Introduction

The C161 is a new derivative of the Siemens SAB 80C166 family of single-chip CMOS microcontrollers. It combines high CPU performance (up to 8 million instructions per second) with high peripheral functionality and enhanced IO-capabilities. The C161 derivatives are especially suited for cost sensitive applications.
