This tiny yet highly cost-effective insert-ready Single-board computer is based on the Infineon C164CI 16-bit microcontroller in MQFP-80 packaging. The size of a 40-pin DIP device with single row SMD pin header connectors in 2.54 mm pitch, the board is designed for use as a universal core component in a customer application design.

Various port lines of the C164 microcontroller are available to the target application board on these connectors. This allows the DIPmodul-164 to be plugged into a target application like a “big programmable chip”.

The C164CI features an on-chip Full-CAN controller. This enables the DIPmodul-164 to be used as network node within a CAN system. The memory is extendable up to 256kB SRAM and up to 256kB FLASH providing space for even extensive applications.

A serial EERPROM of up to 64kB is available for the non-volatile saving of process variables and data. The FLASH is programmable on-board via serial interface. External peripheral devices can be easily extended using the SPI bus. The driver-software for the on-board peripheral devices are delivered in source-code.
