Infineon Technologies MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2

Overview

MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16-bit F2MC-16FX microcontroller with CAN 2.0A/B interface, 32 MHz CPU operation via on-chip PLL, 8/10-bit SAR ADC, and integrated stepping motor controller. It features dual-bank flash for concurrent read/program, hardware watchdog with window function, and 13 low-power operating modes. Used in automotive body control modules requiring real-time CAN messaging and motor actuation.

For engineers reviewing the MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2 datasheet, MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2 pinout, MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2 application, or MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2 equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN bit-rate support up to 1 Mbps, 32-message-object FIFO configuration, sub-31.2 ns instruction cycle time, and integrated high-current stepping motor driver outputs with synchronized PWM.

Technical Context

The device implements the F2MC-16FX architecture with an 8-byte instruction queue, signed multiply/divide instructions, and 23 addressing modes optimized for embedded control. Its clock system supports independent domain selection-CPU, peripheral clock domain A, and peripheral clock domain B-each configurable from main oscillator (4–8 MHz), 32.768 kHz subclock, or 100 kHz/2 MHz RC source.

Real-time peripherals include three independent clock timers (23-/17-bit), four reload timers with event-count capability, and a programmable pulse generator supporting PWM and one-shot modes with trigger-synchronized ADC start. The stepping motor controller integrates four high-current outputs per channel and two synchronized 8/10-bit PWMs with selectable prescaling (1/4 to 1/16).

FAQ

What is the maximum CAN bit rate supported by MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2?

The device supports CAN bit rates up to 1 Mbps, verified per ISO11898-2 and confirmed in the CAN timing section of datasheet 002-04715 Rev. *C. This is achievable with proper bus termination, transceiver selection, and oscillator tolerance within ±0.5% at 8 MHz main clock input.

Does MB96F6A6RBPMC-GSE2 support simultaneous flash read and write operations?

Yes-it features dual-operation flash memory with two independent banks, allowing code execution from one bank while programming or erasing the other. This capability is implemented in hardware and requires no external memory or software workarounds.

Can the integrated stepping motor controller drive bipolar stepper motors directly?

Yes-the four high-current outputs per channel support full-H-bridge configurations for bipolar steppers. Each channel provides two synchronized 8/10-bit PWMs with independently programmable duty cycles and phase alignment, enabling microstepping control without external gate drivers.

Is the on-chip debugger interface compatible with standard JTAG tools?

No-it uses a proprietary one-wire debug interface defined in the CY966A0 series documentation. Debugging requires Cypress/Infineon's MiniProg3 or KitProg2 programmers and associated PSoC Creator or ModusToolbox IDE integration.
