Renesas H8S/2161B (H8S/2140B group)
The Renesas H8S/2161B is the embedded controller chip found in many ThinkPad models. It controls various low-bandwidth devices such as keyboard, mouse, system fan, thermal sensors, accelerometer, intelligent Li-Ion batteries, LEDs and switches. It hosts the firmware responsible for the Active Protection System and advanced battery control.
ATTENTION!
The Flash memory of the H8S/2161B is rated for just 100 guaranteed rewrite cycles. However, the Technical Update "F-ZTAT Specification Change" specifies typically 10,000 for 35 µm technology with the note: "This is an indication that rewrite operation can normally function up to this figure."
