Infineon Technologies MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2

Overview

MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16-bit F2MC-16FX microcontroller with dual-clock architecture, 544 KB on-chip Flash, 32 KB RAM, integrated CAN 2.0B interface (1 channel), USB Full-Speed function, and 40-channel 10-bit SAR ADC. It operates up to 48 MHz via internal PLL driven by a 4 MHz external resonator and targets automotive body control modules requiring real-time I/O, low-power sleep modes, and robust communication.

For engineers reviewing the MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 datasheet, MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 pinout, MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 application, or MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-clock domain support (main + sub-oscillator), USB Mini-HOST capability, programmable pulse generator (20 channels), alarm comparator (2 channels), and Flash security features for firmware protection in safety-critical embedded systems.

Technical Context

The MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 implements the F2MC-16FX CPU core with instruction pipeline for RISC-like performance, backward-compatible with 16LX software. It supports three independent clock domains-CPU, peripheral bus 1, and peripheral bus 2-with selectable sources including 32–100 kHz sub-oscillator, 3–16 MHz main oscillator, and 100 kHz/2 MHz on-chip RC oscillator.

Its system-level timing architecture includes a clock modulator for EMI reduction, on-chip voltage regulator for internal CPU voltage scaling, and 13 configurable power modes (Run, Sleep, Timer, Stop). The CAN controller is ISO16845 certified, supports bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s, and offers 32 message objects with maskable interrupts and loop-back self-test mode.

FAQ

Does MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 support CAN FD?

No. This device implements only CAN 2.0A/B protocol compliant with ISO 11898-1:2003. It does not support CAN FD framing, higher bit rates beyond 1 Mbit/s, or extended data length. For CAN FD applications, consider Infineon's AURIX™ TC3xx family instead.

What is the maximum operating temperature range for this MCU?

The MB96F336UWAPMC-GSK5E2 is rated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 standards. Its on-chip voltage regulator and clock modulation circuit maintain stable operation across this range without derating.

Can the USB interface operate in host-only mode?

No. The USB peripheral supports device mode and Mini-HOST mode only-not full host stack implementation. Mini-HOST enables enumeration of standard USB class devices (e.g., HID, MSC) but requires external PHY and does not support USB hub or complex descriptor parsing.

Is the Flash memory field-programmable via JTAG or SWD?

Yes. Programming and debugging are supported via JTAG interface using Infineon's DAPLink-compatible debug adapters. Flash can be erased and reprogrammed in-system without removing the device, with security lock bits preventing unauthorized access post-deployment.
