Product details
Overview
KX161CJ16F40FBBNT from Infineon Technologies is a 16-bit automotive-grade MCU with 128KB on-chip Flash, 8KB RAM, and integrated CAN 2.0B controller. It operates at up to 40 MHz, supports LIN 2.2 via UART, and features a 10-bit ADC with 16 channels. Used in body control modules for door lock actuation and window lift control.
For engineers reviewing the KX161CJ16F40FBBNT datasheet, KX161CJ16F40FBBNT pinout, KX161CJ16F40FBBNT application, or KX161CJ16F40FBBNT equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN/LIN coexistence, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, Flash write endurance (100k cycles), and temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
This MCU implements a C166S V2 core with memory protection unit (MPU) and power management unit (PMU) supporting sleep modes down to 1.5 µA. It integrates a programmable watchdog timer with windowing capability and hardware CRC calculation unit for firmware integrity verification.
The peripheral set includes three 16-bit timers with capture/compare, two synchronous serial interfaces (SSC) configurable as SPI/I²S, and a dedicated SENT interface for sensor data transmission. All peripherals are clocked from a PLL-synchronized system clock derived from an external crystal or internal RC oscillator.
