Infineon Technologies CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1

Overview

CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16-bit F2MC-16FX microcontroller with integrated CAN 2.0A/B interface, 256.5KB+32KB Flash, 16KB RAM, and 75 I/O pins in LQFP-100 package. It features an on-chip PLL enabling up to 32MHz CPU operation from a 4–8MHz resonator, 8/10-bit 27-channel SAR ADC, dual-operation Flash, and stepping motor controller supporting four channels with integrated high-current drivers - deployed in automotive body control modules requiring deterministic real-time CAN communication and motor actuation.

For engineers reviewing the CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 datasheet, CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 pinout, CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 application, or CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN bit-rate support up to 1 Mbps, 32-message object FIFO with maskable interrupts, sub-31.2ns instruction cycle time, low-voltage detection with programmable threshold, and hardware watchdog with window function for ASIL-B–aligned safety monitoring.

Technical Context

The CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 implements the F2MC-16FX CPU core with 8-byte instruction queue, barrel shifter, and signed multiply/divide instructions - delivering RISC-like performance while maintaining binary compatibility with legacy F2MC-16LX software. Its clock tree supports independent domain selection: CPU, peripheral bus 1 (CLKP1), and peripheral bus 2 (CLKP2), each configurable from main oscillator (4–8MHz), 32.768kHz subclock, or 100kHz/2MHz RC source.

Peripheral integration includes ISO16845-certified CAN controller with 32 message objects, LIN-capable USARTs (2 with 16-byte FIFO), 5×16-bit reload timers, 2×16-bit free-running timers, 6×16-bit input capture units, and a dedicated stepping motor controller with two synchronized 8/10-bit PWMs per channel and internal prescaling options (1, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1?

The CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 is rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. This rating is validated per the device's DC and AC characteristics in Section 14.2 of the official datasheet (002-04717 Rev. *D), with thermal derating applied above 85°C for sustained 32 MHz operation.

Does CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 support JTAG debugging?

No - CY96F696RBPMC-GS-UJE1 uses a proprietary one-wire On-Chip Debugger (OCD) interface, not JTAG. Debugging requires Infineon's CY8CKIT-002 or compatible OCD probe with SWD-compatible firmware. The interface supports hardware breakpoints, trace, and real-time execution measurement but does not expose standard JTAG TAP signals or boundary-scan functionality.

Can the on-chip voltage regulator be disabled to use external Vcore?

No - the internal voltage regulator is fixed-function and cannot be disabled. It generates a stable 3.3 V core supply from the 2.7–5.5 V VCC input, and all internal logic, Flash, and peripherals operate exclusively from this regulated rail. External core supply is not supported; bypassing the regulator would violate absolute maximum ratings and cause functional failure.

Is the stepping motor controller compatible with bipolar stepper motors?

Yes - the integrated SMC supports both unipolar and bipolar stepper configurations. Each of the four SMC outputs can be configured as high-side or low-side drivers, and complementary PWM pairs enable full H-bridge control when external external MOSFETs are used. Internal drivers are rated for unipolar operation; bipolar drive requires external half-bridge transistors controlled via PPG outputs and ICU feedback.
