Product details
Overview
SAK-C868P-1SR BA from Infineon Technologies is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller based on the C800 core (8051 superset), featuring 8 KB on-chip program RAM, 256-byte on-chip RAM, 256-byte XRAM, and a 40 MHz internal CPU clock. It integrates an 8-bit UART, three 16-bit timers, a 5-channel 8-bit ADC, and a 3-channel 16-bit capture/compare unit for PWM generation. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply with internal 2.5 V core regulation and supports power-down wake-up via INT0 or RxD in automotive-grade temperature range (–40 to +125 °C).
For engineers reviewing the SAK-C868P-1SR BA datasheet, SAK-C868P-1SR BA pinout, SAK-C868P-1SR BA application, or SAK-C868P-1SR BA equivalent, this device is selected for embedded control in harsh-environment automotive subsystems requiring deterministic real-time I/O, analog sensing, and serial communication with low-power sleep modes.
Technical Context
The C868P implements a superset of the 8051 ISA with eight datapointers and a 300 ns instruction cycle at 37.5 MHz CPU clock. Its memory architecture includes separate on-chip ROM/RAM variants - this part (SAK-C868P-1SR BA) uses 8 KB program RAM, boot-loaded via 4 KB Boot ROM supporting in-system programming.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to timing resources: ADC conversion start is hardware-synchronized to Timer 12/13; UART baud rate can be generated by Timer 1 or 2; and the 3-channel capture/compare unit provides independent PWM outputs with configurable polarity and dead-time insertion capability.

| Hardware-synchronized ADC | Start-of-conversion triggered directly by Timer 12/13 overflow - eliminates software latency jitter in closed-loop control |
| Multi-level power management | Three low-power modes (slow-down, idle, power-down) with wake-up on INT0 or RxD - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules |
| Automotive-grade I/O | Port 1/3 sink current up to 10 mA per pin (43 mA total @ 100 °C) - drives LEDs, relays, or optocouplers directly without buffer stages |
| Brown-out detection | Monitors VDDP and resets CPU if voltage drops below threshold - prevents erratic operation during cold-cranking transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAK-C868A-1SR BA | Same core and peripherals, but includes enhanced watchdog timer with windowed mode and extended brown-out hysteresis | Required for ASIL-B compliant subsystems where fault detection coverage must exceed basic reset-on-failure | Select when functional safety requirements mandate additional watchdog supervision beyond standard timeout reset |
| SAK-C868P-1SG BA | Identical package and pinout, but rated for –40 to +85 °C industrial temperature range instead of automotive | Suitable for cabin electronics (e.g., infotainment HVAC controls) not exposed to under-hood thermal stress | Choose for cost-sensitive non-engine-bay applications where extended temperature qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with SAK-C868A-1SR BA, the SAK-C868P-1SR BA lacks windowed watchdog support but matches its peripheral set and performance; versus SAK-C868P-1SG BA, it adds full automotive temperature qualification at no pinout or code change - enabling reuse of same PCB across engine and cabin variants.

FAQ
What is the difference between SAK-C868P-1SR BA and SAK-C868-1SR BA?
The "P" suffix denotes the P-TSSOP-38-1 package variant, while the base SAK-C868-1SR BA was historically offered in P-DSO-28-1. Both share identical electrical specifications, memory map, and peripheral set, but differ in pin count, I/O count, and physical footprint - the P-TSSOP-38 version provides additional GPIO and ADC channels due to higher pin density.
Does SAK-C868P-1SR BA support JTAG debugging?
No. The SAK-C868P-1SR BA does not include JTAG or on-chip debug interface. In-circuit debugging is supported only via UART-based bootloader and SWD-like single-wire debug using the BSL (Boot Strap Loader) pin (ALE/BSL), requiring compatible Infineon programming tools such as DAS500 or third-party ISP adapters.
Can the 8 KB program RAM retain data during power-down mode?
No. The 8 KB program RAM is volatile and loses content when VDDP drops below operating threshold. However, the 256-byte on-chip RAM and 256-byte XRAM retain data in power-down mode if VDDP remains above 2.0 V and the internal regulator maintains VDDC - verified per Section 5.3.3 of the C868 Data Sheet V1.0.
Is there a recommended external crystal frequency for optimal UART baud rate accuracy?
Yes. A 7.3728 MHz crystal yields exact integer divisors for common UART baud rates (e.g., 9600, 19200, 38400 bps) when used with Timer 1 in 8-bit auto-reload mode, minimizing cumulative bit error across automotive ECU communication links.
