, digital I/O state buffering, and serial Modbus RTU communication. Use Value: Dual serial channels allow concurrent HMI interface (UART) and fieldbus master (HS-SYNC) without CPU overhead. |
| Embedded Power Supply Monitoring | Factory Automation Gateways |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridge processor executing protocol stacks, managing dual serial interfaces, and buffering data in 2 KB IRAM. Use Value: 4 chip-selects enable direct connection to UART transceivers, Ethernet MAC SPI interface, and configuration EEPROM without glue logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAB-C161O-L25M | Same die, identical electrical specs, but packaged in ceramic PGA instead of MQFP | Limited to high-reliability mil/aero use due to PGA thermal/mechanical robustness | Select only when MQFP reflow compatibility or board space constraints do not apply |
| C167CR-LM | Enhanced C166 derivative with 32 KB on-chip flash, higher 66 MHz clock, and CAN 2.0B controller | Requires CAN physical layer support and larger code footprint; not drop-in compatible | Choose when upgrading from C161O for CAN-based distributed control without changing PCB layout |
Compared with SAB-C161O-L25M and C167CR-LM, the C161OLMHAFXUMA1 offers optimal cost-performance balance for non-CAN, fixed-function industrial controllers where MQFP assembly and 2 KB IRAM are sufficient - avoiding overdesign while maintaining full C166 software compatibility.

FAQ
What is the function of the CAPIN pin (P3.2) on the C161OLMHAFXUMA1?
The CAPIN pin (P3.2) is a dedicated edge-triggered input for the input capture function of Timer 2. It latches the current timer value on rising or falling edges, enabling precise measurement of pulse width, period, or time between external events such as encoder index pulses or fault signals. This capability is essential for high-accuracy motion control timing.
Does the C161OLMHAFXUMA1 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes - the device includes an on-chip bootstrap loader activated by asserting MRST (P3.8) during power-up. This ROM-resident loader supports serial programming via UART channel 0 using standard ASCII-based command protocols, eliminating the need for external EPROM programmers in field updates or initial firmware loading.
How many chip-select signals does the C161OLMHAFXUMA1 provide, and what is their purpose?
The C161OLMHAFXUMA1 provides four active-low chip-select outputs (CS0–CS3) on Port 6 pins. These signals decode external memory or peripheral address ranges, allowing independent access to up to four distinct 64 KB regions in the 4 MB external address space. Each CS can be individually configured for wait-state insertion and bus width (8/16-bit).
Is the C161OLMHAFXUMA1 pin-compatible with other C161O variants like the SAF-C161O-LM?
Yes - all C161O derivatives in the 80-pin MQFP package, including SAF-C161O-LM and SAF-C161O-L25M, share identical pinouts and signal assignments. The C161OLMHAFXUMA1 corresponds to the SAF-C161O-L25M variant (25 MHz, 5 V, with CAPIN and watchdog), ensuring full hardware compatibility across this package family.
