XC 2000 family


The Infineon XC2000 family is a 16-bit microcontroller that can be found in automotive applications including transmissions, hybrid applications, driver assistant systems and engine management.

Key features

The XC2000 family uses the Infineon proprietary C166 16-bit in a version which also contains a 32-bit MAC unit. Core frequency ranges from 40 to 100 MHz, embedded flash from 32 KB to 1.6 MB, RAM up to 138 KB. The microcontroller containing an embedded voltage regulator can run from a single power supply between 3 and 5 V.

Architecture

CPU

The Central Processing Unit of the XC2000 microcontroller family is principally fetching and decoding instructions, to supply, perform operations and store calculated result on the operands for the arithmetic logic unit and the MAC unit.
As the CPU is the main engine of the XC2000 microcontroller, it is also affected by certain actions of the peripheral subsystem. Because a five-stage processing pipeline is implemented in the XC2000, up to five instructions can be processed in parallel. Most instructions of the XC2000 are executed in one single clock cycle due to this parallelism.

Peripherals

Evaluation kits

There are "Easy Kits" for evaluation of the controller features and "Application Kits" as quick start for specific applications available. Main applications are in the industrial field like electric motor control, automation and solar inverters.
