Micro programmable logic controller (micro PLC)

PLC solutions by Cypress

Cypress Semiconductor has become part of Infineon Technologies: Its product range is a perfect match. Infineon now offers the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio for linking the real with the digital world – comprising an unparalleled range of hardware, software and security solutions for the connected age.
Strengthening the link between the real and the digital world

Automating processes is a PLC’s primary objective. To do so, it monitors and interprets different variables so it can control and actuate external systems. Responsible for basic controls in a host of general applications, micro PLCs are under mounting pressure to be both user-friendly and cost-effective. Additional challenges micro PLCs currently face: sensing, controlling, driving and communicating under harsh conditions and in limited space. Altogether, this places high demands on microcontrollers in micro PLC applications.

In tune with these demands, Infineon offers high-quality microcontrollers in the XMC1000 family – at an attractive price. Our XMC1000 family houses an ARM® Cortex™-M0 core and is ideally suited for a micro PLC’s communication and human-machine interface tasks. It offers 200kb of flash, 2 CAN nodes, 4 serial channels, 3 x 64 LED matrix control, 9-channel LED brightness and color control.

Because at Infineon we believe that even cost-friendly products deserve enhancements, a selection of our XMC1000 microcontrollers is equipped with an optional integrated security IP. This exceptional added value for your micro PLC application is something you’ll find nowhere else on the market.
