Infineon AURIX microcontroller TC3xx series boosts electric traffic development
On October 28, 2016, in order to meet the market demand for autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles, Infineon Technologies AG recently released a new generation of AURIXTM microcontrollers, TC3xx, which is the most integrated product of its kind on the market. Performance is three times that of existing devices.
The high-performance six-core architecture of the AURIXTM family of TC3xx, along with advanced features such as interconnect, encryption and embedded security, make it ideal for a wide range of automotive applications. Automotive transmission applications include not only engine management and transmission control, but also new electric drive systems and hybrid systems. In particular, hybrid control, variable frequency control, battery management and DCDC converters will all benefit from this new product line. Not only that, but the AURIX TC3xx microcontrollers can also be used in safety-critical applications such as airbags, brakes, power steering, and sensing systems using radar or camera technology. The outstanding performance combined with the powerful security architecture make the TC3xx series ideal for professional controller applications and data fusion applications that will support automated driving.
Peter Schaefer, vice president and general manager of controller business at Infineon, said: "The AURIX TC3xx family of devices will advance the development of autonomous driving and electric vehicles. We are proud to introduce a new generation of high-performance multi-core microcontrollers, which will set new performance. Standards, performance, encryption and security features are all in accordance with ISO 26262 ASIL-D system requirements."
AURIXTM TC3xx with outstanding performance, connectivity and security
The AURIX TC3xx family of devices offers best-in-class memory scalability (up to 16MB of flash and more than 6MB of integrated RAM). Compared to existing AURIX TC2xx microcontrollers with up to three TriCoreTM cores, the TC3xx multicore microcontrollers feature up to six cores with clock frequencies up to 300MHz per core. Among them, 4 cores are additionally equipped with a lock-step kernel to ensure that the integrated device has the more computing power required by ISO26262 functional safety. Its computing power is up to 2400 DMIPS, which is much higher than the 740 DMIPS of the previous generation AURIX architecture, supporting ASIL-D automotive applications.
The performance enhancements of the new generation of AURIX and the re-use of existing security concepts enable automotive system suppliers to reduce development costs by 20% while reducing time-to-market. The microcontroller offers a wide range of functions including drive control, chassis control, and next-generation radar and fusion algorithms.
