I. Product Overview: 32-bit Performance – ARM® Cortex®-M0 Core
The XMC1301-Q040F0016 AB is a 32-bit industrial microcontroller from the Infineon (Infineon) XMC1100 series of 32-bit industrial microcontrollers based on the ARM® Cortex®-M0​ core. It is housed in a PG-VQFN-40 (5×5mm) package and is specifically designed for low-cost embedded control, digital power conversion and motor control (FOC/BLDC/PMSM) applications.
The XMC1301-Q040F0016 AB integrates 16KB of Flash program memory, 16KB of SRAM data memory and 8KB of ROM, meeting the operational requirements of small to medium-sized embedded programs without the need for additional memory expansion. As an industrial-grade MCU, it operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments whilst also meeting the wide supply voltage requirements of consumer electronics and home appliance applications.
The XMC1301-Q040F0016 AB integrates a comprehensive range of industrial-grade peripherals, including a high-precision PWM module, a multi-channel 12-bit ADC, configurable communication interfaces and analogue comparators. This enables motor closed-loop control, signal acquisition and data transmission without the need for additional peripheral chips, significantly simplifying hardware design and reducing BOM costs.
