Product details
Overview
C161PILFCABXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the C166 family, featuring a 4-stage pipeline CPU with 80 ns instruction cycle at 25 MHz, 10-bit ADC (7.8 µs conversion), I²C interface (400 kHz), and on-chip PLL clock generation (1:1.5 to 1:5). It serves as a cost-optimized control unit for industrial motor drives and embedded automation systems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the C161PILFCABXUMA1 datasheet, C161PILFCABXUMA1 pinout, C161PILFCABXUMA1 application, or C161PILFCABXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-pin TQFP package, 16 MByte linear address space, 27-source interrupt system with 40 ns sample rate, and dual serial channels supporting synchronous/asynchronous and high-speed synchronous modes.
Technical Context
The C161PILFCABXUMA1 implements a register-based 16-bit CPU architecture with single-cycle context switching, multiple variable register banks, and enhanced Boolean bit manipulation instructions optimized for HLL and RTOS support. Its peripheral event controller (PEC) enables interrupt-driven, single-cycle data transfers across eight channels.
On-chip clock generation uses a programmable PLL with selectable division ratios (1:1.5/2/2.5/3/4/5), prescaler, or direct external clock input. The 10-bit ADC supports programmable conversion time down to 7.8 µs and shares pins with Port 5, which functions as a 6-bit Schmitt-trigger input port with analog channel multiplexing (AN0–AN3).

| Embedded Automation Controller | Industrial Communication Gateway |
|

Use Value: Hardware-assisted UART framing and I²C arbitration reduce firmware complexity and eliminate timing-critical bit-banging in protocol stacks. |
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 | Higher CPU performance (10 MIPS), 8 KByte XRAM, enhanced CAN interface (not present in C161PI); larger die size and higher power consumption. | Targeted at automotive body control modules requiring CAN FD compliance and extended temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C). | Select when CAN bus integration and >8 MIPS throughput are mandatory; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and peripheral register differences. |
| SAB-C161CS-LM | Same C166 core but lacks on-chip PLL, I²C interface, and RTC; reduced peripheral set and no PEC; identical 100-pin TQFP footprint. | Used in cost-constrained consumer appliances where only basic timer/UART/ADC functionality is required. | Valid pin-compatible replacement if PLL, I²C, and RTC are unused; requires firmware modification to disable unsupported peripherals. |
Compared with C167CR-LM and SAB-C161CS-LM, the C161PILFCABXUMA1 delivers optimal balance of integrated peripherals (I²C, RTC, PEC), deterministic real-time latency (40 ns interrupt sampling), and industrial-grade packaging-making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive yet feature-rich embedded controllers where CAN is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the C161PILFCABXUMA1 CPU core?
The C161PILFCABXUMA1 CPU operates at up to 25 MHz, delivering an 80 ns instruction cycle time. This frequency is achieved using the on-chip PLL configured for 1:1.5 or higher multiplication of a 16.67 MHz crystal, or directly from an external 25 MHz clock applied to XTAL1. The core does not support frequencies above 25 MHz per the 1999 datasheet specifications.
Does the C161PILFCABXUMA1 support CAN bus communication?
No, the C161PILFCABXUMA1 does not include a CAN controller or physical layer interface. Its serial peripherals consist of two UARTs (one with high-speed synchronous mode) and an I²C interface. CAN functionality requires external transceivers and software-implemented protocol stacks, which are not supported by on-chip hardware resources.
How many analog input channels does the on-chip ADC support?
The C161PILFCABXUMA1 integrates a single 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with four dedicated analog input channels: AN0 through AN3, mapped to P5.0–P5.3. These pins are shared with Port 5, a 6-bit Schmitt-trigger input port, and cannot be used simultaneously for digital I/O and analog acquisition.
Is the C161PILFCABXUMA1 pin-compatible with other C166-family microcontrollers?
The C161PILFCABXUMA1 uses a 100-pin TQFP package with a unique pinout defined in Infineon's 1999 datasheet. While it shares the same package outline as some C167 derivatives, signal assignments (e.g., PEC, I²C, PLL pins) differ significantly. Pin compatibility is limited to the SAB-C161CS-LM variant, which omits several peripherals but retains identical pin mapping for core functions.
