The ECU appears to use two 16bit Infineon B59233-FA (aka SAK-C167CR-4RM) CPUs. Non-volatile code/data is stored on a single 16bit AM29F800BB 44 pin PSOP

ME7 is a load based engine management system.

ME7 continuously calculates the "nominal charging moment" (requested torque?) that the user seems to be requesting. This, in turn generates a "requested load", which is capped by "specified corrected load" (a function of RPM, IAT and other limiting parameters, such as knock control, etc.). This requested load determines the throttle plate angle and requested boost.

Once the ECU decides the requested load is large enough(?), its fueling control system goes open loop. In the ME7.1 asynchronous path, this means that all fueling decisions are going to be made almost soley based on mass air flow sensor readings. Those MAF readings also go into the fueling maps as a "engine load" and are used to generate injector on times independent of O2 sensor readings.

In the ME7.1 synchronous path, the timing maps determine the timing at every cycle of every cylinder, and should the knock sensor for a given cylinder reach a certain threshold, the timing will be cut down for the next cycle for that cylinder. If the knock sensor activity subsides, the timing will be restored, one step at a time, until another knock event occurs on that cylinder.
