Infineon Technologies MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2

Overview

MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16-bit F2MC-16FX microcontroller with USB Full-Speed interface, 544 KB on-chip Flash, 32 KB RAM, and integrated CAN 2.0A/B controller. It operates at up to 48 MHz (20.8 ns instruction cycle), features dual clock domains, on-chip voltage regulator, and supports automotive-grade low-power modes including Stop and Timer Wake-up. Used in vehicle body control modules requiring real-time CAN messaging and USB diagnostics.

For engineers reviewing the MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 datasheet, MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 pinout, MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 application, or MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-channel CAN interface with ISO16845 certification, USB Mini-HOST capability, 40-channel 10-bit SAR ADC with external trigger support, programmable pulse generator for PWM timing control, and 144-pin LQFP package with 118 general-purpose I/O pins.

Technical Context

The MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 implements the F2MC-16FX CPU core with instruction pipeline for RISC-like performance and backward compatibility with 16LX software. Its clock system integrates a configurable PLL (×1–×25), dual oscillators (main 3–16 MHz crystal + sub 32–100 kHz quartz), and an internal 100 kHz/2 MHz RC oscillator for fail-safe startup and watchdog operation.

Peripheral architecture includes three independent clock timers (23-/17-bit), eight USARTs with LIN master/slave support, two I²C interfaces (400 kbps), five CAN channels (3 active in this variant), and a 16-channel DMA controller. The alarm comparator monitors external voltages with programmable thresholds, while the on-chip voltage regulator reduces internal VDD to lower EMI and power consumption.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 is housed in a 144-pin plastic LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined across six peripheral buses and dual clock domains, supporting multiplexed/non-multiplexed external bus interface (24-bit address, 8/16-bit data, 6 chip selects).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 CPU?

The CPU achieves up to 48 MHz using the on-chip PLL multiplier (×12 from a 4 MHz ceramic resonator). This yields a minimum instruction cycle time of 20.8 ns. The PLL supports multiplication factors from ×1 to ×25, and the device also accepts external clocks up to 48 MHz directly.

Does the MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2 support USB device and host functionality simultaneously?

No - it supports USB Full-Speed device mode and USB Mini-HOST mode, but not simultaneous dual-role operation. Mini-HOST enables connection to USB peripherals like flash drives or diagnostic dongles, while device mode allows connection to a PC or host controller for firmware updates or data logging.

How many CAN channels are physically implemented and usable in this part number?

Three CAN channels are implemented and fully functional in the MB96F336USAPMC-GSE2. Although the CY96330 series supports up to five CAN interfaces, the "U" suffix variant (USB-enabled) configures exactly three active CAN controllers, each with ISO16845 certification and 32 message objects.

Is external memory expansion supported, and what interface options are available?

Yes - the device includes a full external bus interface with 24-bit addressing, 8/16-bit bidirectional data, six chip select signals, programmable wait states, and support for both multiplexed and non-multiplexed address/data configurations. This enables direct connection to SRAM, NOR Flash, or FPGA co-processors without glue logic.
