Infineon Technologies MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1

Overview

MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16-bit F2MC-16FX microcontroller with integrated CAN 2.0A/B interface, 8/10-bit 27-channel ADC, dual-operation Flash (128.5KB + 32KB), 8KB RAM, and stepping motor controller supporting 4-channel high-current outputs. It operates up to 32 MHz via on-chip PLL (4–8 MHz resonator input), delivers 31.2 ns instruction cycle time, and targets automotive body control modules requiring real-time CAN communication and motor actuation.

For engineers reviewing the MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 datasheet, MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 pinout, MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 application, or MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN protocol compliance (ISO16845), dual-bank Flash for safe firmware updates, sub-32 ns timing resolution, 4-channel SMC with synchronized PWMs, and low-voltage detection with programmable threshold.

Technical Context

The MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 implements the F2MC-16FX CPU core with 8-byte instruction queue, barrel shifter, and signed multiply/divide instructions-enabling deterministic real-time control in automotive subsystems. Its clock tree supports independent domain configuration: CPU at up to 32 MHz (PLL ×8), peripherals at scaled frequencies using main/sub/RC clocks, and RTC operation on 32.768 kHz crystal or calibrated RC source.

Hardware resources include 32 CAN message objects with individual identifier masks, 10-channel 16-bit PPG (configurable as 14×8-bit), and a dedicated stepping motor controller with internal prescaling (1/4 to 1/16) and dual 8/10-bit PWM per channel. The on-chip voltage regulator enables operation down to 2.7 V while minimizing EMI through controlled slew rates and internal power domain isolation.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 CPU core?

The CPU core runs at up to 32 MHz using the internal PLL multiplier (×8) driven by an external 4–8 MHz ceramic resonator. This yields a minimum instruction cycle time of 31.2 ns. The PLL can be bypassed to run directly from the main oscillator or subclock, enabling flexible power/performance trade-offs across 13 low-power operating modes.

Does the MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 support CAN FD or only classical CAN?

The MB96F693ABPMC-GSE1 implements only classical CAN 2.0A/B protocol (ISO11898-1) with bit rates up to 1 Mbps and 32 message objects. It does not support CAN FD features such as flexible data-rate, extended data length, or CRC enhancements. For CAN FD applications, Infineon's TRAVEO™ T2G or AURIX™ families are recommended alternatives.

How many simultaneous stepping motors can the integrated SMC control?

The integrated stepping motor controller supports four independent channels (SMC0–SMC3), each capable of driving one bipolar stepper motor. Each channel provides two synchronized 8/10-bit PWM outputs with programmable dead-time insertion and internal prescaling (1/4 to 1/16), enabling full-step, half-step, and microstepping control without external logic.

Is the Flash memory protected against unauthorized read-out?

Yes, the device includes Flash Security functionality that prevents unintended read-out of program memory contents via serial programming interface or on-chip debugger. Security is enabled by setting lock bits in the Flash configuration area; once activated, read access to secured regions returns dummy data and debug access is disabled until a full chip erase is performed.
