FAQ

Is CY96F612ABPMC-GS-122UJE1 qualified for automotive use?

Yes. It is fully qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40°C to +125°C), with test reports covering HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per JESD22 standards. The device undergoes lot-by-lot qualification and includes on-die thermal sensors for runtime monitoring.

Does this MCU support in-circuit debugging?

Yes. It features a JTAG interface compliant with IEEE 1149.1, supporting full-speed debugging, hardware breakpoints, watchpoints, and real-time trace via the on-chip debug module. No external debug probe is required beyond standard JTAG adapters.

What is the maximum operating frequency of the CPU core?

The C166SV2 core operates at up to 40 MHz using the internal PLL, which accepts 1–20 MHz crystal input. At 40 MHz, instruction execution achieves 20 MIPS with zero-wait-state flash access enabled by prefetch buffer.

Can the onboard ADC measure negative voltages?

No. The ADC is unipolar and references VREF+ (typically VDDA) and VREF− (VSSA). Input voltage range is 0 V to VREF+, with absolute maximum ratings limiting inputs to -0.3 V to VDDA + 0.3 V to prevent damage.
