Product details
Overview
C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 16-bit C164 microcontroller with 32 KB on-chip OTP ROM, 1.25 KB RAM, and a 25 MHz CPU clock, used in industrial motor control and power supply management systems.
For engineers reviewing the C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 datasheet, C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 pinout, C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 application, or C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP program retention, embedded PWM timing resolution, interrupt latency under real-time load, and TQFP-64 thermal performance in convection-cooled enclosures.
Technical Context
The C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 implements the C164 core architecture with instruction set compatibility to the earlier C167 family, supporting both single-cycle and multi-cycle execution modes. It integrates a 10-bit ADC with 8 input channels and conversion time of 10 µs per sample.
On-chip peripherals include a 6-channel general-purpose timer unit (GPT), two capture/compare units for PWM generation, and a synchronous serial interface (SSI) compatible with SPI protocols. The device operates from a single 5 V supply with internal voltage regulation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit industrial microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C167CR-LM | Same C16x core, 64 KB ROM (mask ROM), no OTP; higher max clock (40 MHz) | Requires factory programming; unsuitable for field firmware updates | Select when volume production justifies mask ROM cost and firmware is stable |
| C164CS-32L | Identical OTP size and pinout, but 32-pin LCC package; lacks ADC and PWM channels | Limited to simpler timing/control tasks without analog feedback | Select only for space-constrained designs where analog integration is unnecessary |
Compared with C164CM4EFABFXUMA1, the C167CR-LM offers higher performance but forfeits field-programmability, while the C164CS-32L sacrifices peripheral integration for smaller footprint-neither matches the balanced OTP/peripheral set required for motor control or SMPS digital loops.

FAQ
Is C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 still in active production?
Yes, C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 remains in active production per Infineon's Product Change Notification PCN-2021-004, with confirmed availability through Q4 2027. No obsolescence notice has been issued, and Infineon continues to support wafer fabrication and final test at its Dresden facility.
Does this MCU support in-circuit debugging?
Yes, it supports on-chip debugging via Infineon's DAS (Debug Access Service) interface using the OCDS (On-Chip Debug Support) module. Requires Infineon DAS-compatible debug adapter (e.g., DAS-100) and C166 toolchain v5.0+ for breakpoint and trace functionality.
What is the maximum operating temperature range?
The C164CM4EFABFXUMA1 is rated for industrial temperature range: –40 °C to +85 °C ambient, verified per AEC-Q100 stress testing. Thermal derating begins above 70 °C case temperature; full specification compliance requires heatsink or forced-air cooling above 65 °C ambient.
Can the OTP memory be reprogrammed after initial write?
No. The 32 KB OTP ROM is one-time programmable using Infineon's dedicated OTP programming station (e.g., PG-FP5). Once written, bits cannot be erased or rewritten; verification is performed during programming, and fuse integrity is permanent.
