Introduction - XE166 family
XE166 family - More performance, more Flash, better peripherals
With more than 15 successful years in the microcontroller market place, C166 has set the standard for 16-bit
architectures with the highest aggregate volume share of all available 16-bit devices.
With its fast interrupt response and context switching, the C166 family is ideally suited for automotive, industrial,
mass storage and wired as well as wireless communications applications.
Compared with the XC166, XE166 delivers more performance, more Flash memory, more RAM, strongly
enhanced peripherals and a complete DSP library.
MCU and DSP in a core
Infineon Technologies´ Real Time Signal Controller combines the traditional strengths of a Microcontroller Unit
(MCU) to control peripherals with the computing power of Digital Signal Processors (DSP). All in one enhanced
C166S V2 core. Together, the Microcontroller's real-time capability and ease of use and the DSP's mathematical
performance and data throughput form a powerful singe-chip solution ideal for many embedded applications.
For detailed technical information about the different derivatives please refer to the XE166 family web pages on
the Infineon Internet.
This document covers all products of the XE162xL, XE161xL, XE161FU and XE160FU series.
