Infineon Technologies CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1

Overview

CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 from Infineon Technologies is a 16-bit microcontroller with 160 KB on-chip flash memory, 12 KB SRAM, and integrated CAN 2.0B controller, operating at up to 48 MHz. It targets automotive body electronics such as door control modules and lighting ECUs where real-time CAN communication, EEPROM emulation, and robust I/O are required.

For engineers reviewing the CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 datasheet, CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 pinout, CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 application, or CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN timing accuracy (±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C), flash endurance (100k write/erase cycles), and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification for automotive use.

Technical Context

This MCU belongs to Infineon's CYPRESS TRAVEO™ T2G family, built on a 40 nm process with dual-bank flash architecture enabling read-while-write operation. It integrates a programmable 12-bit ADC with 16 channels, a 32-bit watchdog timer with windowing, and hardware CRC engine for firmware integrity verification.

The device supports multiple low-power modes including Deep Sleep (1.5 µA typical) with wake-up via CAN, GPIO, or RTC. Its clock system includes a precision internal oscillator (±2% over temperature) and supports external crystal (4–20 MHz) or ceramic resonator input for CAN bit timing stability.

FAQ

What is the maximum CAN bit rate supported by CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1?

The device supports CAN 2.0B with a maximum bit rate of 1 Mbps. This is achieved using the internal clock divider and external crystal (e.g., 8 MHz) with programmable timing registers. Bit timing accuracy remains within ±1.5% across the full AEC-Q100 temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), ensuring reliable arbitration and error detection in automotive networks.

Does CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 include hardware security features?

Yes - it integrates a hardware CRC engine for firmware image validation and flash sector integrity checking, plus parity protection on all SRAM blocks. While it does not include a dedicated cryptographic accelerator or secure boot ROM, its CRC and memory protection mechanisms support ASIL-B compliance when implemented with appropriate software layers per ISO 26262.

Can this MCU operate from a single 3.3 V supply?

Yes - CY96F615ABPMC-GS-UJF4E1 uses a single 3.3 V nominal supply for both core and I/O domains. The internal voltage regulator provides stable core voltage; external 3.3 V must be clean (±5% tolerance, <100 mV ripple) and decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitors near each VDD pin per the layout guidelines in the TRAVEO™ T2G Hardware Design Guide.

Is external crystal mandatory for CAN operation?

No - an external crystal is recommended for CAN timing accuracy but not mandatory. The device can use its internal precision oscillator (±2% over temperature) for basic CAN operation up to 500 kbps. For full 1 Mbps operation with ±1.5% timing tolerance across temperature, an external 8 MHz crystal connected to XTAL_IN/XTAL_OUT is required per the CAN timing specification in the TRAVEO™ T2G Peripheral Manual.
