Introduction
This User’s Manual describes the Infineon TC1796, a 32-bit microcontroller DSP based
on the Infineon TriCore Architecture.

About this Document
This document is designed to be read primarily by design engineers and software
engineers who need a detailed description of the interactions of the TC1796 functional
units, registers, instructions, and exceptions.
This TC1796 User’s Manual describes the features of the TC1796 with respect to the
TriCore Architecture. Where the TC1796 directly implements TriCore architectural
functions, this manual simply refers to those functions as features of the TC1796. In all
cases where this manual describes a TC1796 feature without referring to the TriCore
Architecture, this means that the TC1796 is a direct implementation of the TriCore
Architecture.
Where the TC1796 implements a subset of TriCore architectural features, this manual
describes the TC1796 implementation, and then describes how it differs from the TriCore
Architecture. For example, where the TriCore Architecture specifies up to four Memory
Protection Register Sets, the TC1796 implements but two. Such differences between the
TC1796 and the TriCore Architecture are documented in the text covering each such
subject.

Related Documentations
A complete description of the TriCore architecture is found in the document entitled
“TriCore Architecture Manual”. The architecture of the TC1796 is described separately
this way because of the configurable nature of the TriCore specification: Different
versions of the architecture may contain a different mix of systems components. The
TriCore architecture, however, remains constant across all derivative designs in order to
preserve compatibility.
In addition to this “TC1796 System Units (Vol. 1 of 2) User’s Manual”, a second
document, the “TC1796 Peripheral Units (Vol. 2 of 2) User’s Manual”, is available. These
two User’s Manuals together with the “TriCore Architecture Manual” are required to
understand the complete TC1796 microcontroller functionality.
Implementation-specific details of the TC1796 such as electrical characteristics and
timing parameters are defined in the “TC1796 Data Sheet”.
