c166: Definition and Recommended Links

Our favorite links for this topic area. Enjoy, fellow researchers! Questions, comments, new links? Email eewindow@aol.com!.

The C166 family is a 16-Bit microcontroller architecture from the semiconductor division of Siemens (which is nowadays operates under the name Infineon) in cooperation with ST Microelectronics from the year 1993. She is oriented on the well-etablied RISC concept, but features some microcontroller-specific extensions such as bitadressable memory and a low-latency optimized interrupt system. When this architecture has been introduced their main focus has been to replace the old 8051 controllers from Intel and to bring microcontrollers from 8 to 16 Bit.

Meanwhile the C166 is no longer produced, because it has been replaced by the C167 family and XC167 family.

      StackAnalyzer - Download Free Demo

      StackAnalyzer couples the aiCall software visualization tool with a stack usage analysis module. It automatically determines system stack usage and user stack usage of the tasks in your application. Stack height differences are shown as annotations in the call graph and control flow graph.
