Product details
Overview
SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD from Infineon Technologies is a 32-bit TriCore V1.3 single-chip microcontroller with 150 MHz CPU clock, 2 MB program flash (PFLASH) with ECC, and dual 16-channel ADCs supporting 8/10/12-bit resolution. It integrates a Peripheral Control Processor (PCP2), MultiCAN module with four nodes and TTCAN support, and operates across the full automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) for engine control and powertrain applications.
For engineers reviewing the SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD datasheet, SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD pinout, SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD application, or SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 MHz real-time execution, on-chip 128 KB data flash for EEPROM emulation, 44 analog input lines, 123 GPIOs, and P/PG-BGA-416-4 package compatibility with automotive ECU layouts.
Technical Context
The TC1796 implements a super-scalar TriCore V1.3 CPU with 4-stage pipeline, single-precision FPU, and hardware bit manipulation-enabling deterministic interrupt response in safety-critical powertrain control. Its dual-bus architecture separates high-bandwidth memory access (64-bit Local Memory Buses) from peripheral communication (32-bit SPB/RPB), reducing contention during concurrent ADC sampling and CAN message handling.
The integrated PCP2 co-processor executes time-critical I/O tasks-including MSC and MLI serial expansion-at single-cycle latency using dedicated 16 KB PRAM and 32 KB CMEM. The MultiCAN module supports TTCAN on one node for synchronized distributed control, while the FADC delivers 10-bit conversion in ≤280 ns with hardware comb filtering for sensor preprocessing.

Pinout & Package
SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD uses a 416-ball plastic ball grid array (P/PG-BGA-416-4) with 1.0 mm ball pitch, optimized for thermal dissipation and signal integrity in automotive ECU modules. Pin functions are defined across five voltage domains (VDDCORE, VDDIO, VDDA, VSS, VSSA) and include dedicated JTAG, OCDS debug, and boot configuration pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| VDDIO | I/O supply input | 3.3 V ±5% supply for all digital GPIOs, ASC/SSC/MLI/MSC interfaces, and external bus signals |
| OSCIN / OSCOUT | Crystal oscillator interface | Accepts 1–20 MHz fundamental-mode crystal; drives internal PLL for 150 MHz system clock generation |
| TDO / TDI / TMS / TCK | JTAG boundary scan interface | IEEE 1149.1-compliant test and debug access; supports OCDS Level 1/2 for CPU and PCP2 |
| ASC0_TX / ASC0_RX | Asynchronous serial channel 0 | Full-duplex UART interface with baud rate generator, parity, framing error detection, and LIN-compatible timing |
| CAN0_TX / CAN0_RX | CAN node 0 differential transceiver interface | Direct connection to external CAN transceiver (e.g., TLE6250); supports ISO 11898-2 physical layer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| 2 MB PFLASH with ECC and 128 KB DFLASH | Supports AEC-Q100 Grade 0 reliability; DFLASH enables wear-leveling and over-the-air firmware updates without external EEPROM |
| Dual 16-channel ADCs + 4-channel FADC | Simultaneous sampling of engine sensors (e.g., crank/cam position, knock, O2) with <280 ns FADC latency for closed-loop combustion control |
| OCDS Level 2 debug with USB-emulation device (TC1796ED) | Enables non-intrusive multi-core tracing, calibration via USB 1.1, and real-time variable monitoring during vehicle road testing |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAK-TC1797-512F180E | Higher clock (180 MHz), larger PFLASH (4 MB), additional GPTA unit, same P/PG-BGA-416-4 package | Targeted at next-gen ADAS domain controllers requiring higher compute throughput and expanded memory for sensor fusion | Select when >150 MHz deterministic performance or ≥4 MB flash is required; pin-compatible but requires revised clock tree and power delivery |
| SPC574S40E1 | Power Architecture e200z4 core, 160 MHz, 2 MB flash, ASIL-D certified per ISO 26262, different BGA-324 package | Designed for safety-critical chassis control where hardware-level ASIL-D compliance is mandated, not just functional safety features | Choose when formal ISO 26262 certification evidence is contractually required; not pin- or software-compatible with TC1796 |
Compared with SAK-TC1796-256F150E BD, the TC1797 offers higher clock speed and flash capacity in identical packaging for seamless upgrade paths, while the SPC574S40E1 provides certified ASIL-D capability at the cost of architectural divergence and reduced peripheral integration for CAN/TTCAN and FADC.
