FAQs About the SAK-XC164CM-16F20FBA MCU

Is the SAK-XC164CM-16F20FBA safe for use?

Yes. This particular model of MCU from Infineon Technologies has passed RoHS testing and is fully RoHS compliant.

What is Infineon MCU?

A microcontroller unit, generally, contains a central processing unit, memory, and input/output peripherals. It contains all these parts in a single integrated circuit chip and works as a kind of standalone computer. Infineon Technologies is a manufacturer of these kinds of chips.

What is the difference between a system on a chip and a MCU?

A system on a chip (SoC) is a style of chip that is capable of running an entire operating system. A Microcontroller can only run one program. It is often the case that MCUs will be used as a component of a SoC.
